Happy Birthday Pops!

Happy Birthday Pops!

Today is your birthday and I wanted to do something a little different for you. So, here are some songs from when you were growing up, one I know that is especially a favorite of yours, and then a fun 'Happy Birthday' at the end.

Enjoy and Have a great Day!

Love you Pops!

An "Experience(d)" Good-Bye

Mitch Mitchell, the remaining member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience trio, died early this morning in Oregon. He was 61. Mitch played the drums for the trio and the group had an excellent, unique sound.

Bassist Noel Redding died in 2003 and Jimi, of course, died in 1970.

They will all be missed.

Veteran's Day

Today is Veteran's Day. In Canada, its called Rememberance Day. Its also known as Armistice Day for the end of WWI (1918).

Today, you should pause and remember those who have served our country before now; those who are serving now; and those who will serve in the future. You should remember the living and the dead.

Most of all, you should pause and remember what these veterans did for you and for me. For the freedom that they fought, and died, for here in our country and overseas. You should say a prayer for all of them, but especially for those who are serving now.

And remember, thank a veteran today. Thank him or her for their service and ask that God will bless them.

May God Bless this Great Nation! And God Bless our Veterans!
