Thanks-giving.
If you are a US reader, you're probably not reading this today. Happy Thanksgiving. If you are a non-US reader, happy thanks-giving to you too.
Keeping it short and sweet. It's time to eat.
President Eisenhower, 1953
My boys opted for no bowties this year.
Looks like Ike served his family turkey, salt and pepper. Yummy feast.
Words to Ponder:
"Don't assume you're always going to be understood. I wrote in a column that one should put a cup of liquid in the cavity of a turkey when roasting it. Someone wrote me that 'the turkey tasted great, but the plastic cup melted.' "

WHAT I LIKE ABOUT ME:
The JOY Journal holds your daily joy droppings, quotes that speak to you, books you want to read, movies you want see, songs that grab you, things you want to do, AND "Things I Like About Me."
The more you do it, the easier it gets. The more you like you, the happier you are. Try it. All of life is an experiment. Many did not believe me on this one until they started in. Now they believe!
;)
What I like about me...
* I can drive until the tank is empty, without having to stop to empty my bladder. (What? Is that TMI?)
* I am thankful every day.
* I give out hugs and kisses.

T-shirt wisdom:
In Dog Beers, I've only had one
With Enough Thrust, Pigs Fly Just Fine
I Have Parenting Down to a Science. Every day's an experiment.
Life is short. Buy the shoes.
I would never call myself a Princess. I have people for that.
Just call me Butter 'cause I'm on a roll
Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by again?
