Good Afternoon on a beautiful Veteran's Day
Good afternoon....
How's everyone doing today? Good, I hope!
It's a beatiful day in MO...sun's shinnin', and the temps. aren't bad.
Today is Veteran's Day, in the US, and I also know that Canada, and the UK, also celebrate today, in honor of their veterans. I'm sure there are other countries that do so also, even if not at this time of year. So, I want to take the time to say "Thank You", to all who have served their country, in time of need...both in the past, the present, and the future. It is because of them, that so many of us have the freedoms that we do today, and are so blessed to live in FREE, countries. I hope you'll visit my blog page, that honors those who served during WWII ... http://cwwpeterson.blogspot.com/
Lee was suppose to have today off, but informed me last night, that he still had stuff to finish, and would probably have to work at least 1/2 a day, today...so far, he still isn't home.
I had made plans to go pick up Landon, Amanda and the boys, and bring them back here, later this afternoon. Landon works till 3, so I can't get them till after then. They're coming back here for supper, and Landon may help Lee somemore on the car, if they have any idea where to start looking. Lee took the car to work today, since we thought he'd be back around noon, so I'm stuck here till he gets back. Hopefully, it isn't going to be too much longer. I may have him leave directly from work and go get Landon, if he happens to be leaving there about the time I was to go pick them up. It would sure save some extra driving, rather than him come all the way home, and me have to leave again. So...guess I'll call him in a bit, and see if he has any idea how much longer he's going to be stuck at work.
We both have to work tomorrow, then Sunday off for both of us. Landon was lucky enough to get Sat. and Sunday off...but he know that will be few and far between. lol They're doin' supper with us tonight, and then since he has off, we'll probably try and do something Sunday again...maybe Sat. and Sunday. Ya never can tell with us. lol
I haven't done too much today...spent most of the morning on the puter, then at least figured I'd better get some clothes thrown in the washer...so I've at least got that going. So, as we speak, there's a load in the dryer, and the washer is washing away. Now... how long it takes me to get all these clean clothes put away,....that will be another story. hahahahaha
I went yesterday to go pick up Lee's check, went and paid my rent...which is considered late, if postmarked after the 10th....I got to the post office 10 mins. before their last pickup. So, I lucked out there. Lack of money, with sounds very familiar, has caused Landon and Amanda's phone to get shut off...or at least till Mon. So, with not being able to get ahold of them, I figured I'd run out to Ashland, check in on them, make sure everything was okay, and try to make a few "advanced" plans, since I couldn't call. So, we made the plans to get them today...and do supper here tonight. I suppose that before I take them home tonight, we will make some sort of tentative plans for the next couple of days.
Just before I left landon's, Lee called me, and said he was going to be late. He went in early yesterday, getting there about 7:30 am, and finally called me to come get him about 8:30. 13 hours is quite the day...but unfortunately, it isn't the first time he's done that...and I'm sure it won't be the last. Especially with Christmas coming. Once Thanksgiving is over, there will be NO days off for Lee, until after Christmas...only his Sundays. Well...at least till Christmas Eve. It is a very very busy time for the jewelry business. Anyway, since Lee was going to work late...figured it wouldn't do much good to come home and try to fix a meal...not knowing when he'd get home. So, on the way home from Landon's, I ran through Pizza Hut, and took a pizza home for supper. As it was, Lee had already eaten a sandwich, but he did have a couple of pieces of pizza, later in the evening. Speaking of pizza...which I love, I had remembered a few mins. ago that it was in the frige...left overs, so I decided to pop a couple of pieces in the oven to warm up for my lunch. I'm beginning to start and smell it...mummmmmm...won't be long now.
Moriah is going to a friends house, after school. Kristen and Moriah have been friends for about 7 years. They met when we lived in Fayette...Kristen just lived a couple of blocks away. Then, we moved to Columbia, and of course, Moriah was devistated...having to go visit Kristen, whenever we would happen to be in Fayette, for one reason or another. Anyway, come to find out...Kristen and her mom moved to columbia this summer...so needless to say, that made her and Moriah, both very happy. Anyway, Kristen's brother is in a band that is playing at one of the local clubs tonight.. "The Blue Note" http://www.thebluenote.com/ and naturally, Kristen wants moriah to go with her. Kim, her mom, his going also. I honestly can't say which one of these bands is Kristen's brother, or which one he is...lol I haven't seen him about 4 yrs...lol But, it's one of the two bands show for tonight at the Blue Note. A couple of yrs ago, for our anniversary, the store (Tucker's) bought Lee and I tickets to the Blue Note, to see Willie Nelson....they all know that I'm a big Willie fan...and Lee likes him also. It was pretty awesome. This summer, we went to the blue note, to see Kirk perform in "Rocky Horror Picture Show"...a stage production. That was pretty funny also....no doubt! Moriah called me from school this morning, and said that she may just spend the night at Kristen's depending on when the concert is over. She's suppose to call me and let me know for sure.
Well, guess this has turned into a pretty lengthly email...guess I'll call it quits. My pizza will be done in a sec anyway.
Hope you all have a great day, and a wonderful weekend coming up. I'm definately ready for the weekend...as I always am!
HAVE A GOOD ONE!
Much love,
Lev

In Ottawa we call it Remembrance Day ,the ceremony take place at Confederation Square in centretown of our city it is very emotional . Marcel .
I was really enjoying reading about your father,but the music teared me up so much I have to go.
God Bless for hounouring veterans,my father(Canadian,fought from 39 in Africa,right through to liberating the death camps in Poland in 45.Stayed as Peace keeper in occupied Germany until 46.Seven years! Volunteered the minute Germany invaded Poland in Sept 39,when the war really started.Wounded 5 times,perhaps someone like your father treated him.Wars are not won by fighting men alone,support for them is crucial.I am proud of my Dad,and yours as well.God Bless.
