Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I hope all my dear friends have a wonderful holiday weekend. Lots of turkey, pie and...maybe...a new baby girl! Thanks for being such great friends!

What I did in Germany...

My friend Debra got me hooked on the Twilight series of books. I could not put them down. Fortunately, I took the first two with me. Is there anything better than a great read and some awesome pastries??? I don't think so. Seriously, I will post more about the trip very soon. It was truly fabulous!

Germany, France and Switzerland

I'm heading out the door to take a much anticipated vacation to Germany with my husband. He's going on Army business and I'm tagging along. We will have 4 days for him to show me around (he lived there for 6 years) and I'll be on my own for 4 days. We will land in Frankfurt and then head to Stuttgart, visit the castle Disney was based on, visit the RitterSport chocolate factory, drive to Heidelberg and visit another castle and shop. While Don works, I'll take a train to Strasbourg, France and along the Alps to Geneva, Switzerland (shop, shop, shop) and then we will drive to the town of...Rothenburg (or something like that!) to visit some Christmas stores before we fly back home for the Holidays. I'm just so excited! I'll have lots to post when I return!
Oh yeah, one more thing..my friend Debra loaned me the Twilight series of books...if I get too involved (as she did)...I may not see anything in Germany but those fresh new pages!!!

Halloween

Just a quick upload of some Halloween photos. There's one of my work pals, one of my daughter and grandchildren and one of my daughter and cousins, Kendra and Natasha. We had a great time Trunk or Treating in Minneapolis, North Carolina!!!


My Cousin's Wedding

Last month I had the greatest time at my cousin's wedding. I flew to Chicago for the big event and stayed with my sister during this fun weekend. We began the festivities with awesome spray tans! If you haven't tried it you are missing an opportunity for the best tan ever - without damaging rays! We laughed, we ate and just basically had a fabulous time. Look at my handsome date - yes, that's my son, Matt, who accompanied me, along with my niece/goddaughter, Allison, and her boyfriend, Keith. Weddings - they are always delightful! Oh yeah...the girl in red...a bridesmaid who declares she wants to be my daughter-in-law! Good Times!
