It was a GREAT End of the Year Celebration for our FIL that took us to GOLF MIAMI in Miami Gardens! Multiple games were available …UNO, Tic-Tac-Toe, Playstation, Karaoke, BINGO and Putt-Putt. FIL tried out several games, but the motivation was to get the highest score on the simulated golf course. Winners were FIL Jordan and FIL ChristiaRose. The lunch was “fresh and wholesome”—-straight out Ms. Ebony’s kitchen—fresh burgers and sub sandwiches with chips and
beverages! An afternoon filled with Fun! Fun! Fun!

PERFECT TIMING
Are you ready to gain an hour when Daylight Saving Time returns to standard time?
Daylight Saving Time is an annual period when the United States and other countries change the clocks to extend daylight. In March, the clocks "spring forward" an hour, and in November, they "fall back."
In 2024, we'll return to standard time on Sunday, Nov. 3. The time change helps maximize natural daylight.
For many, it's good to wake up and feel like you got more sleep or to wake up earlier than usual. Hopefully, this will make you feel more rested.
Here are some common questions about Daylight Saving Time
Did the time change today?
Daylight Saving Time ends yearly at 2 a m on the first Sunday in November That means you should plan on resetting any microwave or regular clocks before going to bed on Nov 2 The time will change at 2 a m Who is in charge of Daylight Saving Time?
The U.S. Department of Transportation oversees the observance of daylight saving time, as well as U.S. time zones, according to transportation.gov. The DOT said energy reduction and reduced crime are reasons for having both standard and daylight saving time. Which states don't observe daylight saving time?
Arizona and Hawaii do not recognize daylight saving time, nor do territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Marianas.
It's not Daylight Savings Time
Some might refer to it as Daylight Savings Time, but it is Daylight Saving Time Just a tip for next time you search
