Do you have ceremonies/celebrations to go to?

I confess that I don’t know that much about these holidays or how they’re celebrated. :)

But I do #standwithisrael!!

[luvie]

Good tune. It should be our theme song! :)

CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides," remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, which is a day of fasting and repentance for the year’s sins.

There is a nice dinner the night before, fasting and services the next day, and a meal to break the fast the next sunset. It is the holiest day on the Jewish calendar and not a day for music lessons! :-)

A Blessed, and Holy Day to our Jewish FRiends!

None of us rule the world.

Evening Lauren, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, ML...((HUGS))...and I’m even later.

I got slammed at work today. I just got home and have a couple more hours of pretty easy homework.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, even with the Terrible Tuesday kid.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Tuesday morning to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

((HUGS))Good morning, Ladies. Thanks for this morning's thread, Lauren. How's it going?

Terrible Tuesday has been reprieved due to the Holiday. :-)

A Good Morning To The Canteen
Thank you for an interesting road trip, lauren.
(((HUGS)))
I Wish You All A Beautiful Day

[luvie]

...and yet....
You do know the definition of insanity...right? LOL!
Anyhooooo....another warm day in the 80s here.
Sunshine and light breezes...how boring!
Hope all of you are getting some fall weather!
Summer has been way too long.
However....I'm sure not ready for ~~shudder~~Christmas!
That is my recurring nightmare!
Y'all have a Terrific Tuesday!
(((((hugs))))

The Lincoln Assassins were tried and hung at Ft. McNair in 1865. But it was called “The Washington Arsenal” then, because there was a bullet making facility on the post. Also, the photo showing President Lincoln testing a Gatling Gun was taken on the post.
