ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

NOVEMBER 4TH,  2012

If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side

It's  SUNDAY!  

FALL BACK DAY

Today is Fall Back day, a day to back clocks up one hour to standard time. 

I hope you all enjoyed an extra hour of sleep before waking up this Sunday morning, With the clocks turned back, it will be lighter, or at least less dark, in the morning, but darkness will fall earlier in the evening.

The days are getting shorter, as we approach the Winter Solstice, or shortest day of the year, set for December 21.

Daylight Saving Time will return on Sunday, March 10, 2013, when we'll switch our clocks ahead an hour, springing forward into the longer and warmer days.

The clocks may go back but we move forward in hope

NEWS FROM HOME

Change always comes bearing gifts.  

Price Pritchett

They say you can't bring back the past but today, we do just that.  We get one hour back that we lost last Spring.

I don't know about you, but I can always use an extra hour.

I've got somethings yet to do around here too preparing for Thanksgiving.  I already purchased my turkey and it is snug in the freezer just waiting to be brought out and enjoyed.  I found a really good sale last week so I went ahead and got it.  It wasn't an easy thing to do, but I got it in the freezer.

Thanksgiving is just under three weeks away! It is a good idea to start thinking now about what recipes have worked for your Thanksgiving dinners in the past and what recipes are such parts of your tradition that you wouldn’t even think of having Thanksgiving without them. 

DDIL#5 is still in the hospital and hopes to know more today on the tests as far as if she'll be coming home or staying till the baby is born.  

Today's pictures are of our little celebration for Halloween.

Have a relaxing and restful Sunday everyone!  Monday will be here before we know it.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

To everything there is a season, and time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 

The Bible

PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS

Please pray for God's protection of

our troops and HIS wisdom for their

commanders.

Lord, hold our troops in

your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the

selfless acts they perform for us

in our time of need. I ask this in the

name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters

and Paramedics and EMT's

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

COUNTING THE DAYS

In spring when maple buds are red,
We turn the clock an hour ahead;
Which means, each April that arrives,
We lose an hour out of our lives.

Who cares? When autumn birds in flocks
Fly southward, back we turn the clocks,
And so regain a lovely thing
That missing hour we lost in spring.

Phyllis McGinley, Daylight Savings Time
