The UnTurkey Thanksgiving
No, not because we have become vegans or something like that.
I'm pretty sure this is the first time in my life when I haven't been with family on Thanksgiving.
In the past it has always been shared with my Mom's family. Last year was Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary.
But with The Husband's work schedule and other issues, there was no big gathering.
After a day spent alone...............I went to the neighbors for a few hours.
Bless her heart, she's not exactly a chef............while trying to baste her turkey in the oven with a stick of butter......(??????) it fell over and.............well.........let's just say there was enough smoke in the house for coughing and alarms.
Meanwhile the dogs and kids and were hitting decibels beyond belief...............
When dinner was on the plates............I don't remember what it tasted like.........too much mayhem
There was supposed to be a "redo" with Parents, Lil Bro and The Husband tomorrow, but Lil Bro is sick and so we will reschedule.
With The Husband at work the last three days........................I was bored.
But my Christmas decor is well on it's way.....
But....................I need my turkey.............I love turkey.

Thanksgiving Travel
When I think Thankgiving long weekend, I think about how thankful I am that I never have to endure holiday travel.
It's enough to experience it vicariously through this Classic...............

Dancing With the Stars - Results
"What do you think of the season as a whole?"
That's what The Husband asked me.
Slow start..........................good finish.
That's what I think.
To begin with................as a child of the 70's..............
Donnie is the man. Though he wasn't at the top of my heart throb list.........he was on it, and he was just so...........nice.
On the extreme far end..............Kelly Osborne comes from the drugged out.....burned out parents of the 70's rock movement. If you ever watched the Osbornes reality show........you understand what she is coming from. Kelly is the Redemption story. She makes me want to root for her.................and I think Lynn agrees.
Mya................well she has the most direct experience, and she is by nature, the best dancer.
But as we all know, the best dancer doesn't always win.
For the first time...........whoever wins is okay by me.
Mya...............the best dancer................
Donnie............the Entertainer.............the heartthrob peer of mine..................
Kelly................the girl who found a new life for herself and a new SELF.
Who should win?????????????????
On paper...................Mya
In reality................................
The winner is.............
not Kelly............
Not Mya..................
DONNIE OSMOND.................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Young Love...............first love...................
filled....................with deep devotion......................

Meet the Girl
Oh the trial and tribulations of bringing a furry friend into your home.
Ups and downs, but mostly ups................
She is the hit of the neighborhood.................all the folks with psycho dogs want to trade.
World Wide Web....................meet Bessy.

She is a Colorado dog............
She likes the snow as much as I do.
She is a sweety girl. And yes, ScooterGirl, you are going to love her.
I will tell the "tail" of how Miss Bessy came to live with us.
I ask her everyday....................."Are you a dog or an angel?"
One more photo.

The Catch Up Post
Been preoccupied for a few weeks.................reasons to follow. So to catch up........here's some "things".
Happy with the final three on Dancing With the Stars. I am usually thoroughly annoyed when people who are not as good dancers hang on, only because of their popularity with the fans. In a case of complete opinion reversal. I'm glad Mya, (clearly the best dancer, and deserves to win) Donnie (can we call him Don now? He's my age!) and Kelly (the surprise of the season) are the three for the finals.
Joanne (who is this chick) was clearly a better dancer than Kelly or Donnie but.................who is this chick?
Looking forward to the finals.
Since we last spoke (posted) we've had yet another November snow storm. This one hit last weekend and we got about six inches. Still hasn't melted yet. We are way up for the year and month. Harbinger of things to come?
I got a new camera, because I had dropped the previous one so many times in 4 years that it gave up the ghost. Still learning the ins and outs of the new one, but photos to follow.
It's Birthday month in The Chick's family. Mom and little Bro have November b-days and so does Dad. Throw in Thanksgiving and parent's anniversary...........the Hallmark people are raking it in right before
Christmas.
AND..........the source of all the preoccupation..................
The Husband finally got his wish.....................
We have acquired a ........................dog. Yes, I can hear both the groans and cheers all the way here. I don't think a week has gone by since our wedding 7 years ago when The Husband has not mentioned getting a dog. And yes, we had a disastrous month a few years ago with a pound black lab who was "She Who Must Not Be Named."
This time has been infinitely better, but not without it's bumps.
So.................photos will follow of our new furry companion..................Bessy.

Over at Big Hollywood, there is a post about the 10 best Marine movies of all time. Don't know if I agree with the list..............but here it is.
Semper Fi!
