HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

I have been gone so long I do not know where to begin, but I am not going to clutter my HAPPY THANKSGIVING Post with "Catch-up" about me,  I will bring you up to date soon. 

There are so many wonderful things happening and so many things I am grateful for each and everyday!  I wish you and yours a most loving and awesome day with your family and friends and even if you are alone this holiday take the time to enjoy the peace and quiet, reflect on the beauty all around you and the sweet memories you have gathered over your lifetime, celebrate the relationships you have and the love in your life, it is a wonderful day!

PLEASE WATCH THE DR. PHIL SHOW, MONDAY MAY 30, 2011

If you can, Watch the DR. PHIL show on Monday regarding Domestic Violence. This is his show with one of our family members, VERY, VERY SAD. The Father of this little girl murdered her, (concerning a custody battle). Here is a short preview. The interview with TISHA, she is the first one shown on the video.

Happy New Year Everyone ♥♥♥

Well here we are the beginning, the first, the only day 1 of 2011. Wow, what in the world happened to 2010? My head is whirling, my memory must really be gone, and don't even talk to me about another year of aging!

So, I have decided to welcome 2011 with all the gusto of a constant party surrounded with friends and family and enjoying every minute that I can! :0)

Done with the "Guilt thing" so I did not make any New Year’s Resolutions, life is just too crazy with never ending changes so there ya go, I will truly take it one day at a time. I do have a wish list: I hope to spend more time designing; jewelry, clothing, handbags; I hope to spend more time with family; I hope to be brave enough to overcome any and all obstacles in my path; I hope to stay healthy and gain more wisdom; I hope that any and all changes and adventures will truly make me a stronger person; I hope that I can continue to Laugh and embrace whatever NEWNESS comes my way; I hope to really get the tolerance and patience thing down and be loved for my gentleness and kindness; I hope to be a better friend;


So far, doing great today, sure it's ONLY 1:11pm (PST) but hey; it is a NEW BEGINNING right?

The Prime Rib is in the Oven the Potatoes are nearly baked, dessert is tempting me; it is ready and available to partake. My sister and Brother-In-Law are on their way over and we will be having what we call “LINNER” around 2:00 p.m.

It will be a nice relaxing, fun day, just the four of us old people, “COOL Old People”, eating, and reflecting on the past I suppose, enjoying a luscious beverage or two, possibly watch a movie later on.


I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, I cannot get enough of that movie, or perhaps we will watch, “Wolfman” I found this to be a most awesome movie the 2nd time around and of course, ANTHONY HOPKINS, does it get any better than him and his acting? I do have a crush on him!


So good friends, I wanted to share a little of my 2011 thoughts and wish you all a “HAPPY NEW YEAR”, may you love your life, have the best of health and prosperity in this new world that we live in.

Hugs to all! ♥♥♥

Happy Thanksgiving!

Before time gets away from me,  like it seems to do daily,  I wanted to be sure and wish all of you a very "HAPPY THANKSGIVING".   I hope you have a wonderful day with family and friends.  And if you are like me and Michael, not celebrating with all of the Family, I wish you a wonderful, peaceful, quiet, relaxing day!

Our Family is going in every direction this year, but not in our direction and that is OK.  Our children are all grown, they are all in different locations in the country.   We plan on eating out at one of our local restaurants and catching a movie.  It will be a treat for us, we have been so busy and it has been rather stressful lately so I am looking forward to a nice relaxing day.  

So, whatever your plans are; ENJOY!  Be Thankful and Be Grateful, we still have a choice how we will spend our day.

My Day in The Desert, which is "Home"

Gonna Be A HOT One Today! need to go to Costco, dumb day to go though - 1st of the month and holiday weekend, might just bite the bullet and do it anyway!

Back from Costco! WOW, it was not as bad as I anticipated. We were there with all the "OLD people", all the younger ones must be on their way to their vacation spot. Was able to escape there without having to mortgage everything, trying to keep Michael under control was another thing! He bought a fish with eyes, going to have it for lunch and not even chop its head off! YUK!! Red Snapper.

My Husband Michael states and I quote - "Today's main lunch entree: Grilled whole Snapper stuffed with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, cilantro and white wine infused garlic butter. Baste with garlic butter between turning and serving. I love a meal that looks you in the eyes while you eat it. MMMmm Good!"

Another Dining Experiment, have to admit - it was tasty!

An Ear of Corn with Bacon wrapped around it, in foil and placed on the Grill.

 OFF to the Races tomorrow, COLE (our 16 year old Grandson) Will be Racing his Car at Irwindale, CA, The whole family plus Friends will be there.  We will all be wearing Red, Black and White, his colors!

Have a Wonderful Weekend EVERYONE!
