If someone sends you an email to send Christmas cards to wounded soldiers
in care of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington DC it's false. That
hospital closed in 2011. You can send cards through your local Red Cross. I am
going to do some investigation as to where cards can be sent. Will get back to
you on this.
Here is the recipe for the Greek Tzatziki Dip:
1 hothouse cucumber, cut ends off, scrape out seeds, and grate
with box grater. Squeeze out most of the moisture.
Mix in 14 oz of Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 T. lemon
juice, 1 T. white wine vinegar (I used honey balsamic), 1 T. minced fresh dill
(I used dried), 1½ t. minced garlic, 2 t. Kosher salt and ½ t. fresh ground
black pepper. Mix well. Serve room temp or cold. Store in sealed container for
up to 1 week. Makes 3 cups. YUMMMMY!!!!
I got my Christmas lights up yesterday (in the rain!) .....................

November 29th
National Square Dance Day
Here's
a chance to get out and "Dosey Do" with your partner. It's Square Dance Day!
English,
Irish, and Scottish settlers brought square dancing to the U.S. As it evolved in
the U.S., a caller was added, to help dancers stay in step. It remains popular
among southern and western rural areas, and with senior citizens.
Couples
square dance in circles or square formations. It's lively and quick, and lots of
fun.
Square
Dancing is both fun, and great exercise. Medical sites and journals speaks to
its health benefits for people of all
ages.
