Thanksgiving...more than a meal!


For these things I give thanks: a family I love, and know loves me...unconditionally. And trust me, I can have some "conditions". But not only do I love each and every one of them, they are just plain fun!
My family means laughter, and for that I give thanks.



My sister was a fabulous host..........all weekend!!!

She not only served an incredible Thanksgiving meal, but provided feasts ALL weekend, morning, noon and night. And if that wasn't enough, she modeled the latest in sleepwear! She is the best!

After dinner the women did LOTS of dishes


And put up the leftovers... while the men watched football!!
That's All Folks!!
Mary Kate asked me to come take a picture of her as she was leaving ....
"I will wave good bye and say
'see you soon for Christmas' and you take my picture"

Wikipedia Dating



So, although I have been gone a LOT the last few months, I have managed to find some time to brave the dating scene with a couple guys. And, strangely enough both Bobs can be found on Wikipedia. In fact, I briefly considered adding "famous enough to be on Wikipedia" to my list of date must-haves. Of course I quickly came to my single senses and realized this would make the chance of going on any future dates pretty much nil. But sometimes that doesn't seem like such a bad option either!

Wikipedia One - Animal Rights Bob (ARB). This was a blast from my high school past. Turned out to be a nostalgic few days and paved the way for connecting with some other friends from high school. But eating VEGAN is HARD! Pasta without parmesan cheese? But ARB is a good guy and very passionate about animals, although I am happy to report he did squish a giant cockroach while at my house. My ridiculously girlie and terrified screams brought him running...."I don't care what you do with it, just get it the hell out of my house!" [On a side note, it really bothers me I am like that, but I can't help it. I simply cannot remain calm when a ginormous cockroach is in my house! They just scare me!!!]

We are good friends once more and I am glad we strolled down memory lane. And very glad he squished that cockroach!


Circa 1976...plaid was quite the rage, obviously!!
Be thankful for the poor picture quality.


More on Wikipedia Two next time.............
