Patriot Day - A Remembrance of 9-11
The newsletter today comes out on a poignant day and it's one I don't want anyone to forget. So I'm taking this time to remember...
Where were you at 8:45 am ET, September 11, 2011?
Were you going to work, in school, or having breakfast on that fateful day? As we as a country and a world remember 9/11 let’s not ever forget what happened. Many years have gone by since then, but I can’t help but get a chill and tear up as I remember that day.
No, I wasn’t at the Twin Towers, I didn’t live in New York, or know anyone at the Pentagon. I didn’t know anyone that died. But, to me, a mother with three small children it was a pivotal turning point in realizing the world would not be the same.
I’m sure it was the same feeling my parents had when they first heard of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The world and their lives were never the same.
Remembering 9-11
For me, it was a morning like every other. I was getting ready for work and paused to get on the computer and check my email. In the background, the TV was tuned to Good Morning America. I glanced at the TV just in time to catch breaking news right after the first plane hit. My heart stopped when I watched the second plane live and I felt as though I couldn’t breathe.
I went to work at Oxbow Pet Products and we huddled around a small TV we brought into the office. The phones were silent. No calls were coming in, no orders being placed. Nothing mattered. No one wanted to go home, we cried silently at what this meant as the towers fell.
Planes were grounded, and then news of the Pentagon. What was next? After lunch, we silently shut off the phones, closed the doors and went home to hug our families.
Since then the Strategic Air Museum in Ashland Nebraska has a program to recognize the day. In the past, they have placed 3000 flags as a memorial on the lawn. On each flag is the name of each person who died that day. As the sunlight streamed in from the east, I couldn’t help but think of that day and where I was, when the World Stopped Turning.
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
So where were you on that day? What do you not want to forget?

“Certain cover crops, like radishes, clover, and vetches, help build healthy soil and provide blooming forage to increase pollinator potential,” Bailey said.

This event is hosted by the Center for Rural Affairs and made possible by funding from a Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Lions Club Peaches
What did you do with the Lions Club peaches you picked up?
I made a couple of peach pies, two batches of peach jam, peach cake, and sliced and made peaches and cream for my Mother in Law twice. The rest I sliced and put in the freezer for future peach pies and cobbler.
