La Crema Wines: Naughty or Nice Giveaway

Can't decide if you're naughty or nice?

Thanksgiving 2009

If you haven't already thought about it please take the time today to consider what you are thankful for. The list doesn't have to be long. How about the fact you woke this morning in a quiet, comfortable room? No fears to ruin your day? I've got a 22 pound turkey waiting for me to roast. The girls are at the stage in life where friends mean more to them than family. So our family sit-down will be brief as they prepare to visit others. I'll enjoy the time together however brief.

I do miss the family get-togethers from years ago. Dressing up to travel to 40 miles into the Bronx to spend the day with the NYC relatives. Actually they are our only relatives. Three remain along with a few cousins and grand children.

Our family goes beyond blood. I can count my closest allies in Texas, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.Sending best wishes and good health to them too.

I'm cooking today because I enjoy cooking. I'm preparing dishes the girls and Bill enjoy. It's not going to be much as we're taking Bill out for his Birthday 11/30 and he wants ribs. So $$ food will be divided this week.

lunchtime -
Pigs n'blankets (mini)
Shrimp cocktail
cucumber salad
Ed's onion dip
sausage balls - maybe

Dinner
turkey
cranberry sauce
cranberry stuffing (we call it stuffing)
green beans
candied sweet potatoes (not canned)
smashed potatoes w/onion

dessert
Bill's apple pie
vanilla fruit parfait


I'm thankful I have a job, healthy children and a husband who values his family

November already...

Had a great trip to the November 1 Talladega Race. Enjoyed ourselves. Newman's accident was across the oval and seemed so far away from our seats. A consistent breeze kept our coats zipped up and us wishing for hot chocolate. It was great meeting up with the Weiners at the track. Hopefully we can do it again next summer in Bristol. Hoping #14 Tony Stewart makes it up to the top three.

Volunteered at the VLM this afternoon. The PEG (parenting educators group) is having a community family day event on November 14 @ Yates Elementary School. If you're in the neighborhood come by for lots of exhibits and fun.

Has Congress voted yet on the health care debacle? We're going from bad to worse I'm afraid.....

Saturday nite's alright for fightin'

It's definitely a fight to the finish tonight up in Richmond at RIR. Great nite for a race. I bet it's chilly up there. Not as cold as Las Vegas in February! The houe is quiet. So quiet I can hear you-know-who snoozing in his chair. Looking forward to the Talledega Race. Can't forget to pack my Tony Stewart shirt! This is the first year that my driver is actually in first place. I heard they're bringing the championship banquet to the left coast this year. The really big night will be in Las Vegas instead of NYC at the Waldorf. I always felt the bunch looked so out of place.

If you get the chance try chicken n'dumplings. I made it last night and everyone liked it. They'd have me make it again soon.

I'm sure the president has no knowledge of or condones the sleazy antics of his minions. Just like Dick Cheney didn't know his gun was loaded when he shot his buddy in Montana!

Cash for Clunkers!

Cash for clunkers...but if you're thinking of trading in your 1975 Chevy Impala with the major rust stripes think again. No cars over 25 years old. You'll have to consider a different way to get those clunkers out of your front yard.

Here's the link to get the FAQs....http://www.cars.gov

Maybe I should go down the street and put flyers on the windshields of al the Jag and Land Rover and Hummer owners. Hint, Hint
