Happy Thanksgiving to Canada!
I hope all of my resident canuck and all other Canadian’s are having a beautiful, and wonderful T’giving full of food, friends and family. Here’s wishing you nothing but good weather, happiness and a full belly. Did you know that upper Canada and lower Canada used to celebrate Thanksgiving on different days? Also, the date jumped around from November back to October until 1957 when it was declared to be the second Monday of October. It wasn’t even celebrated each year, which I find to be odd and shameful! It’s also believed that the southern neighbors who migrated north is what started the modern day celebrations. They used to come…

Weekend Plans
Another week over, another weekend in front of us. I like the way that happens. It is refreshing to push through several days, knowing that a break is near. Although, some don’t really have a set weekend, but we all hopefully have days off to give us a much needed reprieve from the responsibilities known as “adulting”. I enjoyed my 4 days offline, but did not accomplish too much around the house or online. Then I started this week off with a head cold which has kept me somewhat unreliable as far as staying online for longer than a couple of hours at a time. I did go shopping on…

A Plethora of Benefits
It seems that things get scattered across social networks and cam sites, and sometimes it is nice to just have it all in one spot. So, this is a thread to give you a list of the many member benefits that are offered by me, mostly through thelonestarangel.com but also on a couple other sites as well. First, my site is ONLY $15.95 for a few more hours. This is a special that has been running since last Wednesday and it is a ONE TIME offer of 6 weeks, instead of 4, giving you 2 FREE weeks. And, it should also be mentioned that a monthly membership is $19.95 for…

I LOVE Birthday’s!
It could be said that I love everyone else’s birthday more than mine, and it certainly is true about this one! It could also be said that I probably love this day so much because it was given to me by Dwwindsor. It turns out that he could take it or leave it so he gave it to me! At any rate, DW is celebrating the anniversary of his birthday and I just want to wish him a very happy one! It is a good day to have as a celebration. I look forward to hearing all about the planned festivities that we had to keep hush hush from you.

My Token Brit
WLTNBN – you are my token Brit and that is reason to celebrate your birthday! I hope that you enjoyed your day and that you celebrated in a way that made you smile. Which, knowing you, it was working on the remodel and being productive. Thank you for being mine and for sharing another year with me. Happy Birthday!

A Cook in Me!
I am starting to enjoy cooking, which is flabbergasting to me and you, alike! I just decided that it cannot be all that bad, and if I plan ahead it won’t consume most of my days. Last week I made pot roast, which took 20 minutes prep time and it turned out great! This week I am going to make chicken salad on Wednesday and during my time offline I am going to cook each day. I think I will do a pulled pork one day, but have not decided what will be on the menu for the rest of the week. At any rate, I will keep you apprised!…

My Time Offline
Okay, so I have decided to take some time offline next week and I am looking forward to it. I cannot recall a week where I have taken time to stay home and do nothing. Now with that said, I won’t be sitting around doing nothing, and I certainly won’t be playing Toy Blast since I finished the game last week. I will most likely spend a day working on my site, blogging, making new content, responding to emails and whatever else I have let slip lately. Then I hope to plant bulbs and do some stuff outside and maybe check out a new antique shop that I have not…

See you later, alligator. In a while, crocodile.
Have you ever wondered where this saying originated from? No? Well, I have and so that means I have looked into it and after much research, I have my report for you. In the 1950’s it was popular among the young generation and it was considered “cool” if they could turn a sentence into a rhyme. Which makes me think of the popular sitcom show Happy Days where Fonzie always rhymed his responses. It was sometimes annoying, but everyone seemed to love him. “See you later alligator. In awhile crocodile. Was a popular song written by a cajun singer/songwriter. It was about his girlfriend leaving him for another man, only to return…

What is Your Season?
We all have our favorites. It is what makes us who we are. Which season is the one that rejuvenates your soul, makes you smile and gives you reason to smile? For me it would be fall. There is something about the changing of temps, the rustling of leaves, the changing colors and the promise for a winter. I remember as a kid, stepping off of the school bus, walking into the house and Mom had every window open. It was a cleansing of the dust and heat from the summer, the smell of the crisp air and the hope for cooler days that always made me happy. The last…
