November 24th in history is rather interesting. I have a couple of books to display, and few stories to tell. The history will be chronological only to my age in the stories. I hope it is not too much for such a little space. November 24, 1932 the FBI Crime Lab (Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory)Continue reading “November 24 “books and stories crammed together like sardines””

November 23 “Cashew’re my favorite nut!”

Hope you enjoyContinue reading “November 23 “Cashew’re my favorite nut!””
November 22 “Trilogy of hate”
I have three examples of unjust events in the world that happened on this day in history. November 22nd, 1307, Pope Clement V issued the papal bull Pastoralis Praeeminentiae which instructed all Christian monarchs in Europe to arrest all Templars and seize their assets. Distrust with Knights Templars began with King Philip IV of France. Then the Pope.Continue reading “November 22 “Trilogy of hate””

If that wasn’t enough, there are two hundred recipes to make your bread dayContinue reading “November 17 “Leave nature like you found it””

Today, everyone should write a poem, a story, a letter, or a post card. Even a textContinue reading “November 15 “read, write, visit, and support””
