Thoughts of Thanksgiving and Beyond

Here it is the last day of November and I am wondering where the year has gone let alone Thanksgiving. The day started off very nice and relaxing I got up and made scones for my family, (Thanks Mom they were wonderful and very quick and easy) I got the turkey in the oven and started some things that I knew would take longer to cook then I went in and watched the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. In years past I usually only get to see parts of it but this year I wasn't on a timetable so I got to see the parade it makes me smile because I always think of the movie I love to watch Miracle on 34th St. My niece Crystal came by for a visit She has just moved here with her boyfriend (He had to work that day so she came, He was busy protecting our country for the rights and freedoms we enjoy, Thank you Dave). Crystal left around 12:30 then we had Lunch a little while later. This was the first Thanksgiving in 2o years we celebrated with just our family it was so nice and relaxing we took naps later after lunch and watched movies all in all it was a wonderful day. We have always loved being around family with lots of laughter and joking but this year was just different and the whole weekend went that way. We went and saw Harry Potter It was a wonderful movie and probably the best one yet, and very much worth taking the time to go and see. Josh keeps saying he needs to see it again. It was a wonderful weekend. I have a treat for those of you who like conspiracy theory's and have read all of the Harry potter books click here ~

What is the Mystical Land of Your Birth

The Land of Moonlit Magic

You are a siren of the Land of Moonlit Magic. The
moon is your goddess and you follow her with a
mystic eye. You stare up the night sky and
question the world. You are inquisitive and
that is wonderful. You feel most comfortable in
the night air under a cloudless sky. You thrive
under the moonlight.

Happy Birthday Mom

Yes it was yesterday and although I did send you a card I didn't post about your birthday or "officially, for the world to see" Blog about it. I hope that you had a wonderful day and that you were treated like a Queen. Things are looking up in that area at least for you, sense you quit working at McDonalds at least you are no longer one of those "abused older workers" we hear about. I hope you will have a Wonderful year this next year. I Love you Mom.

Thoughts From Halloween

Well I am sitting here thinking quite fondly or in sadness, I haven't quite decided yet, about our first Halloween.... Ok so it has been 16 years of Halloween's with our children but this was the first year our children went Trick-or-Treating without us. I can remember all of the past years where we have had 3 Musketeers (which has become a Halloween night tradition to watch), Mummy's, Ninja's, Monsters and scientists, and walking dead. Where there were cold fingers, hot steaming chocolate, bumps and bruises, rain, and Blue Moons. The boys decided that they wanted to go Trick-or-Treating without us and that they were old enough to go with friends. I did let them go with some trepidation and my cell phone. We live in a safe neighborhood but hey, you never know. They came back with "loads" of candy and happy smiles. I guess this is where we start chalking this time up to being in "The Days of Our Lives".

Feeding time at the Zoo? LOL
