Do you have your tree up yet?  Today is my last free day at home for a while.  Oh, I will get a day here and there but tomorrow is back to work.  

I hope your wreath is up and your tree is decorated and that you will share pictures with us all on The Hill.  

What are your favorite colors for your Christmas tree?  I usually loved red and gold.  

Here is a picture of my newest nails... Stars for Christmas and Birthdays in Black and Gold.  Boy, that hand looks old... oh wait, it is old!

So for now, I will send Blessings & Hugs and see you again soon!  So thankful that you are my friend!

HI DEBIJO, WILL TRY AND GET TO YOU ON THE WEEKEND. BEEN SO BUSY , SUCH HUGE RAIN SROTM WE HAVE BEEN SUT OFF FROM THE REST OF CANADA, NO TRAIN OR ROAD SERVICE. JUST DEVESTATING. HOPE I CAN GET A TURKEY FOR CHRISTMAS. FLOOD HAS LEFT 36.000 CHICKEN AND TURKEY FARMS ALL UNDER WATER. JUST DEVESTATION. MAYBE SEE YOU ON THE WEEKEND. HUGS AND LOVE   MOE

I hope you are surrounded by friends and family and sitting at a table full of food giving off wonderful smells.  Dig in!  

Then sit back and nap and tell stories of years gone past.  Don't forget to call the ones that can't be there with you today!  

Have you got your exercise clothes on and ready to lose some weight before Thursday?  Me neither?  

How many will you gather with on Thanksgiving this year?  Since our friends didn't get to come over last Friday, we are trying again for Sunday to celebrate 2 birthdays, Hubby & Wendy!  

So we will be sending lots of Thanksgiving Hugs your way for a delicious and fun day.  

Share your smile with everyone everyday especially on Thanksgiving and count the Blessings and Hugs you get from friends and family!  

The weekend is here.  Are you ready for Thanksgiving?  We have a couple of things on our schedule for next week and then on the 30th, I start working about 4 days a week in December.  So please don't give up if I'm not here as much.  

Are you having Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie or Apple Pie or some other desert for Thanksgiving?  We usually get Pumpkin but this year we are getting Pecan.  

Guess I had better get ready for some football... college football that is.   Hope you have a wonderful and a blessed weekend!  

It was windy here the last 2 days... but it was also in the 80's.  At 3 am, the weather app on my phone said,  "There is a freeze advisory until 8 am Friday morning!"  WHAT? 

And next month I have to work.  That means driving in the dark as well as getting out in the weather.  WHAT?  

You have to be kidding me!  I live in Texas because I like it 80° or above and not below 50° for very long.  How many days until Spring?  

When we moved to the DFW area 18 years ago, I had seen snow twice in my life where I lived in South Texas down near Corpus Christi.  And I liked it that way... still do!

Just one more week.  Are you expecting company???  We might have friends show up this Friday for the day but don't expect anyone for next week.  

So I might be poppin' in at your house if I know you are cooking a delicious turkey.  

So remember to share your smile, make someone laugh, talk to a stranger, as you never know if God is trying to put them in your life for a reason.  We all need friends.  

Be a blessing and...

I 'm only doing a small turkey breast this year xo

Today is one of those days, not because of rain but because we started at 35 again today.  This is already the third time this month.  I am ready for spring, for flowers to emerge and bloom, and warm temperatures.  

How many days until Spring?  At least I haven't had to turn the heat on yet.  But my windows are not open either.  

So here I sit dreaming of the future.  Guess I had better get up and enjoy every minute of the day and celebrate Saturday with you.  

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your world with me.  

We had a good 'ole Texas thunderstorm last night with LOTS of lightning and thunder with wind and pouring down rain.  It only lasted 15-40 minutes depending on where you live in the metroplex but it dumped an inch or more of rain.  

Guess what it left behind?  That's right, lots of leaves to pick up, rake, or mulch with the mower.  It also left us with cooler temperatures again.  

My son's friend Paul, passed away yesterday.  I just want to say "Thanks for your prayers".  I am thankful my son got into Paul's room at the hospital to visit with his family.  

It is a dreary Fall day here.  We are due storms early tomorrow morning.  

We are supposed to go to dinner this evening with friends.  I sure don't enjoy driving after dark so wish us luck.  

So for now, I will just share the love that your friendship gives me and ask that you continue to smile with everyone you see.  

Just thought this should start out our month of Thanksgiving.  My goodness, we all have something we can be thankful for everyday if we just take the time to look around and think about it.  

And of course I have to tell you how much your friendship on the Hill means to me.  I had a rough day starting yesterday afternoon.  Please keep my son and his friend, Paul, in your prayers.  

You know how important your smile is to others as it lets your love shine.  And we all need that everyday, some days much more than others.  

Please have a gorgeous week and say thanks to those, like Doc Shell, and the many others that help us have beautiful tags, beautiful pages, and figure out how to navigate this most awesome place (thanks TC & EB) where we come and share with each other and become wonderful friends.  

BIG HUGS FOR YOU DEBIJO. HUGS, MOE

We have had frost 2 mornings in a row.  Some of my plants are NOT happy.  However, starting Sunday, we should be back in the 70's for almost a week with mostly 50's for lows.  

So here is to a beautiful day today and the entire weekend for you and me.  I will have to go check on some of my plants as soon as it warms up a bit more.  

Take time this weekend to stop and smell the flowers, share your smile with others, and know that I am sending you
