Another Anniversary to Celebrate!
Oh, I do love me some birthday’s, preferably someone else’s. Today we celebrate my longest running member, @Outlawjj2000 (if you are on Twitter, send him a shout out for me, if you please), and he is a good one to recognize. Looking back over the years of blog posts that have been an ode to Outlaw, I found this, which I feel is worth another share. I have watched you go from a home body to our social butterfly with a full weekend calendar. I love your singles mixer events and cigar socials and I always want to hear the details, although, I am certain you hold back sometimes; which…

November Feels
It is widely known that November is my absolute favorite month; there is no comparison. It brings cooler temps, gloomy weather, and the changing of colors before they quickly fade into the earth. It’s a cycle and this gives way to the rebirth that will come in the spring months, but for now we enjoy the end of the blooming series and look towards winter days. It’s a time when I wish our days would slow down and give us a chance to truly appreciate what we have because soon it will be December and then a new year. You may think that my love for November is all about…

All About You
Yesterday I posted details on what’s new and what’s been going on with me, and today I’d like to hear from you. In the event you are drawing a blank, or you just simply don’t chat much, allow me to give you some topics for you to choose from. lol. What is new with you? A new job, a car, moving, a vacation or a new dog/cat? Maybe you’ve adopted an Elephant from the David Sheldrick Foundation? Which season is your favorite? Do you like Winter because it’s not hot, or maybe the spring because it brings new life? Are you a summer person because you like swimming and all…

Checking in With You
I have been unsuccessful at creating an aspiring title for this post, so the title says exactly what I am thinking… kind of. Truthfully, I’ve been uninspired for posts as of late, most likely due to the chaotic nature of my time off of cam, but nonetheless, the blog has been dismal and I hope to change that soon. Although that is a promise I have made in the past and then I slip after a couple weeks. Maybe that can be a goal of the new year; not a new year’s resolution because I swore those off many moons ago, but to have goals is healthy (much like having…

The Meaning of Halloween
I love this time of year and to say that Halloween makes me happy is an understatement. Halloween means that Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away and that is truly my reason for this post. You probably thought I was going to enlighten you as to the actual origin of Halloween, or all Hallows eve. Or, maybe I was going to mention that this “holiday” was created hundreds of years ago when the Saints would dress up and go door-to-door, thus trick or treating, while wearing costumes in modern day celebrations. Although all good stuff, leads to more good stuff, and ends on Thanksgiving. So yeah, Halloween has all…

Where’s the Beef?!?
Remember the old lady that yelled, “Where’s the beef?” throughout the 80’s? What about “Vern, Vern, Vern”? That guy always made me laugh. Did you ever think about pulling up to a stop light, rolling down your window, while gesturing to the car next to you to do the same, just to say, “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?” While I’m walking down this lane of memories, what commercials will you forever remember because of good marketing?

The Morning Moon
We are on our way to Twin Falls, leaving our house at 430a and as we drive over the mountains and through the valleys, the morning moon is following us. It’s a beautiful sight that normally is lost while we sleep. This morning, however, I’m taking it all in, with autumn clouds and skies that are slowly waking up, the moon is shining bright and beautiful. Experiencing the world coming to life is breathtaking and I’m glad that I am awake to witness it. Abby, on the other hand, has been sleeping in between hugs. She did wake up long enough to ride through town with her head out the…

My Bonus Birthday
Today is another birthday, and one that was “given” to me as a gift. Let me explain. Looking back in my blog history, it appears that 2014 was the first year that I took today to celebrate Dwwindsor. Now, let me elaborate on that year. He was somewhat new to our group, and because I have a terrible time keeping track of who joined during which year, I’m going to say he was in between Red and MtnMan, which would put him in the group around late 2011 to early 2012, but really, I could be making that up. Anyway, that is taking away from this post, so let me…

Do You Know What Today Is?
Today is a good day for a birthday! Please join me in wishing Red a happy birthday. He has been such a huge ally, a loyal Monday night voter and a great friend for many years. I am guessing he joined the group around 2011, possibly earlier, and has remained steadfast in his support, no matter his busy life that is nothing short of chaos. I mean, between saving the burning orphanages, his “trap line” and keeping all of their names straight, he still manages to make time for me. Thank you Red, and here is wishing you a wonderfully happy birthday.

Candy Corn is a Weakness
I always buy a bag of candy corn after October 1st. It’s a rule. Never before the month of October… until this year. I don’t know what I was thinking, other than the fact that if I were to wait, I might not find a bag on, or after, October 1st and in a spontaneous fit, I snatched the bag up and threw it in the cart. That was fine and dandy, except I opened the bag as soon as we got home and ate handfuls of them while putting groceries away. In the 3 days since, I have ate 3/4 of the bag and I have already put “Candy…
