Our family has long planned a repeat trip to the Chattanooga Aquarium to take our grandson back. We took him to the aquarium a few months ago and he loved it. This trip we will have more time and be able to see more than we did on our first trip. The first time we had to rush to see as much as we could before they closed up for the night. This time we will leave earlier and take our time and have a way more relaxed time. That will be a lot more fun and I can not wait for this trip it will be a blast for this old man.

Today is my baby sisters birthday and I wanted to wish her a big happy birthday. We grew up in a very poor but loving family and birthdays meant a cake and a hug most years. I have tried to make every birthday special for everyone in my family and I am sending my sister a gift certificate to Outback I know that she loves to eat there but never goes because money is tight so I know she will appreciate the gift card. i love my sister and want her to have a very nice birthday.

Veterans day is a big holiday to me and my family, my father was killed in Vietnam and I have learned over the years the great agony that the families of service men suffer. I have marched in a Veterans Day Parade since I was 4 years old and I see no reason not to continue this tradition. My Dad would be proud that his daughter shows her support for the troops and for the veterans that fought in wars gone by.
