Happy Thanksgiving!

Wed, Nov 26th 2025 6:02 pm by David Shippey Winter Haven News

It is hard to believe that we are in November already and that we will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow. If you don't already do this as a practice, take some time to make a list of everything you have been thankful for over this past year. They could be big items or small items. I think you will find the list is longer than you thought! Vicki and I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! ~ David

Time Changes this Sunday! Don't Forget or You Will Be Early!

Fri, Oct 31st 2025 6:43 pm by David Shippey Winter Haven News

Get ready to return to the days of earlier showing times so you can still see homes in the daylight! (Some people might call that the end of daylight savings… but we know the real truth!)

Time changes on Sunday, and this one is a bit divisive. Some people love the extra hour of sleep that “fall back” brings; some hate the feeling of shorter daylight hours; and some just wish we would pick a time and stick with it! Which category do you fall into?
