A Word From Karen

When I was a kid, my cousin and I had a favorite card game called Speed. We loved to play over and over again. I also enjoyed family game nights with Clue, Monopoly and other board games. You, too, can bring back those memories during National Game & Puzzle Week, Nov. 23-29.

You’ll have an extra hour of evening for those games after you “fall back” an hour on Nov. 2. Make sure your clock is set properly so you can make it to the polls for Election Day on Nov. 4. Then, take a few moments of silence to remember the fallen on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

When I was younger I remember seeing an old Dick Van Dyke movie called Cold Turkey. He played a minister who challenged his congregation to give up smoking. Even if it’s only for one day, you can stop, too, for the Great American Smokeout on Nov. 20. Do more good and bring your spouse and kids along for Family Volunteer Day on Nov. 22.

Spend a bit more time with the family and consider all the things for which you are grateful on Thanksgiving, Nov. 27. See who knows the most about this holiday by taking the quiz in Treehouse Games.
