Happy Thanksgiving!

I did a little research on the history of Thanksgiving in the
United States and wanted to share it with you…

In 1817, New York was the first state to adopt Thanksgiving
as an official holiday.

By the time the Civil War erupted in the 1860’s, every state
had also made Thanksgiving a state holiday.

In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared a national day of
Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November.

Since that time, every president has issued a Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation every Thanksgiving, declaring it to be a national
day of thanks.

In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt declared that the
Thanksgiving would be on the third Thursday in November.

Congress approved that declaration two year later in 1941.

So what are your plans for this Thanksgiving day?
What are you grateful for?
Who are you grateful for?
What are your favorite foods on Thanksgiving?
What are your favorite desets for Thanksgiving?
Do you watch the parades on TV?

Go ahead and leave a comment about what you like or will be doing
on Thanksgiving….

At the very least, call somebody you haven’t talked to in a long
time. Tell them that you love them and let them know you were
thinkng about them…

Looks like Vickie and I will be having some people over…
We’ll be eatting, watching TV and Playing music!

But also know, on this day we will be saying a very special
prayer for all our friends.

We are grateful for your friendship.
We are grateful that you are in our life!

Peace, Many Blessings and Lot’s of Cash!
Robby

Hello People,

TGIF! Yes, Thank God it’s Friday! Yippee!

A freind of mine sent this to me a moment ago and I
thought you may also find it interesting.

But you have to act quick…

Here’s your chance to let the media know where the
people stand on our faith in God, as a nation.

NBC is taking a poll on “In God We Trust” to stay on our
American currency.

Please do it right away, before NBC takes this off the web page
 
Poll is still open so you can vote.

Hi Guys,

I got a call from the Dr. PHil Show!

Yup,that’s right!

Back June 25, 2008 I got a call from my good friend
and Olympic Trainer Scott Sanchez from Maui Hawaui.

He said Dr. Phil was looking for a few “BIG” guys from
Las Vegas that needed and wanted to lose weight, and
to be part of the Dr. Phil Weightloss Challenge Project.

Scott suggested that I apply for the show…
I’d get 6 weeks to totally focus on my health and
weight loss under the supervision trainers…

I auditioned and they called me the very next day saying
they were very interested in my being part of the upcoming
Dr Phil Show…

Are you in need of some Motivation and Inspiration?

Have you been watching the Olympic Games?
If not, you are missing some great stuff.

Think about it, once every 4 years the best of the best in
the world of sports get together to compete.

Some of these athletes have been training for 10-15-20
years to compete in an event that could last less than
60 seconds!

Can you imagine that?
Training most of your adult life to participate in an
event that last less than 60 seconds!

Every athlete competing had to overcome many obsticles
just to get the honor and opportunity to compete in Beijing.

It’s a long road just getting to the Olympic Games and then
additional obsticles once you have arrived here.

The opening ceremony was breath taking!

The open Ceremony had 7ft.6 inch basketball player Yao Ming
from China walked in with this small 9 year old boy from China…

Talk about inspiring…

Turns out this little boy was in the earth quake a few months
ago. Most of his fellow classmates had died during the quake.
After he clawed his way out of the rubble he went back to
pull out 2 of his fellow classmates.

A reporter asked the little boy why he went back into the
rubble? And he replied, “I’m a hall monitor at my school
and that’s my job, to help and protect the other classmates.”

Wow!
Is that inspiring or what!

Now as far as the games, it has been totally thrilling.

How about that Michael Phelps???

He won his first Gold for these games on Saturday…
Then last night, (Sunday) he was in the 4 man relay…

This was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen.
Vickie and I could’nt take our eyes off the TV screen.

The announcer was saying all night that France was going to win
and that the Americans really didn’t have a chance.

Surprise!
The USA won by .02 of a second!

Whatever country you are from, we love watching excellence at
this level. These people are the best of the best.

So during the course of your week, if you need a little
inspiration, turn on the TV and watch the Olympics!

Have a Great Day,
Robby LeBlanc
