AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Amarillo's Country Barn Steakhouse Restaurant Building sold for $1.98 million Tuesday.
"There was a lot of community interest in this auction because the restaurant is such a landmark, but we weren't sure how this would translate into bids for the restaurant itself," said Spanky Assiter, founder and president of Assiter Auctioneers, which conducted the auction.
"We had a dozen live bidders, plus another nine Internet bidders. Folks came from all over Texas, and even one from Tennessee. Now we're shifting our focus to the Nov. 9 auction of the non-real estate assets, including the widely recognized cowboy in front of the restaurant. We have well over 600 items, including dozens of wall hangings, buffalo heads, furniture, vehicles, display cases and endless memorabilia. We will likely have folks equipping another restaurant, decorating a man cave or adding to a collection. You could really outfit a whole western museum with the items in the restaurant," said Assiter.
The seller of the restaurant was developer George Chapman, for whom Assiter recently sold the McLean Ranch for $16.79 million.
Individuals interested in additional information may visit assiter.com or call 806-655-3900.
Assiter Auctioneers, headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, has conducted more than 5,000 auctions throughout the United States and is the official auctioneer of Barrett-Jackson.

MA Transit Study Reveals Inadequate Transportation Options
A study released today says transportation options are inadequate for low-income residents in four Massachusetts cities. The study from Northeastern University's Dukakis Center surveyed 100 residents from Springfield's north end. Almost all of them said they rely on cars to get to grocery stores, school and work. But only 41-percent reported actually having a car. Stephanie Pollock is the associate director of the Dukakis Center.
"There's a lot of folks who rely on other people's cars as an important means of transportation. Because they can't afford their own car and the transit system doesn't take them where they need to go when they need to get there."
Out of the four Massachusetts cities surveyed, Springfield respondents reported the worst access to bus routes and the highest unemployment rate. Elsie Sanchez is the study's Springfield field organizer. She says most buses run from 8:30 to 6 -- that doesn't help many of residents she surveyed, including one man who used to work the night shift at the Holyoke Mall.
"He lost his job because he would find people to bring him sometimes but there were other times when people were not able to bring him. And he was walking from Holyoke to Springfield like four or five times he had to walk."
The transportation bill state lawmakers are debating could include a lot more money for transit agencies like the Pioneer Valley Transit Authority. Sanchez says extending the hours of existing bus routes would have the greatest impact on residents.

Most pet "parents" have been in a situation like this: Buster slipped on the way down the stairs and now he's walking with a limp. It's 11:00 at night should you call your veterinarian, or are you just being a worrywart?
If you're concerned about your pet, you should never feel embarrassed about calling a veterinarian. Veterinarians are used to emergencies and they prepare for them. Most veterinary hospitals have doctors on-call or provide referrals to emergency pet hospitals, so don't worry about waking your veterinarian out of a sound sleep. In fact, all AAHA-accredited hospitals are required to provide 24-hour access to emergency care, either in their own facility or through referral to another hospital. (To find an AAHA-accredited animal hospital near you, visit the Hospital Locator.)
Remember, you know your pet better than anyone else. If you notice your pet behaving in a way that's unusual for her, or if something just doesn't seem right, you may have picked up on a subtle sign of a real problem. To find out, you can call your veterinary hospital, or an emergency animal hospital near you. By asking a few questions over the phone, an emergency veterinarian should be able to tell you whether you should bring your pet in right away, or whether she can wait for an examination during your hospital's normal office hours. Even if you find out nothing's wrong, you'll be glad to have your mind at ease.
There are some times, however, when you won't need to call first. If you notice any of the following problems, bring your pet in immediately for emergency care.
Your pet has been experienced some kind of trauma, such as being hit by a car or a blunt object or falling more than a few feet.
If you notice any of the symptoms above or you suspect a serious problem, try to get directly in touch with a veterinary professional. Don't leave a voicemail or use the Internet or email.
Your first step is to call your veterinarian. All AAHA-accredited hospitals will either have someone answering the phone 24-hours a day or will have a recorded message referring you to another hospital in case of an emergency. If you're in an unfamiliar city, look in the phone book under "Veterinarians" and call the nearest emergency hospital.
Once you decide to bring your pet in for emergency treatment, make sure you know where you're going and how to get your pet there safely. If you have any questions about directions or how to move your ill or injured pet, call the hospital and ask
The best way to deal with pet emergencies is to prepare for them, just in case. The next time you bring your pet in for a checkup, ask your veterinarian what you should do in case of emergency. Find out whether your animal hospital is open 24 hours, or whether they refer emergency cases on evenings and weekends. If they refer, get the name, address, and phone number of the emergency facility they refer to.
Keep your veterinarian's name and number on an emergency sheet near the phone, right next to the numbers for your doctor, fire department, and poison-control hotline. If your veterinarian refers evening and weekend emergencies to another hospital, write down that hospital's name and number too, as well as what hours your doctor refers cases there. This way, if an emergency catches you off guard, you won't have to file through drawers or folders looking for business cards. You may also want to have a list of pet first aid tips easily accessible, along with guidelines for human first aid.
If you're taking your pet along on a trip, you can find AAHA-accredited hospitals in the area you'll be visiting by using the Hospital Locator.
Most important, remember to trust your instincts. You know and love your pet, and you have the right to be worried if something seems wrong. Emergency veterinary professionals are there for you, never hesitate to call.

Any Tetris Splash players here in this group? I've also got UNO, Boogie Bunnies, Fable II, Dance Central, Kinect Adventures, Castle Crashers, Bejeweled Blitz Live...working to get and try other games. Don't really have any shooter games like the ones mentioned. This looks interesting though, and I have a question is 38 too old? lol

Don't really have any shooter games like the ones mentioned. Castle Crashers is a popular game in the co-op board. I think it's probably safe to assume everyone owns UNO, it's a classic. A partner for most of the other games you mentioned can be found here. WldCosmicRain73: is 38 too old? lol No age is too old. ;)

How Lincoln Bested Douglas in Their Famous Debates
The 1858 debates reframed America's argument about slavery and transformed Lincoln into a presidential contender
- By Fergus M. Bordewich
- Smithsonian magazine, September 2008, Subscribe
In Freeport, Illinois, just beyond the somnolent downtown, a small park near the Pecatonica River is wedged next to the public library. In the mid-19th century, however, land along the shore stretched green into the distance, the grassy hills dotted with maples and river birches. It was here, on August 27, 1858, that U.S. senatorial candidates Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas waged a war of words.
"Imagine that you're there," says my guide, George Buss, stepping onto the four-foot-high concrete replica of a speaker's platform, installed here in 1992 to memorialize the debate. He places a hand on the head of the squat, life-size bronze sculpture of Douglas, who was a foot shorter than Lincoln. "Picture the banners, brass bands and parades...people pushing and shoving...kids running up to the comurthouse for sandwiches, where they're barbecuing an ox. Douglas is pacing back and forth like a lion. People in the back of the crowd are shouting, 'What'd he say? What'd he say?'"
At 6-foot-5 and with craggy features, deep-set eyes and gangly limbs, Buss, a Freeport school administrator, bears an eerie resemblance to the 16th president. Indeed, for 22 years, Buss has moonlighted as one of the nation's most accomplished Lincoln interpreters. As a schoolboy nearly 40 years ago, he got hooked on Honest Abe when he learned that one of the seven historic Lincoln-Douglas debates had taken place in his hometown.
Buss continues: "Lincoln stretches up onto his toes to make a point." He recites Lincoln's words: "Can the people of a United States territory, in any lawful way, against the wish of any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from its limits prior to the formation of a state constitution?" Looking into the distance, Buss repeats: "Just imagine that you're there."
Lincoln and incumbent senator Douglas squared off, of course, in the most famous debates in American history. The Illinois encounters would reshape the nation's bitter argument over slavery, transform Lincoln into a contender for the presidency two years later and set a standard for political discourse that has rarely been equaled. Today, the debates have achieved a mythic dimension, regarded as the ultimate exemplar of homegrown democracy, enacted by two larger-than-life political figures who brilliantly explicated the great issues of the day for gatherings of ordinary citizens.
Momentous issues were at stake. Would the vast western territories be opened to slavery? Would slavery insinuate itself into the states where it was now illegal? Had the founding fathers intended the nation to be half slave and half free? Did one group of states possess the right to dictate to another what was right and wrong? According to Tom Schwartz, Illinois' state historian, "each man was pretty plain in how he would deal with the major issue facing the nation: the expansion or elimination of slavery. These are still the gold standard of public discussion."
But while the debates have long been recognized as a benchmark in American political history, they are probably more celebrated than they are understood. It is indeed true that in the course of seven debates, two of the country's most skilled orators delivered memorably provocative, reasoned and (occasionally) morally elevated arguments on the most divisive issues of the day. What is less well-known, however, is that those debates also were characterized by substantial amounts of pandering, baseless accusation, outright racism and what we now call "spin." New research also suggests that Lincoln's powers of persuasion were far greater than historians previously realized. In our own day, as two dramatically different candidates for president clash across an ideological divide, the oratorical odyssey of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas may offer more than a few lessons—in the power of persuasive rhetoric, the effect of bigotry and the American public's craving for political leaders who are able to explain the great issues of the day with clarity and conviction.
Both then and now, the debates' impact was amplified by changing technology. In 1858, innovation was turning what would otherwise have been a local contest into one followed from Mississippi to Maine. Stenographers trained in shorthand recorded the candidates' words. Halfway through each debate, runners were handed the stenographers' notes; they raced for the next train to Chicago, converting shorthand into text during the journey and producing a transcript ready to be typeset and telegraphed to the rest of the country as soon as it arrived. "The combination of shorthand, the telegraph and the railroad changed everything," says Allen C. Guelzo, author of Lincoln and Douglas: The Debates That Defined America. "It was unprecedented. Lincoln and Douglas knew they were speaking to the whole nation. It was like JFK in 1960 coming to grips with the presence of the vast new television audience."

I am writing a paper on the significance of the Lincoln-Douglas....This article is very interesting and easy to follow!
Posted by Marren Jn.Pierre on November 14,2010 | 05:18 AM
Having grown up in Freeport, the Debate has been an element in what we school kids were given to represent it's history. This article gave me, for the very first time, a true sense of the time, the emotion and growing racial tensions. And, to some extent, I feel as though all those teachers really dropped the ball and as a result deprived me of a part of Freeport's heritage... the kind of things you take pride in and pass on to your children. It has also inspired me to continue researching the era. My city seems to have committed itself to going all out in commemorating this 150th Anniversary. Really enjoyed the article, well done!

Works well
These daily planner pages work well for me. They would be better with fewer "To Do" lines and more space for notes, but that is minor as I can add in note sheets. A good bargain if you can pick them up from the outlet.

Perfect day timer
Have used for 15 yrs. Incredibly useful. Perfect.
November 9, 2013
Great product
I am pleased with the quality and functionality of this product. It really helps with organization.
October 13, 2013
The Search is Over!
With the letter size monthly tabs and daily planner, and the customization of the Circa system, my search is over for the perfect planner! I work in IT, but I think and plan best with paper. The size and layout of this planner provides the room and functionality for me to list business and personal to-dos and track accomplishments with ease. With the flexibility to add in and move around other Circa project management and organization features, this is the complete planner/time management system for me!.
October 5, 2013
So far so good!
I just received this product but so far I really like the usability of it. It gives me room to write all my to do's for the day, where as the smart does not, but I bought the smart planner so I could have the months but I am using this product for my day to day. I don't like a week to week system, not enough room for all my daily tasks and meetings. I will be ordering the full year for this system. I started with just a few months to make sure it would work for me. So far so good!
September 21, 2013
I love this planner!
The Circa planner is extremely functional and fits all of my needs. I order it with the additional monthly tabs and fold-out calender. I like the 12-hour/day format and the room for notes on the facing page. I have used other brands of planners but like the Circa best, especially since I can use the other junior size page formats in the same notebook.
August 12, 2013
Really like the space and layout of the pages and I thought I would be okay having them broken into quarters and just added at the end of each quarter upcoming events in the later dates. However, now that I am using it I wish I had of opted for more days per page so the whole calendar year would fit into the daytimer. I do really like having all the space and the full page to write notes because I write way too much.
July 15, 2013
Too much & not enough
I use a compact agenda with the leather foldover cover. I like the compact size, which fits nicely in a pocket in my purse. I ordered this refill thinking that a daily 2-page spread was what I wanted, but the compact size just gets too thick if I add more than 2 months of pages. I also realized, now that I'm retired, that I don't need an hourly breakdown of my day. This would have been a great tool to use when I was working but a bit of overkill for me now. Other than appointments and a few scheduled events each month, my days are pretty much my own. I noticed that the refill set doesn't come with the monthly 2-page calendar, which I tend to use frequently. Perhaps this could be added or offered as an independent refill pack. As far as quality goes, I found the pages easy to read and the paper quality fine when using my favorite ballpoint pen.
January 29, 2013
Poor Paper Quality
I agree with other reviewers. The paper is a lot thinner than previous years. I move my pages around a lot, and don't think the punched edge will hold up to the wear and tear. I also noticed eraser marks will lift the lines/printing on the page. I do all my calendering in pencil and this creates problems. If these pages are "printed to order", I 'd like the opportunity to reorder them with heavier paper.
January 7, 2013
Downturn in Paper Quality
I've been using Levenger since 2009 and really enjoy the flexibility and versatility of the Circa system. I was disappointed this year when I put my new 2013 calender refills and noticed the paper quality went down from previous years. I use a fountain pen and my fountain pen runs on these pages, but never before. In a side-by-side comparison the new paper is much thinner than before. I hope this is fixed next year.

Improving wildlife habitat
The Yazoo Herald
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) has implemented a new forest management approach on its wildlife management areas (WMAs).
Timber will be managed to optimize habitat for all wildlife species, from reptiles and amphibians, to deer, turkeys, to waterfowl and song birds.
This new forest management approach is called Desired Forest Conditions (DFCs). DFC standards have been developed for bottomland hardwoods and have been implemented for many years on state and federal lands in Arkansas and Louisiana.
Timber managed for DFCs is different than most other forestry practices. The primary objective is to maximize wildlife habitat and not fiber production. DFC management calls for a mixed species stand across pulpwood and saw-timber size classes.

[CHAPTER 7] [Page 1] SLAVE HOUSING During the entire period of slavery in Louisiana, the living quarters of the slaves on the plantations and those removed any distance from "the Big House" underwent little change. Le Page du Pratz, the manager of the King's Plantation, saw to it that the Negroes placed in his charge were assigned to cabins located a good distance from the master's house so that the winds might not blow any offensive odors from the slave quarters in that direction. Surrounding the slave quarters were palisades, each containing a door with a lock and key, by which the slaves could be locked in for the night in a manner similar to that of Louisiana plantations of a later period.1 A description of the cabins of the slaves on the great Chaouachas plantation in the early years of French Domination in Louisiana is particularly interesting. This plantation was at English Turn, about seven leagues below the little town of New Orleans.2 Located on the plantation were, "Twenty negro cabins surrounded by stakes, roofed with palmetto serving as a lodging for the negroes of the Concession." And near these cabins were also "Eighteen cabins roofed with palmetto surrounded by stakes, serving as a barn for the supplies of the negroes." In several of these barns "belonging to different negroes of the said concession were found: Eighty-six barrels of rice, twenty-five barrels of beans and four barrels of potatoes," the rice still unthreshed.3 Many of the other buildings on the estate were either roofed with palmettos or with bark--only a few of them being roofed with shingles.

Fodor's Scotland
Trade Paperback
Here, in this granite shoulder of Grampian, are some of Scotland's most enduring travel icons: Royal Deeside, the countryside that Queen Victoria made her own; the Castle Country route, where fortresses stand hard against the hills; and the Malt Whisky Trail, where peaty streams embrace the country's greatest concentration of distilleries. The region's gateway is the city of Aberdeen, constructed of granite and now aglitter with new wealth and new blood drawn together by North Sea oil.

ESCANABA -- A 19-year-old Escanaba man arrested in connection with a home invasion and felonious assault of a Bark River man was in Delta County Circuit Court Tuesday.
Michael Scott Jones is charged with conspiracy to commit larceny, assault with a dangerous weapon, and first degree home invasion. Jones attempted to plead guilty, but the judge said the defendant failed to give facts that support a plea of guilty.
"I run up and I punched him and he fell off the couch or bed or whatever. I grabbed her and pretty much threw her out the door, and I see the guys come in. They had masks on," said Jones.
"You didn't have a mask on?" asked Judge Stephen Davis.
"No, no sir. I did not have nothing," Jones replied.
Jones' pretrial is rescheduled for Thursday.

Product Description
The New York Times bestseller Christmas Jars has sold nearly 500,000 copies. Thousands of people across the country have emailed the author at ChristmasJars.com about how the Christmas Jars tradition has touched their lives— either by receiving a jar or by giving one.
Hope Jensen's story continues in Christmas Jars Reunion. It's been two years since Hope was reunited with her biological mother on Christmas Eve at Chuck's Chicken 'n' Biscuits. Hope has never felt more complete. She's writing full-time for a family magazine and, with the help of her mother, Marianne, leading the Christmas Jars Ministry out of Chuck's quirky restaurant. To top it off, she's dating a marketing executive in a comfortable long-distance relationship. Her life is right where she wants it to be — a state of organized chaos — as another Christmas rolls around.
Then her world changes forever over Thanksgiving weekend.
The Maxwells hire a nephew to take over the family furniture restoration business. Someone that Hope can't stop thinking about. Then an out-of-town stranger shows up at the diner asking to help in the ministry — a stranger whose motives are yet unclear.
Before the sun sets on Christmas Day, two men will try to change Hope's life forever. In the process, Hope will be reminded of the immense power of a single jar, and the healing that sometimes comes only with forgiveness.

Chapter One
Twenty-Five Years Later
It was such magic in our lives. The gift left to us by someone restored something in my family and me. My troubles aren't gone, but MY HOPE is restored. —JBM
Chuck might be the only person ever to write his last will and testament on the back of a paper placemat." Preacher Longhurst paused as soft laughter rolled across the crowd assembled under the mammoth green canopy erected in the field behind Chuck's Chicken 'n' Biscuits. "But friends, who are we kidding, there were probably a lot of things Chuck was the first person to ever dream of."
Hope Jensen smiled from her folding chair on the second row.
"And that's why we loved him. It was not just for his secret recipe that produced fried chicken so tasty it could have been made by angels in hairnets, but also for his heavenly Three Musketeers pie, his Sing for a Wing talent nights, and his Cluck Truck that was a rolling landmark around town. Who here hasn't been sitting at a stoplight when Chuck pulled up behind you and all you could see in the rearview mirror was a yellow beak? You'd smile, he'd wave, and if you were lucky, he'd honk the only horn ever manufactured that went 'buck-buck.'"
The congregation laughed, partly for the memory of Chuck's famous horn, but mostly for the silly sound effect Preacher Longhurst made with his lips pressed against the microphone.
Hope looked at Marianne's soft expression and squeezed her hand. Marianne had only known Chuck since she had been reunited with Hope three years earlier, but he'd become family to her, just as the Maxwells had. In fact, he became family to nearly everyone who'd ever had a meal at Chuck's Chicken 'n' Biscuits.
"Friends and neighbors, there was more to Chuck than his sense of humor, and he wasn't just about customer service. He was about people service. More often than not when you saw the Cluck Truck around the county it meant that Chuck was delivering free meals to schools, church functions, or the seniors' center. His sweetheart, Gayle, tells me he gave away as many meals as he sold during his many years in business."
Gayle nodded from the family section in the front row.
"Dear friends, I know that some among us find it ironic that a preacher from a church Chuck never attended is officiating his funeral. I have wondered the same thing. The truth is that Chuck rarely attended church. I invited him every time I saw him, usually on Sundays for lunch or when I was brave enough to participate in Sing for a Wing night. But his answer never deviated. And these words will sound familiar to his family, I'm sure. He always told me, 'Preacher, just because I'm not in God's house doesn't mean he's not in mine.'"
He looked down at Gayle from the wobbly tabletop pulpit. "Chuck's church was here, wasn't it? Here at the diner, where he did more good for God than any of us will ever know." He reached down to the table and pulled something from a large envelope.
"Now I know this is rather unusual, but this whole day feels different, doesn't it? I've discussed this with Gayle and with her enthusiastic support I'm going to read Chuck's will for you."
Gayle smiled, reaffirming her blessing, and clutched her unopened package of Kleenex. With her eyes closed she saw herself sitting in a booth five years earlier with her husband late one evening. Chuck had suffered a very mild heart attack and was convinced it was time for a will. But instead of hiring an attorney and producing long, complicated lists of wishes, assets, and disclosures, he jotted down his thoughts in tiny letters on the back of a paper placemat. With one hand he wrote, with the other he ate a piece of pie and nursed a carton of chocolate milk.
Hope reached forward and tenderly rubbed Gayle's back.
Gayle's two grown sons, Joel and Mike, sat on her right and left and simultaneously looped their arms through hers.
Preacher Longhurst unfolded the placemat and held it high for the guests to see. Those in the first few rows laughed at the mustache Chuck had sketched on the diner's longtime logo: a cartoon chicken.
"'The one and only will and testament of Charles 'Chuck' Quillon. If you're reading this then I've kicked the chicken bucket.'" Preacher Longhurst looked up and out at the crowd. "It says, 'If read aloud, pause for laughter.'"
They laughed again.
"'If I'm dead, I either choked on a chicken bone, had a heart attack worse than last month's, or Gayle finally made good on her threat to smother me in my sleep and take my vast personal wealth. I hope for the sake of a good story that it was the latter.'"
Hope whispered something in Marianne's ear.
"You're so bad." Marianne poked her in the side.
"'What to do with my stuff.'" Preacher Longhurst looked up again. "You'll have to excuse me, the writing is quite small here." He held the placemat closer to his face. "'My stuff. The restaurant to Gayle and the boys. The red Mustang to my brother, Derrick. The silver-and-black one to Randall, the best cook in America. The stuffed chicken by the register to Eva, the worst waitress in America.'"
Eva laughed loudly and clapped her hands twice in delight.
"'Last. My two certificates of deposit from Southern Family Credit Union. Gayle will cash in and divide equally with everyone who ever worked at Chuck's. Be prepared to be surprised.'" There were several gasps throughout the tent and someone actually clapped. Before long they were all applauding.
Preacher Longhurst continued. "'Rules for my funeral. Number one. No crying. Number two. No church. Funeral must be held at diner or outside in the meadow.'" He smiled and gestured with one hand to the rented tent that sheltered some two hundred guests less than fifty yards from Chuck's. "'Number three. No sad and hokey two-for-one deaths. This isn't some cheesy novel or chick flick. If I go first, Gayle must live for a minimum of twenty more years.'"
The crowd laughed and Gayle rolled her eyes.
"'Number four. No use of the words "mourners," "grief," or "beef."'" Preacher Longhurst shook his head. "I just got that," he said sheepishly.
"'Number five. Serve a free meal before or after. Leg-and-thigh platter with tots. But no free drinks.'"
The crowd laughed even harder.
"'Number six. Everyone gets a jar. Hope's in charge." Preacher Longhurst pointed at a row of banquet tables running along one side of the tent. Covering the tables were Mason jars bearing a black-and-gold label that read Christmas Jar.
Gayle turned around and winked at Hope.
Hope glanced at her best friend, Hannah Maxwell, on one side, Marianne on the other, and gave the preacher a thumbs-up.
"'Lastly, number seven. Keep living. Because I'll know if you've stopped.'"
Preacher Longhurst held up the placemat once again and pointed out where Chuck had signed and dated it and reminded everyone that despite its uniqueness, it was, in fact, a legally binding document. He added a few more words of his own about the legacy of Chuck Quillon and closed with a scripture.
Both of Chuck's sons spoke briefly. Then his brother, Derrick, spoke until he began to lose composure. He finished, "I better sit down now before I cry and lose that Mustang."
Finally, Hope, Hannah, and Marianne stood and sang a closing hymn that could have been written by just about anyone in attendance: "Because I Have Been Given Much." There wasn't a dry eye in the tent.
After a benediction by one of Chuck's grandchildren, the pallbearers loaded the plain casket into the hearse and the guests made their way to a small cemetery ten miles south down U.S. Highway 4. There was no graveside service, just a moment or two of private reflection. Many stopped to touch the casket or whisper something kind into the wind.
A team of folks had stayed back at the diner to prepare for lunch so by the time the procession returned, the tent had been filled with tables and chairs and hot chicken and tots were being served on heavy-duty paper plates. Five-gallon coolers bearing Chuck's cartoon chicken logo poured lemonade.
"What a turnout," Hope said to Hannah Maxwell.
"Not surprising though, right? Who in the south hasn't eaten at Chuck's at least once? See that lady over there?" She pointed with her fork to an older woman sitting at the far side of the tent. "That's Terri Alexander. I think she's from Tampa. She heard from a friend of a friend that Chuck passed and wanted to be here."
Hannah repeated the point to her husband, Dustin, and the two began counting how many people in the crowd were unfamiliar to them.
Hope rested her head on Marianne's shoulder for a moment and relaxed. It had been a tiring four days. Chuck died on Thanksgiving evening, alone in the kitchen, after serving free meals to anyone who'd asked. It was an annual tradition at Chuck's, and it seemed natural that he'd leave the earth on the same day he gave several dozen others a full stomach and one more day of life. Gayle said that at age seventy-four, after all that Chuck had accomplished, no one could say that he'd left behind any unfinished songs.
This had been Hope's first funeral since Adam Maxwell's three years earlier when she'd sat shyly in the back. She'd not grown up with a traditional father of her own, but she'd certainly had two terrific dads. Between Adam and Chuck she'd had more love and fatherly guidance than most girls she knew.
Hope looked at Marianne and warmed at the thought that not only had she loved two fathers, but in a strange way, two mothers as well. Raised with such unconditional care by her late mother, Louise, she was now cherished by Marianne. The two were much more like sisters than mother and daughter. In fact, Hope reserved the title of Mother only for Louise, even though it was as crystal clear as their stunning eyes that Marianne was Hope's biological mother.
By now practically everyone in the county knew she'd been mentored by Adam for a short time, and by Chuck since birth. She surveyed the funeral scene and proudly wondered how many other people could make such a claim.
Adam's widow, Lauren, had adjusted well to the loss of her husband. She volunteered at the hospital three days a week and at an elementary school the other two days. The weekends were spent with her grandchildren, recharging her battery, and keeping her mind off the loneliness of a king-sized bed. And because Christmas was just three weeks away, she enjoyed telling people she was "beyond busy" with the Christmas Jars Ministry.
Hope watched as the first wave of people finished lunch and began stopping by the tables to pick up their Christmas Jars. A few spotted Hope at her table, caught her eye, and proudly raised their jars for her to see. She blew them a kiss and waved good-bye.
She knew that everyone would find a rolled-up note, tied with green yarn, inside the jar which explained its purpose:
Thank you for honoring Chuck's wish and taking a Christmas Jar with you. The tradition may already be a familiar one, and if it is and you already have a jar at home, we thank you again and invite you to give this jar to someone who is not yet part of the magic. If this is your introduction to the tradition, we ask you to place this jar on your counter at home, or anywhere it can easily be seen and reached. Each day drop your spare change, coins only, into the jar. On or around Christmas Eve, give the jar away anonymously to someone in need. The need is yours to judge and the decision of who receives the jar is yours and yours alone to make. As soon as possible after Christmas, place a new jar on the counter and begin filling it for next year. The miracle begins with you!
Beautiful story!

If you haven't read Christmas Jars, the New York Times bestselling book by Jason F. Wright, you've missed out on a classic Christmas story that will change how you view the season of giving. Its sequel, aptly titled Christmas Jars Reunion is reminiscent of the first. Across the country, a phenomenon has begun to unfold. Since the release of Christmas Jars, hundreds of readers have contacted author Jason Wright and shared their Christmas Jar stories, and thousands of Christmas Jars have been given away across the country. Individuals and families are setting out an empty Mason jar to be filled with spare change throughout the year. Then anonymously, the family gives away the jar around Christmas time to a person in need. In Christmas Jars Reunion, the story that began in Christmas Jars continues. Yet, this story stands on its own, bringing the reader once again into Hope's Jensen's remarkable life. The author includes a quote from a Christmas Jar recipient at the beginning of each chapter. One reads, "I've often wondered how a person repays kindness. I know now . . . with a Christmas Jar. As if a year full of blessings wasn't already enough, God blessed me again tonight. And tomorrow? A new jar begins. –Patricia" (CJR, 60). But even Hope Jensen needs to learn what the spirit of selfless giving is truly about. When Clark Maxwell re-enters her life, she must decide if she can allow him into her heart once again, and discover that loving someone might just be worth the risk. Hope sets the lofty goal of distributing 1,001 Christmas Jars in honor of Chuck, deceased owner of Chuck's diner. But in the process, the importance of the original Christmas Jar is lost. It will take a stranger, a young girl, and an interview of a lifetime to bring back the true meaning that the Christmas Jar was intended for. Christmas Jars Reunion is a story that will inspire you to look closer at your life and remind you of the significance of selfless giving.
ONE Jar for ONE Person because of ONE Savior

I LOVED this book even better than Christmas Jars! Hope has been touched by the gift of the Christmas Jars and wants to help spread that love... and help that they bring... Heading up the Christmas Jars Ministry has become a big part of her life. She wants to see thousands of jars given this Christmas... But in the end she realizes it is all about... ONE jar For ONE person Because of our ONE Savior
A Story Perfect for Families
by Hannah - reviewed on August 04, 2013
The only issues I had with this was mainly about the audiobook part, but because I'm just not one for audio books in general, I don't think that these concerns are major. The story is nice and simple, one that kids will be able to enjoy. There are a few tug-at-the-heartstrings moments, and the overall moral of the story really helps to define what Christmas is all about - not the number of gifts we give, but just simply giving.

On Columbus Circle 180 singers and dancers from Young People's Chorus and the National Dance Institute, joined by 200 adults, sung and danced to Give Us Hope, and dazzled a huge, enthusiastic crowd that gathered within seconds. Watch out for the full video on Youtube soon!
Special thank-you to the Scottish Choir whose 132 members from 3 different choirs saved for 2 years to join us this year in NYC! They were a huge hit everywhere they went, and their "Gift to the U.S." - a brilliant arrangement of Star Spangled Banner and Amazing Grace sung together - touched everyone's heart.
A few of us were lucky enough to attend the NY Philharmonic's performance of Mahler's Resurrection, truly a tours de force that left the audience in tears of appreciation. Also at the Lincoln Center, Table of Silence was performed by 100 NYC dancers on the plaza on Sunday morning. A result of choreographer Jacqulyn Buglisi's vision and determination, it was poignant and indescribably beautiful.
Sunday night at St. Patrick's Cathedral, just when I thought our signature concert couldn't get better than last year's, the NY Choral Society, St. Patrick's Choir, and Young People's Chorus of NYC gave yet another magnificent performance. We left the Cathedral in awe of what was just given to us.
Smaller, but no less significant, concerts took place in senior centers, subway stations, and office plazas. Words of appreciation for the music brought to and by these venues are a reminder that music indeed has a magical power.
Now please share your experience. Send us photos and videos! We will add them to our website and our Youtube channel.
