The blood of our revolutionary ancestors lives among us with more than 100,000 active 'daughters' dedicated to preserving history and promoting education.

'Daughters of the American Revolution' (DAR) was founded in 1890 and has a storied history of promoting patriotism in the United States.

The DAR Moorestown chapter, founded in 1917, has embarked on a mission to honor local patriots during America's 250th celebration.

They created a spreadsheet of graves across Burlington County with the intention of honoring each one by 2033.

Their flagship effort has been cleaning and marking graves at St. Mary's Episcopal Churchyard in Burlington.

Watch the video above to see how they're keeping their ancestors' legacies alive.

The 3-Ingredient Biscuit Trick Older Cooks Knew Before Anyone Bought Canned Dough

Mayonnaise in biscuits sounds strange right up until you remember what mayonnaise is made from: eggs and oil, two ingredients that already belong in plenty of baked goods. Old-fashioned mayonnaise biscuits use that shortcut to turn just three basic ingredients into tender, golden biscuits without cutting cold butter into flour or worrying about complicated dough. They bake up soft inside with lightly browned tops, ready for butter, jam, honey, sausage gravy, or whatever else belongs on the breakfast table. It’s the sort of recipe that feels almost too simple until the first pan comes out of the oven. Then you understand why practical home cooks kept tricks like this around.

Tropical Storm Rachel Expected to Impact Southern California and Surrounding States | Complex Setup

Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.
