November is Native American Heritage Month

1 Comment

In August, we went to Montana to visit family who live on the Flathead Reservation of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes. The Pend d’Oreilles also call this land their home. It heightened my awareness of the Native American culture and contributions to the nation. November is Native American Heritage Month. It is a right and just thing to recognize this special time of recognizing and celebrating the ancient and proud peoples that called this land home well before Europeans. They have sacrificed much past and present, and their history is an important part of world history.

It’s Time To Fall Back To Standard Time

On Sun, Nov 2, 2025 don’t forget to set your clocks back to standard time. I hate moving the clocks back and forward, but in this case “gaining an extra hour of sleep” is not a bad thing.

Happy Halloween everyone. May this be a day of fewer tricks and more treats. Have fun and be safe no matter how you celebrate this day of ghouls and goblins and other things that go bump in the night. May all souls celebrate today.

Something Sweet From Work

I think candy corn gets a bad rap. My workplace handed out this little pouch of candy corn in advance of Halloween. It is appreciated. How sweet of them.
