Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day to everyone. I hope that you all thanked a Vet for their service to our country. Grandpa Miller and Dad were on my mind a lot today, both of them being veterans.

Grandpa served in the Army in Germany during World War II.

Dad was in the Army, and served in Panama.


My uncle Donald was also in the Army, and served in several locations.

Several of my great-uncles also served in the military, but I don't remember which branch of the Armed Forces.

Also, my dear husband is an Air Force Vet. I don't have a picture of him from his military days. I do know that he was based in Alaska (very close to Russia), North Dakota, and Upstate New York.

I am very proud of the members of my family that have served the USA, during wars or during peace time. I am very proud of them. Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for what you have done.

I know this is an old music video, but I thought it was fitting.

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
