I know Memorial Day is about remembering and thanking fallen soldiers. But I want to take a minute to recognize the family members whose lives are also affected. Thank you for your sacrifices to support your loved ones!
4 weeks ago Memorial Day is a day to remember those that have fought, and died, for the very rights we have today.

Here are some area events to remember what Memorial Day is truly all about...
4 weeks ago My dad passed away a couple of years ago a the tender age of 95, and is now buried in the veteran's memorial cemetery in Caribou, Maine. He served his country in the Navy as a Sea Bee, and managed to survive the war--many didn't
Make room for Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift and Keith Urban.

A very special dance and auction will be held at Happy Acres in Alton next month to benefit local musician Jessi Mallory. Although Jessi and I have never met, I am a fan of her music that I've sampled online. She is an extremely talented singer, songwriter, musician, and Elvis Tribute artist!
4 weeks ago We've all been burned by high gas prices so many times that any and all excuses for price hikes just before a holiday weekend are just plain ridiculous and laughable. And it looks like we need to top off the tank quickly to save a bit of money, as the Memorial Day Weekend is almost upon us

The folks at Kmart are at it again, using a play on words to get their point across. And it's hilarious! Big Gas Savings.....say that fast. Yep. That's what the commercial is about!
Personally, the only thing I want to do with chocolate is eat it! But a chocolate factory in Melbourne, Australia has figured out a way to make one of the coolest optical illusions I've ever seen, using chocolate and strobe lights. Awesome!
