You can learn a good lesson from this story, check your pockets before you give any clothing away for a good cause, An 80 year old man did just that when he accidently gave away his life savings of $13,000 that was sewed in the lining of one of his suits, the very sad news is that his wife has stage 4 Cancer and he was going to use that money to care for his wife, he is appealing to try and get that money back, sure hope he does! God Bless him & his wife.
Can you believe Christmas is less than a month away? It's time to dig out those favorite Christmas shows on DVD or check them out all over TV with a great family oriented network like ABC Family, they always have their 25 days countdown to Christmas with great family shows!
This past Saturday the temperature was around 70 and seems like everyone was out with their ladders putting up their Christmas lights and decorations and every year it has become a Horn family tradition the whole family piles in the car and cruise neighborhoods looking at Christmas lights, and one neighborhood we never miss is a home off of Highway 54 in Owensboro, I was lucky enough to find a video to share with you, this home would definately give Clark Griswold from the movie "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" a run for his money LOL.

The day after Thanksgiving, also known as "Black Friday," is when a lot of stores open at midnight. It officially kicks off the Christmas shopping season and all the major stores give the public incredible deals on just about everything from toys to electronics and more! I've never participated in Black Friday and this video highlights why I stay home. For all those who plan on braving the traffic (both on the road and in stores) please be courteous to your fellow man, woman and child. Have a great (and safe) shopping (or sitting on the coach watching television) experience!
Yesterday was an exciting Nascar race you didn't know until the checkered flag who was going to win The Sprint Cup Series Championship between Carl Edwards & Tony Stewart. They were tied in points at the few remaining laps, after another rain-delayed caution with roughly 50 laps to go. Tony Stewart stayed out front the rest of the laps and bringing home his 3rd championship title at over 5 million dollars...Way to go "Smoke"

I was just watching some videos of the meaning of 11-11, its kinda of chilling how alot of events in history equals up to 11. Some good, some very bad like 9-11. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11 you need to check out the video to see what I mean. Today is also Veterans Day, a day to honor the service men & women who has made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms. God Bless America!
