I'm Not Complaining, but It Is Such an Odd Late November Day Today

Around this time of year in my neck of the woods, it should be much cooler than it currently is today, but I am not complaining about the warm and sunny above-average temperature that the day is providing.

Our Thanksgiving Family Day Turned Out to Be A Wonderful Event

I would like to wish everyone here on Blogit a safe, blessed, and happy Thanksgiving. John is working today, and so are two of our daughters, as well as their spouses, so we will not be having our traditional Thanksgiving meal. Instead, we gathered and dined out at a restaurant yesterday and had an... Sign in to see full entry.

We Are Celebrating Thanksgiving the Untraditional Way Today

A Fun Day is My Goal for the Day

Sundays for me always make me smile. My favorite Food Network shows air all morning and then we normally go for a Sunday drive, followed by coming home to a dinner that includes our favorite meals. By meals, I mean that I usually turn to seafood and John looks for anything but crustaceans on his... Sign in to see full entry.
