Fresh New Year

Hello my Friends,

I hope the holidays have been good to you. I did tell Santa that you guys have been awesome. I believe mine went well with the gifts I managed to gather since August. I must say though the weather has dropped to some downright chilly cold snaps. Our power even went out! imagine that. Not a good thing when heat is all electrical. I think it's because some trees may be overloaded with snow and leaning on the lines.

I been having trouble with the doors. They keep freezing shut! I couldn't get out the front door so had to go out the back door and stumble through three feet of snow! I had to charge the door which of course flies open along with me flying through the door and thumped on the floor. I spent the day falling into gales of laughter when recalling that experience. Also had to replace the doorknob before my floor dive, brrr!

A house down the road has a wind turbine and it looks so cute. I think it's just the distance from the road while driving by that makes it look so miniature. I am so tempted to go to the owners house and ask a million and one questions. I wouldn't mind getting one but would like to know first hand the experience considering our location and unpredictable weather patterns. It should prove to be a interesting story after winter, don't you think?

One of my sons asked me to help him get some short stories published. This should prove to be another interesting experience for both him and I. Wow, never imagined trying my hand at submitting short fiction. I guess my new year is off to quite a start for new and fresh.

Anyways, I know you must run as duty calls. I found a few items that will hopefully make you chuckle --> Jokes and a Tongue Twister

-The quack quit asking quick questions.

-Girls are like phones. We love to be held, talked too but if you press the wrong button you'll be disconnected!

-A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

-Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks

-Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

-Energizer Bunny arrested and charged with battery.

I hope you take care, have a great week and stay safe.

Blessed Thanksgiving

Hello my Friends,

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Today is Thanksgiving 2009 and I know you are far from home but hope you know, you are in many hearts and thoughts at many tables, including mine. You hold a special place of honour and there is none more deserving.

I hope you have a day surrounded with friends and a round of some sort of sports going on, to build up your appetite. Remember to drink a lot of water also to keep you well hydrated. One must practice patience while waiting for the phone line or internet to clear up. I know it gets annoying but you will have your chance to send your message to family. I was once told, when it seems there are obstacle to something we want right now, it's a lesson being given in patience. What are your thoughts on that?

I quite enjoy the variety of turkey images that are available online. Some really great and humorous graphic artists. A favorite commercial of mine is the bunny clucking like a chicken, for Easter. First time I heard that, I thought I'd die of laughter. Wow! some good marketing tactics out there, don't you think? I think there should be lots more turkey gobble audio sounds on tv commercials too.

Plates of turkey, spuds, vegetables, gravy and beverages with pumpkin pie or other favorite desserts. Top off with a glass of wine and toast to you and fellow man for all that we have, this I wish for you and me. Mind you, I'd have to recommend that nobody let me near the stove to cook. I'm still sort of charring mine.

Finish with conversations of all that's good, funny and loved. A round of games maybe? would you even have the energy or will you doze off? How about a round of partner Skip-bo? I've played where people have forgotten that they even had partners and risk their game. :)

The night will settle in slowly and is time for rest soon. I know you must run and I won't keep you. I leave this last little bit for you, hope you chuckle ;

The three days following Thanksgiving are commonly referred to as:

a) the Marathon Football Endurance Test
b) the Turkey Variations Endurance Test
c) the Leftover Relative Endurance Test

I wish you a Blessed Thanksgiving, my darling(s). Please take care and stay safe, k.
