On This Day…

Hello.

We are glad you are here! Thanks for starting your weekend with us.
As you know, the week can sometimes feel stressful-especially this time of year as the hustle and bustle of holiday season is in full swing.

That’s why we like to take time Saturday morning to start a little slower. With a simple “scroll down memory lane.” It’s a look back on events that happened on this day in the pages of history before you head out to create new moments in your own day. So, grab your favorite sippin’ drink and let’s scroll!

Today is Saturday, November 26th, the 330th day of the year.  There are 35 days until the end of the year.

On this day:

In 1789, President George Washington used Thanksgiving Day to observe the adoption of the Constitution.  It became the first national celebration of Thanksgiving.

In 1861, West Virginia was created by secession from the confederate state of Virginia following a dispute over slavery.
