October Flies By, Hello November

Another month has flown by, and as usual, we wonder, "Where did it go?" So here is something to consider: There are three days we should be concerned about. Two of those days we can do nothing about, yesterday and tomorrow. Yesterday is a canceled check, and tomorrow is a promissory note, but today is cash, ready to be spent on living; so wake up, rejoice and take advantage of this fresh start. There are no mistakes, nothing has happened, and nobody has goofed it up. We've got today, and we've got another chance!

So suddenly, it's November and it is family stories month, family care givers, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, lung cancer awareness, healthy skin, sleep comfort, adoption, aviation history, Hospice, Georgia pecan, butter loves, vegan, American Indian heritage, and Veterans in the classroom month. Veterans Day is Nov. 11, and of course, there's Thanksgiving, Nov. 23.

Also, remember Sunday, Nov. 5, when we set our clocks back. I really think that if it was put to a vote, we wouldn't change the clock twice a year. Everyone I've heard comment says just leave it one way or the other. As an old Indian said, "Cut off one end of blanket and sew to other end, blanket same long."

More than 20 youngsters enjoyed the hay ride from Sugar Hill Church Saturday evening. Also taking part were many older "youngsters." After the hay ride, they were all ready for the wiener roast and the many other "goodies" to eat. Even the weather cooperated and the rain held off until later.

Happy birthday to Doug Moore, Carolyn Latta, Kevin McGarrah, Bill Wright, Chad Myers, Johnny Cheatham, Cheryl Taylor, Leo Bradley, Matt Pinkerton.

Happy anniversary to Darrel and Eloise Parker, Wayne and Aleta Caswell.

A very special greeting to Roy Rich, who celebrates his 101st birthday, Nov. 2.

Happy years, all!
