I love and cherish our Veterans!

FYI - Many Americans mistakenly believe that Veterans Day is the day America sets aside to honor American military personnel who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained from combat. That's not quite true. Memorial Day is the day set aside to honor America's war dead.

Veterans Day, on the other hand, honors ALL American veterans, both living and dead. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank LIVING veterans for dedicated and loyal service to their country. November 11 of each year is the day that we ensure veterans know that we deeply appreciate the sacrifices they have made in the lives to keep our country free.

You know when I saw these Thanksgiving Day Parade postage stamps with a turkey on 'em, I had to buy some.

Planters Digestive Health Mix, with pistachios, almonds, tart cranberries, crunchy granola clusters, and sweet cherries are tasty; those dried cherries are especially good.

I'm getting ready to watch BIGGEST LOSER, because I haven't lost any weight lately, lost a little focus, I've been cooking again. If I had that Trainer Jillian Michaels, she would scare the weight off me. I'm convinced, if they'd send her to Afghanistan, she'd quickly straighten the whole mess out.

It is hard to lose weight when you are a good cook!

I love those stamps.I always watch the parade.

My Hubby is a veteran,12 years in the Navy.He was never in war thank God!Still 12 years serving your country is still 12 years.He is modest though,he never even stands up at church when they ask for the vets,he say too many others made made greater sacrifices and he would not want to take away from that.We feel the military holidays strongly in our home,for the past and future since I know my son will most likely join one of the armed forces when he is grown.

Love your questionnaire answers. I relate to all of them and share most of them. Orange is an unusual favorite color, but it's mine too. Jillian scares me too, so I don't watch that show. Don't worry about the diet set backs. Just try to make healthy choices and get back on the wagon. I'm counting points again this week too, and will continue until I shave off a few pounds that found their way back. Gotta strike while the iron's hot. It's a lifetime commitment, so being kind to yourself along the way is important.

Love you Joanna!

Did Franklin pose for the postage stamp? Remember in Fargo, when Norm was so proud to have his artwork chosen for - I think - a
2c stamp?

Nancy in Iowa
