Happy Thanksgiving

Addie made this turkey in Sunday school last week.  I hope everyone has a great and blessed Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for...

I am thankful for that we had two weeks without any rain.  It gave us a chance to dry out.  Now the rain is back but hopefully won't stay too long this time.

A sad day

My Gramma passed away Monday morning.  Today is her funeral.  I will miss her dearly.

Christmas Tote

My Momma made this beautiful Christmas tote for me.   I can't wait to use it!   I am so thankful that I have a talented Mom.  I only wish I could sew as well as she does.  I know if I practiced more at sewing I would get better but I get frustrated with it.  I'll stick to paper crafts!

Prompt 5-Photo only!

Public or Private-prompt 2

Hmmm, I have been thinking about this prompt so it has taken me a couple of days to blog about it.  Shimelle wrote about how much info do we share on the internet.  For the most part, I try to keep certain info about myself private.  I know not to post about vacations (even though we rarely go anyway..but on occasion.) until after the fact.  And I try not to give specifics about where I live...and I am careful about not posting pictures that may give away too info of where I live.  Not that this is a big secret but unfortunately there are people in this world that are evil and I would rather be safe than sorry.  Thanks for reading my ramblings while I am awake in the middle of the night!

"Love Will Keep Us Together"

For the better part of this morning, I was singing Captain and Tenille's Love Will Keep Us Together. 

"Love, Love will keep us together
Think of me babe whenever
Some sweet talkin' girl comes along singin' his song
Don't mess around,
You just got to be strong
Just Stop, 'cause I really love You
Stop, I'll be thinking of you
Look in my heart and let love keep us together..."

Now, you are probably asking yourself why was she singing this particular song.  Because this morning on my way to work the DJs were talking about Captain and Tenille's Muskrat Love.  One of the DJs was claiming to say he had never heard of Captain and Tenille.  Really, you don't remember Captain and Tenille Show which was a weekly variety showed that aired in 1976-1977???? Ah...come on now. The DJ is only a couple of years younger than I am.  The other DJ gave him a hard time..so she started playing other Captain and Tenille songs.  I was singing along with them. 

Anyway, that was my big excitement today.  Other than that it was just a normal day at work.  Addie is spending the night with her Gram.  She is out of school tomorrow so Gram is keeping her.  It gives me a little break from our nightly routine.  I can read some more of the blogs from other people taking Shimelle's class.  YIPPIE!!!!

Playing Favorites - TV shows

Today's prompt for Shimelle's class is 5 favorites of something.  I decided to list my 5 favorite current TV shows.

1.  NCIS  (love this show..can't miss it!)
2.  Criminal Minds
3. The Big Bang Theory (I started watching this show last year.  It cracks me up!)
4.  Two and Half Men (Another shows that cracks me up!)
5.   NCIS Los Angeles (Chris O'Donnell = nice eye candy)

Blogging for Scrapbookers

I hope by taking this class,  Blogging for Scrapbookers , by Shimelle that my creative juices will start to flow again.  I know I have been ignoring my blog and scrapbooking over the last year.  I hope with this class that I can do more of both.  This is a picture of my scrapbook space.  I hope to spend more time in this area creating and documenting my life!

Tiger Dog

This picture just cracks me up.  Bill put Addie's Tiger ears on Winston.  Winston is too cute!

Halloween

Last night we took Addie over to a friend's house to eat chili and go trick or treating.  Addie looked adorable in her tiger costume. (Thank you Mom!  You did a great job on her costume)  Addie got lots of candy.  We had a great time.  Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures to share (unless you are on facebook..I was able to send the ones I took from my camera phone to my facebook account).  My computer is down at the moment.  I am Bill's computer in the dungeon.  Hopefully, Bill will have my computer fixed soon so I can share the Tiger pictures.
