From http://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/all-saints-day:
All Saints' Day is a celebration of all Christian saints,
particularly those who have no special feast days of their own, in many
Roman Catholic, Anglican and Protestant churches. In many western
churches it is annually held November 1 and in many eastern churches it
is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost. It is also known as
All Hallows Tide, All-Hallomas, or All Hallows' Day.What do people do?All Saints' Day is observed by Christians in many countries around the world. In countries such as Spain, Portugal and Mexico, offerings are made on this day. In countries such as Belgium, Hungary and Italy people bring flowers to the graves of dead relatives. In other parts of Europe, such as Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Romania, it is customary to light candles on top of visiting graves of deceased relatives. It is also observed in parts of Asia, such as the Philippines, where people visit graves of deceased relatives and clean or repair them. They also lay flowers on the graves and light candles. In France church services in memory of all the saints are held on November 1 but by the evening the focus turns towards the dead. Cemeteries everywhere are crowded with people who come to clean and decorate family graves. All Saints' Day is closely tied with All Souls' Day, held on November 2, which is dedicated to prayers of the dead who are not yet glorified. ... It is not a nationwide public holiday in countries such as Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States. However, many Christians observe All Saints’ Day in these and other countries.

The liturgical color is white on All Saints' Day... |

Carol,
I just published a book about my
experiences ballroom dancing all over the world, and trying to
influence guys to see what they are missing by not dancing. I am
attaching the cover art and a blurb I have been emailing friends
who may want to buy a copy. Perhaps some old NNHS classmates of
mine might be interested. Keep up your good work, and here's the
blurb:
I am excited to announce that my book, Become a Man of Confi-Dance, has been published and made available for sale. The paperback version ($15.99 - $19.99) and the hard cover version ($29.99) are both available through www.amazon.com, www.xlibris.com, and www.barnesandnoble.com plus the cost of shipping. You can also download a kindle or nook ebook for $3.99. However, if you would like a signed paperback copy directly from me, send a check for $20 to: Raoul Weinstein, 12 Isbell Lane, Greenville, SC 29607. The shipping is included. |

You can go to www.amazon.com and pull up the book and review the first couple of chapters if you’d like before making a decision. Makes a great holiday gift for your significant other, or a father, son, brother, uncle, or nephew in need of, or ready for, a change in their (social) life. WOWZERONI-RINI! How exciting! Thank you so much, Raoul! We wish you much success with it, and have posted this on TYPHOONMART to help with that: http://www.nnhs65.com/TYPHOONMART.html By the
way, I read those first couple of chapters, and found them fascinating!

10/31/12 - "Navy Day and Birthdays":
| Hi Carol... PLEASE tell Wayne not to worry about these little things. When whatever President decided to change Navy Day from October 27, to the official birthday of the USN, I didn't take it personal ! I just looked at my husband of 30 years, a former Navel Officer, and now for us every day is Navy Day ! Dimples
GIGGLES!
Amen to that! Thanks, Dimples!

From My Husband, Paul Harty (Bardolph HS, IL - '61) of
NC - 10/31/12:
| Carol, As you know, when I was working as an Outreach Counselor during the flood of 1993 in Illinois, I had a first hand glimpse of various charities designed to help people involved in tragic circumstances. I was one of the very first people to enter the flood zone, however, the Salvation Army was already there, serving hot meals three times a day, providing coffee, water, and drinks to those in need, etc. They also had clean up items like brooms, mops, sponges, gloves, etc. In addition they had cash available for emergencies, new clothes and used clothing, and just about everything that the people needed. They also had boats to take people that were isolated to their jobs, to receive assistance, and they took food and water to all of those stranded individuals too. They were proactive and went to the people in need. The Red Cross set up centers quite a distance from the flood zone, but did provide a lot of assistance, Their program was more like typical social service agencies in that they waited for people to find them and did not go into the flood zones. In my opinion, the Salvation Army does more to assist in time of crisis than any other organization, including the government programs, and they do provide services on a smaller budget, with people who care for others more than huge incomes. The Red Cross is the next best emergency provider and all of the rest are way down on the list, including government services. These are my personal observations on a specific emergency, but I suspect that they would fit all emergencies.
Thanks so much, Haul Party!

From My Niece, Shari, of VA - 10/31/12 - "One Halloween":
|
One Halloween a man was
walking down the street and heard a thumping noise behind him.
Looking behind him he saw a coffin following him, upright. He was a
bit nervous and began walking a little bit faster.
The coffin continued, "thumpety thump,
thumpety thump". He began running and the coffin kept up and began
opening and closing, ""thumpety thump, thumpety thump clap, "thumpety
thump, thumpety thump clap".
Terrified he ran to his front door, and went inside, slamming the
door and locking it. The coffin continued, "thumpety thump, thumpety
thump - CRASH" it came right through the door, He ran up the stairs,
and right behind him, "thumpety thump, thumpety thump clap, "thumpety
thump, thumpety thump clap".
He rushed into the bathroom and slammed the
door, but the coffin broke through the door - "thumpety thump,
thumpety thump crash". Terrified the man grabbed the first thing he
could, a bottle of Robitussin
and threw it - and the coffin stopped!

cream color allows you to wear it with any outfit and makes it suitable
for any time of year. This crochet shawl pattern looks great with a pair
of pants and a nice blouse, or you can wear it to a nice evening out on
the town." http://www.favecrafts.com/Crochet-for-Baby/Easy-One-Ball-Baby-Blanket-and-Hat-Set-from-Red-Heart-Yarn - Marianne Forrestal's One Ball Baby Blanket and Hat - "Using one ball of yarn you can make a baby blanket and hat set.

BONUS RECIPES: |
http://www.bigredkitchen.com/2012/02/mason-jar-self-buttering-biscuits/ - Robin Sue's Mason Jar Self-Buttering Biscuits - "Your mouth will be watering after one smell of these Mason Jar Self-Buttering Biscuits. Recipes in a jar could not get any easier than this. Just butter the insides of the jars and fill them with biscuit batter to make these flaky treats. These biscuits would go great with a delicious brunch spread." http://www.bigredkitchen.com/2010/12/advent-day-13-pool-of-butter-biscuits/ - Robin Sue's Pool of Butter Biscuits - "The thing about biscuits that I do not like is rolling them out- such a big mess- flour everywhere. Although thekitchn rolls theirs out, I figured I could simply spread the dough out in the dish over that big pool of melted butter. You see, in this recipe you do not cut the butter into the biscuit dough, you melt it in the dish then bake the biscuits in that golden pool of goodness." http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2008/09/apple-dumplings.html - The Best Apple Dumplings by The Pioneer Woman via Christy - "Have you ever heard of a dessert dumpling made with Mountain Dew? It sounds crazy, we know, but these Easy Apple Dumplings have an unforgettable flavor that say otherwise. Made with cinnamon and sugar, and baked until they are golden brown, you have to try them with vanilla ice cream to get the full experience. Enjoy!" |

For all the saints
who from their labors rest,
Who thee by faith
before the world confessed.
Thy name, O Jesus,
be forever blest.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Thou wast their Rock,
their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their captain
in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear,
their one true light.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
O may Thy soldiers,
faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints
who nobly fought of old,
And win with them
the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce,
the warfare long,
Steals on the ear
the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again,
and arms are strong.
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
From earth's wide bounds,
from ocean's farthest coast,
Thro' gates of pearl
streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia!
Alleluia!
