I am in the process of reviving my blog, which has been dormant for quite some time now. I still have my virtual assistant business alongside my full-time job, as well as a couple of direct marketing business with Tastefully Simple and Magnabilities. My blog moving forward will consist of my work and businesses and just what happens in life. There is so much to talk about, put down in writing, journal. I think I will start by updating my blog journal and see where this takes me.

Chili's Night Out
We went to dinner at Chili's in San Bernardino this evening in support of the fundraiser for the city Animal Shelter.
Hopefully, this will help to kick-start future funding events to update the shelter, which is in need of a complete overhaul.
My neighbor, who is a general contractor, won a bid to work on one of the old facilities. Our neighbor just got his contractor's license and has been looking for work, so this goes to show that the bid process works, if you apply it. Thank you, city officials for hiring local people.

Veteran's Day Holiday
Veterans Day - November 11th
Veterans Day originally was held every November 11th, and though it typically falls on this day, officially the holiday is now observed on the weekday that falls closest to November 11th every year. It was first incorporated as by President Wilson as Armistice Day in 1919. Other countries today also still recognize November 11th as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in honor of the Armistice treaty which ended WWI.
It was in 1938 that Armistice Day was enacted as an official American holiday. But eventually after WWII, citizens felt that the veterans of all wars should be recognized, not just those of WWI. So in 1954 Congress changed the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. In America, the holiday now celebrates the approximate 2.9 million U.S. veterans with parades and ceremonies among other events.
