Friday Already

The week has passed really fast and I feel like I've accomplished a good bit.  This morning it's rainy here in Alabama.  I have the blinds open and it's very overcast and cloudy but  there is a big tree in the school yard  across the street and it still has the most beautiful leaves ..in shades of orange, yellow and gold..I have enjoyed it so much and sure hate to see it lose all its leaves..then it will be bare and depressing.  One very nice thing about this complex are all the beautiful trees and I have had a spectacular color palette to watch.

Go get you some coffee or coke or whatever because I have lots to share with you today.

First is a wonderful award I received from Dinphy I am so honored and want to say a big thanks to her for thinking of me for this.  Dinphy has a wonderful Blog and some beautiful free things.

TRADITIONS

Good Morning Everyone..I seem to be late again..my intentions are to get my blog posted first thing and darn I'm always behind for some reason or another. I was reading some blogs earlier and one was about traditions.

That got me to thinking about Thanksgiving traditions and realized my family doesn't have one..We used to but down thru the years it changed..

When my Grandmother was alive she cooked Thanksgiving Dinner every year.  She cooked so much food..you would have thought she was going to feed an army instead of 6!!! She always had Turkey and Dressing and one other kind of meat..fried chicken, or roast usually. Then she cooked at least 2 of each of our favorites..mine was fried okra and creamed corn.We always had some kind of congealed salad, green salad, cranberry sauce, and giblet gravy to go with everything else.

Granny always cooked deserts..pies and cakes but by that time we were all so full we had to force down a dessert LOL..I loved to spend the night before Thanksgiving with them.  We went to Thanksgiving Services at Church.  When we got home Granny would change her dress and get out her apron and one for me and we would start cooking...cornbread for the dressing the next day, making the congealed salad..and some of the desserts. My granddad would go to bed by 9 and we stayed up late..The next morning we got up early and my granddaddy and I would watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade.I so remember those days and wish I could have just one Thanksgiving back.

After Granny passed away my mother started cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for everyone..eventually it got down to me, Lori Mother and Daddy for dinner..Cathy had moved away, the boys always went to their other grandmothers.

After my dad died mother cooked a few years and then the 3 of us started going out to eat.  I cooked several years but never established any kind of tradition.

This year Angie and her family are here and she is coming down the day after Thanksgiving and is going to cook lunch for us at my moms house..sounds like a fun day and I'm looking forward to it.

It sure would be nice of some of you would share your thanksgiving traditions with us.

Just a few reminders then some eye candy...

My new kits are still on sale. I hope you have a look at them in my store.  The DSO Challenges are in full swing so please head over there and submit a page to my Photo Op Challenge.

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I feel like an icicle this morning.  It was below freezing last night and I turned my heat on for the first time this year. I did wake up burning up and had to turn it off again..I just can't breathe when its too hot.

My apartment is really warm and most days and nights I have the window open a bit.  I stay very warm and sometimes I even turn on the fan..Now if you could see my living room, you would see that not all of my family agrees with me...there are big furry comforters, not throws, I mean full size comforters everywhere and they wrap up like Eskimos. I tell them to put on more clothes if they are cold..I sure can't take off any to cool off..LOL

We had Kaylen with us this weekend..She has grown since I saw her last and just gets more precious and beautiful as she gets older.  She's such a good baby, but this weekend she was a bit fussy.  She's cutting her first tooth and that just meant I had to hold her and love on her more to make it better...along with lots of Orajel. I was so carried away with her I forgot to make new pictures...I would think about it but never went and got the camera

You know I told ya'll what a big Auburn fan I am and how our biggest rival is Alabama...WELLL--Kaylens mom appears to be an Alabama fan and she made this picture..

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this..How could she do that to my poor baby...LOL Her daddy and I are going to get her an Auburn outfit to wear when she is here..The big game is weekend after next and people are already getting geared up..we haven't lost in 6 years but this has been the worse season we have had in years and years so I am not going to do much bragging...just a lot of praying...

Forgot to mention yesterday that the November Challenges are up at DSO.  Mine is the Photo Op Challenge.  Pop on over there are work on the challenges, you will be well rewarded with some awesome posting bonus's  here's a preview of mine for this month.

Help me out folks I have no takers so far this month.

I promised you some more eye candy today and I have a good many to show you so get comfortable.

Sue, my newest CT Member, worked overtime while my Computer was down..she sent me so many beautiful layouts I'm showing them to you is parts..

NO JOKES, NO GAMES NO GIMMICKS.....I'M BACK

  WooHoo..its been a  long time since October 14, when I last posted to my blog...I have missed all of you and was almost ready for the nut house, thank goodness they got my computer fixed, but then the Internet was down for a few days.

I was so upset but I used the time to finish some Word Art sets I had already started and did some new ones also.  I don't think we realize how addicted we are to our computers or how often we need them for something until we don't have one.  I was really upset that I missed Kims birthday sale and her Birthday Surprise us CT members had for her..thank goodness we figured she would have another big birthday bash sale this year so we made her kit in October..and managed to keep it a secret too...she was really surprised..and I'm so glad my part was done and posted for download...I really want to thank Paula for posting my blog for me..she called me to get my blog info..

BIG BIG Happy Belated Birthday to you, my dear friend, hope you had a wonderful day and that this year will be your happiest one yet..I love ya
