December update


It's Sunday following a fantastic weekend. We are in Toledo visiting and Friday, George had his annual holiday party. It was a great time, despite the bitter cold! Saturday morning, Dennis and I headed to Williams County to go to my parents' house. We had lunch, took pictures and then had our Christmas celebration. At 4, it was off to mass to celebrate mom and dad's 40th Wedding Anniversary. It was a nice mass. Afterwards, we went back to the house and a big spread was waiting for us. Aunt Shirley is the BEST!  We had a terrific prime rib with baked potatoes, green bean casserole and biscuits. It was delicious! Aunt Shirley also made a very nice cake to celebrate the occasion. I've posted pictures in an album to the left.

Today we hung out with my family. Grandma and Pete came over and we got to visit with them. Uncle Bryce was there for a while. Aaron headed home and Aunt Marie and Uncle Jim stopped by. It was really great to see everyone. Dennis and I headed back to Toledo after dark. When we arrived, we went to dinner with George and Jerry, then came back and watched a movie. It's almost time to go to bed so we can spend the day with the Taylor girls tomorrow. We're here until Tuesday morning, then it's back to sunny Arizona. We miss our puppies most of all!

Pictures from the weekend are to the left. Enjoy!!

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.
