Thanksgiving Notes

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! I hope you have a great day surrounded by friends and family and that, despite the economic situation, you have plenty to be thankful for today.

We had our Thanksgiving 5 or 6 weeks ago, so today is a regular day for me. I didn’t get a chance to write yesterday, but had lots of fun babysitting my two great-nephews. With the help of my little sister, I walked/strolled them all the way (it was a fair distance) to the adventure playground park where I used to take my kids. We got all the way there and discovered the adventure playground was GONE. Only the swingsets remained. You could have knocked me over with an ice cube. I have no idea what happened to the playground. I loved taking my boys there when they were little. Luckily, the great-nephews were happy with just the swings, although the oldest (3) insisted that he get to ride in the stroller on the way back, and the 20-month-old walked verrrrrrrrrrrryyy slowly. But they were so cute! And, yes, the cutest part was getting to give them back. đŸ˜‰

If you haven’t entered my BOX ‘O BOOKS HOLIDAY GIVE-AWAY yet, there’s still time. I’m taking entries until midnight, Sunday, November 30th, and I’ll contact the winner December 1st for her/his snail mail address so I can mail out the books ASAP. However, I won’t announce the winner on the blog until Wednesday the 3rd, as author J.L. Miles is blogging Tuesday, and I’ll be telling you all about her book, DIVORCING DWAYNE, on Monday.

Oh, and if anyone noted the other day before I edited the post that Susan Lyons’s guest blogging date was listed for December 9th, due to unforeseen circumstances, Susan will now be blogging Wednesday, December 10th. Hope to see you there!
