November

(thanks Google images)

I like to think of November as the "Thankful" month.  I know I have a lot to be "thankful" for...my faith, my family and my friends just to name a few.  There is a whole heck of a lot that goes on in November!  So I'll remind you of a few! Get ready folks...You are going to be busy! 

• In the Christian calendar, November 2 is All Souls Day. It is known in Mexico as (Day of the Dead), and the whole month  is especially dedicated to praying for the dead. (I need all the prayers I can get!)
• November 10 is the birthday of the United States Marine Corps (I do love a good party!)
• The United States observes Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November (Pass the mashed potatoes please!)
• National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) (Who knew?)
• Holy Souls in Purgatory (You know who you are!)
• Sweet Potato Awareness Month (really?)
• No Shave November (Does this include underarms and legs?)
• Movember (I do love a man with facial hair!)
• A famous day for shopping known as "Black Friday". (Nope not me! All the wine in France tea in China will not get me out there!)
• Buy Nothing Day (I'm on it plus I'm broke!)
• Cyber Monday (can sometimes fall in December) (My FAVORITE Day with early morning wine coffee) 

So tell me...what are you "thankful" for?

Happy Halloween!

Now that I  am retired and have all the time in the world watching these two after school each day, The Little House is once again full of giggles and laughter! And today these ghouls precious ones will get here early!

 Little Girl is 9.

 Little Boy is 7.

 Both of them "love" Halloween! And so do I! This afternoon is going to be spooktacula! I have plans on scaring them to death some exciting things planned for them!  Candy corn may or may not be involved!

Have a wonderfully spooky kind of Halloween!

Gone But Not Forgotten...

Yesterday was a very sad day at The Little House.  We woke up to find our beloved Balto had passed away during the night.  No warning, nothing. He was the picture of health.  A sweet, loving and gentle soul.  Eleven years of joy is now gone.  Rest in Peace faithful friend. You will be greatly missed but not forgotten.

It's been awhile.

Hey Ya'll!

 Stopping by to shout say hello~

 And who knows...I will just may start writing Blogging again! 

Smooches!nng
