Hi!

Today's Question(s):

Do any of our QOTD family have immediate family who have or are serving in the Military ?
not really "immediate" family -- but have 3 nieces in the Navy.

Bonus Question:

Are any of our QOTD family off today ?
No

Are schools in your town open or closed ? No idea.

Will there be a Veterans Day parade in your town ? Not that I am aware of - I work out of our small town so often don't know what is going on here.

Extra Credit Question:


Do you have a "pet name" (nickname) you call your spouse/SO/partner ? Dear. It used to be something else but over the years my sarcastic "Yes, Dear" or "No, Dear" stuck!

Do they have one for you ? None that he calls me to my face! lol


Just Curious Question:


Is anyone Not having Turkey for Thanksgiving ? No.

Today is:
National Sundae Day Hot Fudge with pecans please
Air Day We should appreciate the air everyday! We wouldn't be alive without it!
Route 66 Day DH and I would like to take a motorcycle trip on this.
Telescope Day
Veterans Day THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU


Last year we rode the motorcycles out to Gettysburg, PA. This year we rode to Yellowstone National Park. I am pretty proud that I was able to put 6,000 miles on my bike this year. Would be more if the weather would cooperate but it is that awful time of year where they need to be put away for the winter.

Have a great day!
