Our visit to our grandmother's house in the South during the holidays was eventful. To begin, we decided to
drive to save money. We drove from southern Ohio to central Georgia, where our grandmother lives. Instead
of the normal one-day trip, we ended up taking three days due to bad weather. Once we arrived, we were
ushered inside and welcomed with a homemade southern meal. After eating, we got settled in and enjoyed
each other's company for the following five days. These days were interrupted periodically with two arguing
family members, so some of us were not pleased that what was supposed to be a calm gathering turned
into a verbal boxing match. However, by the end of the trip, most of our family managed to enjoy each
other's company, the tasty food, and the mild southern winter weather.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
