Thanksgiving 2007

We're So Thankful!

We were able to travel to Ohio
and spend Thanksgiving with my sister.

I didn't realize how much I missed being with family on the holidays!

Above is the gorgeous table she set for the occasion.

Her hubby's family also joined us for the feast!

It was a great time and awesome food!!! YUMMY!!!

Here is Uncle Steve with his nieces (this was brave for a dad of all boys!!!)

I've never been a big "spring-time" cleaner ...
but I LUH-UV to get things clean in the fall!

I think it must be knowing that the amount of daylight is getting shorter
and that snow is coming soon

I love getting all the spices cleared out ... old ones tossed and saved ones organized

lining up the flavors of teas I have in baskets
hot cocoa and marshmallows out and ready

Winter is coming!!!!!!

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Blah Blah Blah!

Money Stinks!

Unfortunately, we find ourselves needing a bit more than we are currently finding in the bank account on paydays ...

so I applied for a job.

Actually, it seems pretty cool and rather interesting.
It's at a jewelry servicing store.

They are supposed to call me in a few days.

I hate zee waiting! :)

In an attempt to better understand the smoky air
those back home in Southern California
recently found themselves breathing ...

we fired up the heater tonight

mmm ... the smell of burned dust
(cough)

I love autumn!

The colors amaze me every year!
