Simply Thankful Folks! Simply Thankful....

I've always looked forward to Thanksgiving.  It's my holiday of choice.  Isn't it a wonderful thing to reserve a day - one day - just to give thanks.  Every country should have this holiday.  It's a day to pause and think of all the bounty we have received.

I surely am thankful for a lot of  things.  I am thankful first and foremost, that I still have a job.  Many people out there are still looking for jobs after being out of work for months.  I have been blessed.

I am also thankful for my family, my health and most of all - realizing who my real friends are.  These are moments that we have to cherish and I am glad that I am spending them with friends who really care for me.

 I am not going home to my family this Thanksgiving. I am simply staying put and cooking my first ever Thanksgiving dinner.  I am quite excited so, I went to the store yesterday and today to buy all the ingredients that I would need to prepare a scrumptious meal for a few of my friends.

In any case, I wish you all the best and a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  May you continue to be blessed  always.  Cheers!

It's a great weekend here folks! The weather is excellent!

The weather is finally cooperating.  After days of rain here on the east coast, we are finally getting the warm weather that will allow for shorts and tank tops.

It was the perfect day to run around doing errands as well.  I went to the nursery around the corner from my house and bought a few plants to get started in my garden.

I bought a couple of Boston ferns, a red geranium, and a full flat tray of impatiens.  I just finished planting and dang, it looks nice.  I know - it sounds a bit gay but I love gardening.  It's hard for me to grow anything else other than those types that I just bought.  Sometimes, I can even kill cactus.

But, you know what hot weather means.  I have a neighbor who is a body builder and sometimes during the summer, he walks his black lab around the neighborhood while he is shirtless.  It makes me wonder sometimes.  Do straight guys really walk around shirtless in any neighborhood?  I love my neighbors.  LOL!
