Anniversary party

Dennis and I had a small party last night to celebrate the anniversary of being together 20 years.  I was 19 and in my second year of college when we met.  He was 25.  We met at a party in mid-November and had our first date 11/21/89.  A lot has changed since that fateful day 20 years ago.  But the one thing that hasn't changed, is that we're still crazy about each other.  Thank you to those who were able to join us for the celebration last evening.  We've graduated from a keg to a pitcher of Sangria and shots of Jack Daniels.  We had a blast. 

One more day of work and we are on vacation until Monday the 30th.  Tuesday morning, we're throwing the dogs in the motor home and taking off for Temecula, CA.  We're meeting some friends' there and staying at the home of one of them's mother.  We are really looking forward to not only the journey but the destination.  We love Temecula and are excited to go back after nearly 3 years.  We are planning to come home on Saturday, in advance of the Thanksgiving traffic rush.

We'll be making a trip to Ohio in a couple of weeks as well.  We're visiting to meet our new nephew Knox, and to celebrate my parents' 40th wedding anniversary.  We're also planning to celebrate an early Christmas with both of our families.  Please order some warm weather for us, family and friends in Ohio!!

Thanks for all of your support of my Examiner.com writing.  I had a fantastic month in October with over 15,000 pages views.  I've exceeded 8,000 so far this month.  I've been slow to add new content this month with so much that's been going on.  I'm hoping to post something on the way to California, or shortly after arriving.  Please continue to visit my site often.  The link is to the left.

We hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday.  Let us not lose sight of all of the people and things for which we are thankful.

Almost the weekend

It's Wednesday and I want to make a quick post.  We were out to Roosevelt Lake this past weekend with a bunch of Glampers.  It was a great time.  It was chilly and a little damp on Saturday, but we enjoyed the company, good food, and fabulous campfires!!

We had no electricity except when the generator was running, and we had no cell service.  I was able to receive a text message Saturday morning letting me know that Knox had arrived.  Congratulations Lyn, RJ and Lylah!!!  We love you guys!!

The above picture was taken by our friend Jim as we were leaving Sunday morning.  I thought it was a pretty cool picture. Enjoy!

Hump Day

It's Wednesday evening, and I just uploaded a bunch of pictures to Facebook.  I also added a Picasa album to the left from our trip to McDowell Mountain Regional Park a couple of weeks ago.  It was so amazing out there. I'm going to write an Examiner article about that place very soon.

I would encourage you to continue to visit my Examiner link to the left.  If you subscribe to e-mail on the site, you'll get an e-mail whenever I publish a new article.  For the 2nd month in a row, my link was included in Good Sam Club's CyberSam newsletter.  Last month, I got over 15,000 page views.  So far this month, I have over 6,000.  While this isn't enough on which to quite my job and live, it is a great start!!  And I appreciate your continued support! 

Saturday was Halloween, and I took a couple of cute pictures of the boys in their Halloween costumes.  They had them on just long enough for me to snap the picture.  Clothing of any sort acts as a straight jacket to them, and they freeze up.  Sure wish I could have taken them trick-or-treating in their little suits!!

We're heading North this weekend.  I hope everyone has a great weekend!
