I Got You Babe ♪

February 2nd is Groundhog Day

February 2nd is Groundhog Day. February 2nd is Groundhog Day! Whenever this day rolls around I always think of the movie by the same name. It’s where Bill Murray plays a weather man and every morning he wakes up to the same day (sorta) over and over and over again… and Sonny and Cher are singing “I got you babe” on the radio… “Just put your little hand in mine… Just put your little hand in mine… Just put your little hand in mine.”

I don’t know about you, but I sure hope the weather on February 2 is not a repeat of the last couple of days, that is, with snow on the ground. I must say; however, that things are looking up, the sun is out right now this second. But wait a minute… that’s not a good sign is it? The legend of Groundhog Day is if Phil, the groundhog, sees his shadow when he comes out of his hole (in other words, if it’s sunny) there will be six weeks more of winter. Please let it be cloudy. Please, Please, Please! Let it be cloudy on Groundhog Day!!!

We Are Marshall!

Today is Anniversary of the Marshall University Plane Crash

I was almost 9 years old when Dennis Blevins died in that plane crash, alongside with almost the entire Marshall University “Thundering Herd” football team and coaches and the flight crew, fans and supporters. I vividly remember that fateful night, November 14, 1970 – watching the TV with my family to see if Dennis’ name was included in the list of those who had died. I remember the names scrolling by, one by one and praying that his name was not there. I remember the sadness that I felt once I saw his name.

When digestive functions happen in health fashion in the human body, everything will automatically fall in place. discount for cialis Man after intake of wonderful and cheap generic sildenafil canada Kamagra available for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. Dennis was a great friend of the family – you could say he was “one of the family” as he seemed to always be at our house. I am sure that my brothers and sisters have many more memories than I do, but I remember that he was nice to me and played with me. He treated me like a “little sister” and was my brother’s best friend… and I remember those matching shiny jackets that he and my brother wore to their high school (Park Central) prom — I wish I could find those pictures! Dennis was the reason I decided to attend Marshall University.

The last time we went to flower the graves of our dearly departed loved ones on Memorial Day, I noticed Dennis’ grave near my father’s grave and sister’s marker – it seemed fitting that he was so close… as we laid a flower next to his name. Remembering you Dennis, especially today, but Always with Love… Never Without!

God Bless Our Troops

Today is… Memorial Day!

A lot of folks celebrate Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries, some by flying the U.S. flag, and others by having barbeques, picnics, family get-togethers and attending firework shows (or any combination thereof).  The swimming pools open — it’s the first sign of summer!

But when and where did the holiday start?  After doing a little digging, it seems there are several claims to the “first” Memorial Day. I’ve known for some time that Memorial Day is a commemoration to all who have died defending the United States of America, but, here’s what I didn’t know. During the Civil War, the Washington Race Course in Charleston, SC was converted to one of several Confederate camps for Union prisoners of war.  Where men died and were buried in unmarked graves. In April 1865, “freedmen” (freed enslaved Africans) exhumed the bodies from the mass grave to give the men a proper burial.  They built a fence around the burial ground, with an arch reading “Martyrs of the Race Course.”  On May 1, 1865, thousands of freed slaves, children, and Union soldiers made a procession to the cemetery. They laid flowers on the graves, and picnicked on the grass — they called it “Decoration Day”.  There was also a separate day to honor the Confederate dead created for those who did not want to celebrate the honoring of the Union dead.  During the mid-20th century, all of the celebrated days were merged into what is now known nationally as Memorial Day.

As we go about our the day with Memorial Day picnics, barbeques and other celebrations, let us also honor and and remember all of the men and women who gave their lives in service to this nation.  And God Bless Our Troops please, Always with Love! 

Have a Happy Holiday — And if you are one of the 34.3 million travelers this year… safe travels to you!

Back to the Future

Today is March Forth and Do Something Day!

Are we really going back to the future? Today, individual states are passing strict voter ID laws that are undoubtedly designed to disenfranchise the poor, people of color, the elderly and young people. No longer will folks be able to show utility bills and other items as a form of ID for voting. This may discourage some people from participating. Instead of making the process easier, some are working hard to find new ways to suppress the vote right before our very eyes.

On this March 4th, folks are once again marching from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, just as many did in 1965, where blood was shed and some died. They are literally marching forth and doing something today! 

The Reverend Al Sharpton/National Action Network, along with congressional leaders, activists and everyday citizens will start at the Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 4th and will march at least 10 miles per day, stay in tents along Route 80, convene rallies and teach-ins along the way, and finally gather in front of the Alabama State Capitol on Friday, March 9th.

In 1965, African American men in the United States had already possessed a “theoretical” right to vote for almost a hundred years (see 15th Amendment of the US Constitution). But, by the 20th century, new constitutions were adopted disenfranchising African-American voters. Black citizens attempting to exercise their constitutional right to vote encountered many barriers that they often found insurmountable. These included poll taxes, literacy tests, clauses that limited voting to people whose ancestors had voted in the past, and party primary elections that were limited to whites.

Today’s march is to not only commemorate those marches made in 1965, which helped to rush Congress to enact the legislation called The Voting Rights Act; but to also shine a light on what is happening today with voter rights laws. The rules are changing. Some of which include: tougher voter ID requirements, getting the required ID will be harder; making it harder for groups to register others to vote; eliminating same day registration; reducing the number of days for early voting; and more. Further reading can be found at Brennan Center for Justice website “Voting Law Changes in 2012”.  

What can you do?  YOU can March forth and…

  • REGISTER TO VOTE (it’s real easy to do on-line)
  • Check your registration status
  • Find out what the deadlines are to register and to vote
  • Know where you are supposed to vote
  • Find out what ID is needed to vote
  • Make sure that you have the right ID to vote

Most of them try their viagra discount sales best to get thin, but they are unable to do so. After lot research and tadalafil discount development works FDA recommended the implementation of this drug to treat men’s ED issue. Since you’ve been drinking, some of their advice is pretty interesting, including the one about using dirty pick up lines, you’ll see their usually revolted brand viagra by these comments and will quickly walk away from you. cheapest viagra online check here now As erectile dysfunction considers a form of hard pills must be taken with the normal water.

Folks died for you to have this right… and most importantly, Regardless of your political affiliation, March forth and exercise your right – REGISTER and VOTE!

Always with Love!

It’s Chili!

Happy National Chili Day!

Boots' Bluefield Chili

I don’t know how I let National Chili Day slip by me! This year it was February 23rd. When I woke this morning and looked out the window, it had snowed… again! So I thought to myself — this is a great day for chili! And today is just as good a day as any to celebrate that down home goodness of Boots’ Bluefield Chili (“BBC”). Oh the spices, the aroma, the taste! After trekking to the grocery store in 30 degree and blustery snow (OK… I drove, and the snow was not blustering. But the wind was blowing hard and we did have a few little flurries… AND it was 30 degrees… brrrrrr… chilly), I made, with mom’s assistance, some BBC (except I used ground turkey instead of ground beef with shredded cheese on top!) — See actual picture, right before consumption.  I also recommend saltines on top, but I’ve given those up for lent.

I suggest you make some of your very own.  Or, if you live in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky or Florida, visit one of my favorite’s – y’all know what I’m talking about. It’s Skyline Time for some good ol’ 4-Way Chili! My sister has promised to bring me some from Cincinnati the next time she visits. Although I could just order it online, or buy it in the grocery store, it just wouldn’t be the same!

P.S… if you twist my arm I’ll give you the BBC recipe, with mom’s permission of course.

Anyway, Happy National Chili Day – a few days late!

What TODAY will Tomorrow be?  “Open that Bottle Night” — Hey, maybe I’ll celebrate that one a day early… A nice bottle of Riesling will go perfectly with my Chili!

No Place for Sissies

Today is… National Senior Citizens Day!

In loving Memory of one Very Special Senior - "Mary P" (my grandmother)

Over twenty years ago, President Reagan declared August 21st National Senior Citizens Day.

“For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older.” ~ President Ronald Reagan

I am reminded of the special Birthday message my mother received from President Obama and our First Lady, just a few weeks ago. It was one of many highlights of her 80th Birthday celebration!

But because it does not need any medical equipment, patients can operate it at home, therefore, it is convenient and people mastercard viagra do not have to be embarrassed while buying them. Ashwagandha is especially helpful for people djpaulkom.tv bulk viagra uk with insomnia, low libido, depression, arthritis and anxiety. Treating female sexual dysfunction prescription viagra cost can be really helpful. You need to massage the levitra lowest price male organ daily two or three times. Senior Citizens day is an opportunity for us to show our gratitude for what seniors have achieved in their lives and their contributions to our communities.

Speaking of Senior Citizens, I recently received my first AARP information in the mail. I quickly, without hesitating (or reading) threw it away. Wait, I left out a part. I first tore it up – then I threw it away! Surely, this mail was meant for my mother and not ME. I know it’s not time for ME to receive such a thing. But alas, yes my friends, it is indeed that time. There have been many signs leading the way to this mailing. All I have to do is look in the mirror and see all the gray hair (which actually started graying when I was in my 20’s).  A big sign? Not so much.  But a sign nonetheless. It has been suggested that I embrace the gray! Hmmmm. I’m still thinking about that one. And let’s not forget about the new aches and pains. And Lord knows, I can’t eat the same things I used to. As my grandmother used to say… “the older you get, the older you get!”  I didn’t quite “get it” at the time, but I have learned no truer words have been spoken!  … But, I digress.

Today, in particular, let’s be sure to spend time with our Very Special Seniors (“VSS”). Visit them in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. Get together with your older loved ones and share stories and fondly recount old memories… while you make new ones. 

And if YOU are a VSS, this is YOUR day! Enjoy it doing what ever YOU choose. And don’t forget to take advantage of all those senior citizens discounts and specials. 

Hmmmm, maybe I should have held on to that mail!! Well no, I’m not quite old enough to get the discounts yet! But, I am knocking on 50’s door. One thing I’m sure of though, and it’s that there will be more AARP information forthcoming — Lord willin’ and the crick don’t rise. Next time, I’ll be sure to read it… before I throw it away!  Afterall,  “Old age is no place for sissies.” ~Bette Davis

Happy Senior Citizens Day… Always with Love!

Girlfriends R 4ever!

Today is… National Girlfriend’s Day!

What would we do without our sista-girls, confidants, shopping buddies, dinner companions, and traveling girlfriends? 

Today spend time and share laughs, information, updates… with your best girlfriend(s).  And let us be sure to inspire, support and encourage each other!

Even if you can’t get together on this day – go ahead and plan it – don’t wait or procrastinate. Here are a few ways to celebrate:

Get a mani/pedi. Visit your favorite spa or salon together (one of my all time favorite things to do with my girlfriends!).

Go wine tasting. Find out when the local wine shops have a wine tasting or go winery hopping at a few wineries (if you are near Gordonsville, VA, try Horton Winery. I love, love, love! their Blueberry Wine. They are open for tastings 7 Days a Week from 10 am – 5 pm). Hmmm… can you say “Road trip?!”.

Friends are like wine, they get better with age.

Get Artsy. Take an art class together and create a work of art for each other.

Give to your community. Donate your time to a soup kitchen or shelter. Check out Minnie’s Food Pantry — they are doing great things!

Bucket list. Make a list of the 10 things you’ve never done, but always wanted to do (before you “kick the bucket”), and promise each other to do at least one thing on each of your lists together at least every 3-6 months.

Plan a girlfriend get-away. Check out Tyland Travel — the go-to lady for group/event based travel! — and plan a mini-break to take together… but just don’t plan it, do it!

Couch potatoes for a Day. Rent the entire series of your favorite TV series and watch back to back episodes of it.  Be sure to have popcorn handy, order pizza or from your favorite “takeout for dinner place”… and don’t forget dessert!

Calories don’t count when you are having dinner with your girlfriends.

Have a heart-to-heart. Maintain a strong friendship by having a necessary, but put off heart-to-heart talk to work through any problems you may have in your relationship. Keep it strong!

A good long talk can cure almost anything!

Donate your clothing. Go through your closets together and set aside anything that doesn’t fit or look good on you anymore (your girlfriends will tell you the truth!). Donate the clothes, shoes, jewelery to your local organizations that accept used clothes, etc.

Sweat together. Go for a run or bike through your local park or hit the gym or the local YMCA/YWCA.

Muse at a museum. Visit one or two art museums and talk about the paintings, prints and sculptures that inspire you.

But wait…there’s more?  Check out Girlfriend Getaways for all kinds of Girl Time ideas!

GEMS MAY BE PRECIOUS, BUT GIRLFRIENDS ARE PRICELESS!

and Happy Happy Birthday to my very best girlfriend in the whole wide world… My Mom!  HAPPY 80TH !!

Always with Love for you Mom!!
