Where did November go?

I think I lost November....

I'm so behind with everything!

My oldest's birthday was the 10th

and I'm just now posting this! OY!

Well, better late than never ;)

So yes, my son's birthday was a few weeks ago.

We celebrated at John's Incredible Pizza.

We always have a great time there.

Besides the games they also have a few rides.

Like Bumper Cars

Melissa, Tracy, Brandon (birthday boy) and Tanya

Tanya

Melissa, Brandon and Tracy

I think he's having a good time, huh?

Trying to catch these guys as they fly around is no easy task!



All done

Cody and TJ

Stick 'em up!

LOL that's it reach for the sky!

I was able to get them as the Twister ride ended...

not that I didn't try while they were spinning..

We all ate tooooo much..

(well, what do you expect when you have a pizza buffet

with all you can eat!!! LOL)

And had a great time ☺

Happy Thanksgiving!

TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,

BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP.

I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,

I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.

THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -

THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE,

BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION

WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT.

TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION,

THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.

SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR,

AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.

GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,

PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.

I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,

'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.

I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING, FLOATING INTO THE SKY,

WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.

BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....

HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,

MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.

MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP.

MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS.

MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,

MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!

Etsy Treasury

Desert Shine Jewelry included my Snow and Ice Holiday Decor

in her Let It Snow Treasury!

Thank you!

Here are a few other things I've made recently

that are available in my Etsy Shop:

Snow Queen Fairy

Altered Bottles



I Shot a Pheasant!!

Ewww, no not like that!!

On the back roads to Turlock,

 in a certain bend in the road

there seems to be a new resident.

He's been there each time I go by for the past week.

See he's right there across the road.

A Pheasant!

The first I've ever seen.

He is SO PRETTY!

He doesn't seem to afraid of people.

Good thing he is in a protected area....

Protected from guns...but not cars.

Sure hope he's careful when he crosses the road

into Hatfield State Park.

On this same day a Coyote crossed the road right in front of me!

I tried to get a photo,

but he was haulling a$$!

I love nature and

get so excited when I see the locals ;)

Handpicked on Etsy!

In The Hammock Vintage chose one of my votive holders

for her Miss Audrey Treasury,

items inspired by the fabulous Audrey Hepburn.

What a fun theme!

Thanksgiving Smileys

Nothing cuter/funnier than Smileys ♥

Enjoy!

Not much to show this week.

BUT I did find more windows!

Aren't they adorable?

This is the style I had growing up on the farm.

I think I may do something with them in the gazebo ;)

Now I can't wait til Spring to get them up!!
