We are at a Christian school and did not take the day off, but we did put on a school wide program honoring the veterans and then serving them brunch. Afterward I had to explain to my class why all of the teachers and parents were crying, especially while the veterans stood up and told stories about their service. It was very moving. <br />DawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-24028838708821652232011-11-12T12:32:20.029-08:002011-11-12T12:32:20.029-08:00On 11/11/11 I planted tulip bulbs and stacked fire...On 11/11/11 I planted tulip bulbs and stacked firewood.

Take them to Les Schwab and have them put the studded tires on your newly purchased wheels. Then, next winter, all you have to do is jack up your car at your home, and put on your studded tires yourself. I only know all this because that is what my son did for me.

He has paralyzed back legs but now gets around with a wheelchair,(see photos here: https://picasaweb.google.com/essellhaynes/BaronSWalkinWheels).<br /><br />All in all though, maybe it would be a good idea to invest in a floor jack and a four way lug wrench so that the wheels could be changed out at home. It could save a lot of time, maybe an hour as opposed to five or seven hours.S. L.

She retired early to care for her husband, who did pass away 9 years ago. Because of "interesting" rules regarding pensions and social security, she had to return to work. At age 69 she still works even though her health is not good. Since she has no central heating system, just a fireplace and electric space heaters, those of us who are able help get her set for winter. Since her late husband was a veteran, I think it was an appropriate way to spend the day since I didn't have to work myself today. Where we live in Southern California, it gets down to freezing temperatures, and we do occasionally get snow. It was a blessing to fix it so she can be warm.Linda in SoCalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-18564725771818619862011-11-11T20:43:13.369-08:002011-11-11T20:43:13.369-08:00Hey, you guys.
