Trim That Tree!

Put up a small (nearly 3 feet tall) Christmas tree in our great room next to the fireplace on a table covered in red cloth.  Really looks nice.  We haven't had a real tree since we moved to NM in 2007.  When Christmas is over John will plant it in our back yard - it is drought resistant too.

Trekkie

I love Star Trek.  We were also big fans of Star Trek: Next Generation.  A new TV station has come to this area - it is a new network called MeTV (MemoryEntertainmentTV).  All kinds of great old shows are shown including Star Trek.  It is such fun to watch the original series.  They also show:  Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, Thriller, The Rebel, Combat -- a few of the shows that we record and watch when we can.  Great fun!

No Kidding!

We will be spending Thanksgiving with John's mom and brother at their Assisted Living facility.  Nice lunch, good company.  John is actually taking off 3 full days this week:  Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.  What a treat!  He plans on cooking (after brining) our turkey on Friday or Saturday.  He loves turkey (so do I) and so he carves the turkey and stores meal sized portions in our extra freezer for future lunches and dinners.  Looking forward to two turkey dinners this week.

Won't see you again until next Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Autumn Leaves

We have had true autumn weather for the past two weeks.  Put away all my summer clothes and brought out fall and winter.  Nothing better than getting all cozy with a nice sweatshirt on and a hot cup of French Vanilla Cappuccino - yum.

Enjoy your weekend!

Thanksgiving Invitations

Well, have you invited all those you wish to be with you on Thanksgiving?  Have you made sure everyone gets along?  Have you assured there will be no quarrels?  Good luck with that!

We will be having Thanksgiving Lunch with Grandma Flo and Uncle Simon (my mother-in-law and brother-in-law) at their Assisted Living facility.  Being that it is much too difficult to move Flo and we would have to have a CNA with her the whole time she was away from her home, it is much easier for everyone if we go there.

See you Friday!

Are We Alone?

I think we have to be realistic, whether we believe in God or not, that the chances that He created all this just for us is just a wee bit narcissistic.  I have no idea what or where there is something or someone else but I do believe there is.

Have a great weekend!

Biodegradable

I love it when we can purchase items that are biodegradable.  However, it seems in the last few years, it is more difficult to find them - can't figure out why though.  Just keep hunting.

No Cartoon or Photo

Due to our upgrading our internet speed there are some things that cannot be done until Monday evening - one is that I cannot upload photos, cartoons, etc...

Sorry!

Have a super, duper weekend.
