The day before veterans Day I was invited over to a friend’s home who has a beautiful Vineyard. We shared a bottle of his wine that won North Carolina’s highest award. It was such a relaxing afternoon, and we went out to eat afterwards.

I entered the military 50 years ago 😬.  I enlisted to get my college paid for and  was stationed in Germany for almost 3 years. I pre-planned my Veterans Day freebies…breakfast at iHop, a hair trim at Great Clips, lunch at Applebee’s and dinner at Olive Garden.

I couldn’t eat all of it, but it was good, considering they are chain restaurants. I also had the first of four acupuncture sessions. I’ve had it before, but I’m having some chronic pain issues and hopefully it will help.
