I work for Blood Assurance, a regional blood bank serving 5 states located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Today was a regular employee blood drive and I did my part and donated some red blood cells to help my neighbors. It’s always good to do this. It makes a difference. Donate if you can whenever you can.

Today we went with our friends John and Connie to Murphy, North Carolina to see the fall colors in the trees and to explore. Well the fall colors weren’t happening due to the drought conditions we are having in the region. However we did explore a very charming town with a great assortment of things to see and do. It was a great day of getting out and going to a state I hadn’t been to in 17 years.
