Is this real?

I found this awesome instrumental musical video on YouTube! Check it out - it's awesome! And yes it's REAL!

Happy Thanksgiving! & Birthday!

My family came to our home for the first time this Thanksgiving! I prepared the turkey with one of those Reynold's cooking bags. It was tender and juicy and just right! The potatoes and gravy were perfect and the whole meal experience was superb! We also celebrated my husband's birthday today complete with a 51 flaming candle salute on top of a cherry torte. He was surprised! Our family ate until full, played games, ate some more, watched the movie "RV" with Robin Williams, ate some more, visited, ate some more and eventually went home very full and happy. It was a great "TURKEY" day!!!

Turkey

My family is coming to my house this Thanksgiving and I have never fixed a turkey. HELP! We have always traveled for Thanksgiving and went to our parents home. Mom always fixed the turkey and dressing and gravy but now it's my turn. I guess instead of taking the "bull by the horns" I'll be taking the "bird by the wings" and tying on the apron strings and getting to work. Wish me luck!

First Measurable Snow!

My son, Caleb, won the snow contest at school by guessing the date of the first measurable snowfall. He won an Iowa Hawkeye hat, nice gloves and a gift certificate to Wendy's. Good guessing Caleb!

Our 24th Anniversary

My husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary this year! We went out to eat, took in a movie and just enjoyed each other's company. Cards and a box of chocolate covered cherries completed the evening. No gifts we had decided. We are trying to save up for something special next year on our 25th! Maybe a cruise or a trip to somewhere special. After all - it's quite a landmark to reach 25 years of wedded bliss in this day and age. I love you dear!
