My Four Day Weekend!

I had a good four day weekend. The beginning of the long weekend was filled with baking and eating. I had some relatives over at the house till Thursday night. They left to go shopping for black Friday. On Friday, I did absolutely nothing. Well I did do a little homework. On Saturday, I watched all of the Star War movies. I like R2-D2. On Sunday I had to go on a retreat with my sister because I am her sponsor for confirmation. We dominated the trivia game. Catholic school really paid off. We were a little surprised at the limited knowledge of the other people there. I guess that's the catholic education talking though. I have had religion every day during the school year for the past twelve years. It would be bad if I didn't know anything about the catholic faith.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving means that that it's time to give thanks for what we have and be prepared to chow down. We will either go visit some relatives for Thanksgiving or they will come visit us. This year we our going to have our relatives from Louisiana and Indiana come visit us. We have things like turkey, stuffing, candied yams, corn, rolls, and mashed potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner. We really do not have a Thanksgiving tradition. We celebrate Thanksgiving because it is good to give thanks for what what have and because of the pilgrims and the Indians.  The pilgrims came to the Americas for religious freedoms. They had a lot of trouble when they finally had arrived. The Indians helped them out eventually though. As a way of showing their appreciation for the indians' help, they held a feast.

Veterans Day!

Veteran's day is a day to remember all those who are fighting for our freedom and all those who have fought for our freedom. I really don't have any military individuals in my family. Besides Bumpa serving in the Vietnam war, that's pretty much it.This day isn't particularly important to me but I know it is important to others. I am not interested in joining the military. It means a lot to me to"serve your country".  It means giving up things for the benefit of the country as a whole. In the military's case, they may give up anything from time at home to their lives. I have never been to or participated in a Veterans day parade.

Election!

If I could vote, I would probaly vote for Romney. I don't think that Obama has done anything major, and it is time to try something new. I think that Romney is right to change our health care policy. Obama care does not lower health care cost it only makes sure that everyone is covered.I will be so happy when this election is over. They have been driving me nuts with all the tv, internet, and radio ads. I much rather hear about car ads instead of the back and forth ads for the presidential candidates. These ads really do drive me crazy.

They're called the Silence

Silence will fall.......
