Friday Fun facts! Tomatoes - Each American eats approximately 22 pounds of tomatoes yearly. Over 1/2 of the tomato consumption is in the form of ketchup and tomato sauce.
Did you know that in the United States, Farmers use 1.5 billion pounds of pesticides and that these pesticides end up in about 1/2 the food we eat? Why? Only about 1 percent of food shipments in the US are tested for pesticides..Kind of scary, isn't it? Some Apple Growers use 24 different types of pesticides on apples!
Did you know that cabbage is 91 percent water?
I'm so happy it is Friday today and because tomorrow is Remembrance Day we are closed!! YEAH!! On that note I would like to remind everyone that they should take that moment of silence tomorrow at 11:00!! And think of all the young men and women fighting over seas for our freedom while we sit at home and carry on with life with little to no worries. I am so thankful that no one in my family is over seas and I feel bad for all the mothers, sisters and wifes that have family in the war and sit here worried if their loved ones will even make it home!
I plan on going for a really long walk tonight, I just feel like getting out side and doing something! Hopefully the dog can keep all her booties on this time! lol Don't have too much planned for this weekend. Tomorrow I am going to a Open House for Creative Memories ( a scrapbook supply place) It's like Partylite or Tupperware but for scrapbooking! Hopefully we will be able to clean up all the Halloween stuff on Sunday and I can start bringing out the Christmas decorations. Other then that..... not too much is planned for this weekend. Don't forget to take a couple minutes out of your busy day tomorrow to give a little respect to everyone who is or has faught in the war.
