Happy Thanksgiving!!
Greetings, family and friends!
This year marks the 20th anniversary of my annual, “I’m Thankful For…” list. Quite a milestone! I have several milestones this year. My husband proposed to me the weekend after Thanksgiving, 30 years ago. I’ve been at my place of employment for 10 years. We celebrated my mom’s 10th year cancer free. Both of my nieces celebrated their children’s 1st birthdays. Did you celebrate any milestones or achievements this year? What about all those seemingly insignificant things that you take for granted. The things that make up your day. Do you ever stop to celebrate those? Now is the perfect time of year to do that, don’t you think?
Let’s get started;
I am thankful/grateful for;
French vanilla creamer in my coffee
Stories – verbal, short or novels
Music from the 70’s
OMG Twins! - again!!!
Choices
Bluetooth hearing aids –music at work is a lot more fun now
Kindness
Gel pens – lots and lots of gel pens
Funko-Pop
Autumn leaves
Sunshine that sparkles on the snow
Technology
Hobby Lobby, for SO MANY reasons
Extroverts
Sweet Tart jelly beans – thankfully, only available at Easter!!
Mosquito repellant
Extra creamy, gooey mac n cheese
Photographs
Fresh food
Backyard birdfeeders
Tomato soup
People that smile a lot and laugh easily
Weekend getaways
Every day, I’m thankful for my job, dependable transportation, a place to kick my shoes off at the end of the day, more than I need and everything I want. Every day I’m profoundly thankful for my family – diverse, wacky, challenging at times and all mine. Even the furry ones! I’m so thankful for the endless patience and love of my husband. He still makes me laugh more than anyone else. My life is amazingly blessed every single day. I bet yours is too.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
Life is full of joy – Bee Happy!

whew!
Thank heavens! The political season is finally over. It was like some crazy 24/7 soul consuming disorder. Ewwwww. Even if you weren't a news watcher, it was impossible to avoid. Ugh. Movin' on....
In October, the most wonderful husband on the planet, seriously, let me drag him up to South Bend to see Garth Brooks in concert. It was a big deal because Notre Dame has never done anything but football in their stadium. Naturally, when they decided to have concerts in the stadium, they had to think "who could fill this stadium?" because it's 85 THOUSAND seats!!! Well, who else...Garth Brooks that's who! I've seen him several times in concert so I don't have to see him again. But...it was Notre Dame. It was an inaugural concert. It was 85 THOUSAND people. Yep. Had to go.
Notre Dame is a 3 hour drive. It was windy and cold and raining the whole way up. Walking the mile from the parking lot to the stadium, we were rained on, hailed on and sleeted on. While we were waiting inside the concourse of the stadium, it snowed. Not just flurries either. It was like a blizzard for about 15 minutes. The show was delayed 40 minutes. By the time it started it was still super windy and 42 degrees out. Oh yeah, in case you don't know, Notre Dame is an outdoor stadium. It was epic.
The other big factor was, CBS was filming the concert, which will air on December 2nd. So, here are my likes and dislikes. Going to a concert that's being filmed, is weird. Several times during the show we, the fans, were asked to; cheer louder, clap louder, do the wave, sing it again, sing it again louder, sing it again with the emphasis on the last note, and more. While that was interesting, it made this concert my least favorite, ever. It took so much away from the performance. Part of his appeal is his genuineness, oh and haminess :-) Both of those were missing. I didn't like it. And 3 hour drive home at 11:00 at night was brutal! BUT...every time I've seen him, it's been the 2nd show or the 3rd or 4th night. This was a 1 time gig so his voice was fantastic. I've never heard him sound so great, live. It was awesome! I'm glad we went, but we are just this side of too old for epic shit.
