Never Forget

Remember to “never forget” this Thursday which marks the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 Attack on the America.

We cannot dwell on the negative and we must go on with our lives. But let us never forget the fateful day in which heroes were made, lives were lost and America was changed forever.

I searched the Internet and my local newspaper the Reno Journal Gazette for “Never Forget” rallies or memorial services for the upcoming anniversary of September 11, here in the Greater Reno-Tahoe area. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything posted in either the newspaper or on the Internet.  There may or may not be organized “Never Forget” memorials in your area but we can demonstrate our committment to “never forget” in any of the following ways:

• Fly the flag: place a flag in front of your home or business. Place a car flag on your antenna or a flag decal on your rear window or bumper.
• Light a candle: place a lighted candle in a window which faces your street. 
• Remember with silence: at 8:45 a.m., take just a moment to be silent and remember.
• Access one of the links below Monday through Thursday
• Share the links below (or this blog)  with family and friends

To The Working Man – Thank You

Whether high or low on the pay scale, the working man is the backbone of this Country.

The Greater Reno-Tahoe area, like all towns and cities in the nation, would not be what it is today without those who are willing to put their “hand to the till”.

Because of the working man and woman, the people who truly make the visionary’s dream possible, I live in an area that has made numerous “Best Cities” list.

We are all inter-dependent on one another and without you, the “working man”, there would not be a real estate industry. Because of those willing to labor and make the Reno area one of the most livable cities in the nation, I am able to meet the needs of those who come to live and work in our beautiful community.

So, from one working woman to all the working men and women of this country, and the Reno area in particular, I want to say thank you for all you do to make my life easier and enjoyable.

 A toast and a song to all the working men and women of America.

I think the Country Western Group Alabama expresses what I am trying to say in their song: Forty Hour Week (For a Livin’)
