HAPPY GRANDPARENTS DAY! "Grandparents, like heroes, are as necessary to a child's growth as vitamins."... Joyce Allston National Grandparents Day is celebrated annually on the first Sunday after Labor Day in the United States. So in 2024, that's today, September 8th. Established in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter, the National Grandparents Day honors the vital role grandparents play in families and society. Today's the day to recognize their wisdom, love, and contributions to the lives of younger generations. Grandparents often serve as caregivers, mentors, and historians, passing down traditions, values, and stories that shape family legacies. Wishing all my fellow grandparents and great-grandparents, as well as honorary grandparents, a very happy Grandparents Day and a day filled with ... 09/08/2024

September 11, 2001: Let Us Never Forget Those Who Sacrificed...Let Us Honor & Remember Them "September 11 is one of our worst days, but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for."Senator Lamar Alexander 23 years have passed since that horrific day on September 11th, 2001. Even after 23 years it always stuns me that I can still remember that day as if it was yesterday and not more than two decades ago. September 11th, 2001 is a day that fundamentally changed all of our lives.

And many of those changes became the "new normal" for us. 9/11 is the Pearl ... 09/11/2024

 SEPTEMBER MIGHT BE HERE, BUT THERE'S STILL TIME TO ENJOY THE LAST DAYS OF SUMMER!  “The tans will fade but the memories will last forever." ... Unknown   Are you wondering, like I am, where the summer has gone? It feels as if summer simply flew by this year. Someone (unknown) said “summer should get a speeding ticket.” I totally agree with this sentiment! Even in Charlotte, where we will still be seeing summer-like weather for some weeks to come, you can already see the early signs of autumn with brown leaves dropping off the trees. Plenty of those leaves are on my front lawn and more of them with each passing day.  “A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer’s wave goodbye.”...
