I remember what we were doing that day, and everybody I talk to can remember.  We sat stunned as we watched on TV, and my eyes welled up with tears thinking about those poor innocent people on the airplanes. After the plane crashed into the Pentagon, reality set in that our country was under attack. I called our daughter who was in college over 150 miles away. We all were praying for God’s protection! We wanted our family all together, so we went and picked up our son and headed out to see our daughter. All people could think about was how this awful event would affect the families of the victims, affect our lives, and affect our country.

We still have a minivan that we had back then. During the week of 9-11, someone tied red, blue, and white ribbons on my antennae. The faded remains are now just little short shreds of ribbons, but I have left them on there to always be a reminder of that day!

#1. Egg salad or deviled eggs. How do you prepare?

I haven’t made either of those in ages.  In the past, I made deviled eggs more than I made egg salad.  I would just boil the eggs, scoop out the yokes and mix with mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, and a little pickle juice.
#2. French fries. Do you make homemade or frozen?

Neither.  I used to do both, but now we only have french fries occassionally when we eat out somewhere.
#3. Gravy. What do you use – homemade, jar, can or from a package?

We rarely have gravy, mostly on holidays, and I’m not the one who makes the gravy.  I used to make it from a jar, can, or package, and sometimes I would make it from scratch using broth with the fat skimmed off, flour or cornstarch, salt, and pepper.

(I loved my mother’s giblet gravy she would make at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  She would use the drippings off the turkey, thicken it, add giblets and chopped hard-boiled eggs.  So good!!  My mother passed away in 2000, so I haven’t had her gravy in 10 or more years.)
#4. Share a recipe for a hot (temperature, not spice) dish.

Today is on most people’s minds as being the 7th anniversary of that horrible day when so many innocent men, women, and even children lost their lives due to the hatred of the terrorists. Many of us are praying today for the families and friends who lost loved ones on that horrific day, and not just today but everyday there are people praying for them. If you haven’t already, please say a prayer for those affected by this tragedy, for our country, and also for the terrorists!

When it’s time to clean house, there’s nothing worse than having a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t clean well. And if someone suffers from allergies, then it is very important not only to vacuum often but also not to spread allergens into the air.  The Allergies Buyers Club has all sorts of HEPA vacuum cleaners which trap allergens, something so important for allergy sufferers.  These vaccuum cleaners will help sufferers to have a clean, healthy home with reduced allergens.

I hear a lot on the radio about Lasik, and it is apparently becoming a well-known procedure.  Laser Eye Center offers the latest technology to treat nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.  Soon after surgery, most patients notice a big improvement in their vision.  It has become a popular procedure because of the quick recovery time and fewer complications, and over 100,000 people have used Laser Eye Center.  They must be doing something right.
