Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. It’s a bitter sweet celebration this year. I miss the Thanksgivings we once knew, with the house bursting at the seams with extended family. Growing up, family was more than just relatives. Friends were family, too. Our house was filled with people and plenty of good food.

I am relived to say that my time to serve on a jury is up. All it took was a phone call late in the evening the night before I was to report. The automated service said “We have all the jurors needed at this time. We thank you for your service and you are dismissed”. Guess it pays to procrastinate.

They say when you are attempting to sell your house, you should bake cookies. The scent of home baked cookies conjures up feeling of home and warmth and family. That might be. For me, it’s the smell of bread baking that really hits home.

It’s Indiana Day – Again! It’s also National Fast Food Day. Once again, taking both cues, I went in search of the most popular Fast Food Chain in all of Indiana. Would you believe Chick Fil-A came in number 1. More on that in a minute.

Today is Veterans Day. As a Nation, we owe a great debt of gratitude to those who answer the call to serve, and even to sacrifice all, for the greater good. Sometimes we forget, they do not serve alone.

Your foot gets to tapping. Your body begins to sway. First there is the guitar strumming, the cords filled with a down home rhythm. Then the drums begin to play.
