Gather Together. . .

Hello my friends,

 

in America November is the month that we GATHER together with family and friends and thank the good Lord for all of our many blessings.

 

Thanksgiving has always held a special place in my heart!

 

When the Clock Strikes Midnight. . .

Hello my friends,

Do you mind me asking, "what were you doing when the clock struck midnight and 2017 came to an end?

Were you nestled all snug in your bed fast asleep, or were you up celebrating?

Our table was set and we were ready to party with family and friends.

If we had been having a formal dinner we would have dined upstairs, but since we were having finger foods and playing games I decided to host it downstairs.

That way we didn't have to lift that heavy typewriter off

 of the table.  :)

Just Be-Cuz

Thursday evening I headed to Midway for an annual Fall celebration with my cousin (Cuz) Betty, her two daughters, her daughter-in-law, and my friend Diana. Sometimes I ask myself, "Why do I go to Swiss Days?" We rise early and head to the park hoping to beat the madness of all the crowds and to see what new creations we might come across this year. As many of you know, I really don't need another thing to decorate for Fall or Halloween. For some uncanny reason that's what seems to tempt me the most. One booth had the cutest crazy looking Halloween cat. I was so tempted that I left to go get me a diet coke, thinking that might take my mind off of it. Then Diana told me that there were only two of them and that a lady and her friend bought them both. Lucky for me they beat me to it. The atmosphere is fun and the food is great but after listening to that Swiss music all day we are definately ready to leave by around 2 in the afternoon. By then the park is swarming with people and the lines to buy anything are so long. The overnight stay in the hotel is always fun visiting with everyone and a few laughs are always guaranteed. So when I ask myself "Why?" I simply say Just be-CUZ!
p.s. I vowed not to buy Fall or Halloween, I caved and bought 1 new Halloween decor to hang on my new door.
