Bunco Fun

Well I didn't win big but I had a great time. Renee did a super job on the food and the gifts. Thanks for hosting. Can't wait until next month for our Christmas Party Bunco.

BUNCO NIGHT

Yippee. I love Bunco. This is the second group I have played with and I love it. It is a great night out, good food, great friends and Bunco is a game you do not have to think about as you play. (unless you are the table scorekeeper) Last month I had the most buncos (which gets the best prize) Keep your fingers crossed that my "winning streak" from last month will continue tonight.

Thank you to all the Veterans

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. The eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour. This date marked the unofficial end of WWI and was orginally called Armistice Day. We should all take time to thank those that have and still are serving our country so we can be free. My father and Paul's father were both Veterans of WWII. They both served their country. We were so fortunate that they were able to return home to their families so many were not that fortunate. God Bless each and every one and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I found a picture of my Daddy and Papa in their uniforms. They were two very brave men.

In the Christmas Spirit

Paul picked me up in Jackson after Mistletoe and we had "date night" Of course we started out at Bass Pro Shop (a man's version of MM)for a little shopping. We stopped by the new Sam's in Pearl and then made a quick trip to find an Office Max. Dinner was at O'Charlies and then we saw the new Christmas Carol Movie
It was so good. We even wore our 3D glasses

Aren't we the a sight. 3D was so realistic you felt like you could reach out and grab the snowflakes. Of course both of us, took off our glasses to see what the difference was, blurry images. Oh well it was fun.

Mistletoe Magic

What a great day. The decorations were prettier than they have been in many years. I loved all the teal and silver. I bought a few Christmas presents and had a great time with Betzebe, Bert and Carolyn. Of course my camera battery died and I only got 2 pictures. :(

It's Mistletoe Day

Yippee! It is my favorite day for shopping. (yes even better than Friday after Thanksgiving) Betzebe should be arriving any minute to pick me up. I can't wait. I'll post more about what I goodies I found. See ya

ALL SAINTS DAY

It's been almost 10 months since Papa died. Sunday was All Saints Day at Parkway Heights UMC. How fitting that the celebration was on the actual All Saints Day.
Dianne J. lit a candle in Papa's memory. She picked the tallest candle in the arrangement. Is anyone surprised?

It was a lovely ceremony and our entire family was there for the event. I think Papa would have been pleased

A Day at the Deer Camp

Saturday the boys had planned to head out for an early squirrel hunt but a little bug delayed the trip to an afternoon of fun. Here they are ready to head off to the swamp. I hear they saw a "gator" and of course Duke and Annabelle came home "dog tired" Sorry I couldn't resist the pun.

Halloween Fun

I love to decorate for any holiday. Paul used to say he was afraid to stand still for too long, because I might decorate him. ha! I had the best time setting the table for Halloween.
We spent Halloween Weekend in Hattiesburg and Matt, Mark and Lauren joined us. Annabelle and Duke had matching costumes.They are of course super dogs!

CANDY CORN KISSES

Have you seen the latest in Hershey's Kisses? Candy Corn, really they are just white chocolate with candy coloring. They taste like white chocolate to me, but they do have an aroma that reminds me of candy corn. Well once I bought a bag, now I had to "bake" something with them. I tried adding them to the tops of my butter cookies. (hint: add after baking the cookies, I tried baking them and the tips turned brown). See what you think.
