Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I probably have said that before, but it is true. I love the fall season. I love big family gatherings. I love food. And Thanksgiving is lots less stressful than Christmas. I don’t even mind the all the planning and cooking – it is quality time with Mom, although, we will probably disagree on how long to cook the pecan pies or something silly. Still, it is good. My sister will want to decorate elaborately – it is easier to let her have her way than to argue with her. Besides, it keeps her busy and is one less opinion to deal with on the pecan pies. Personally, I’m not big on decorating – cloth napkins are too much for me. If it were up to me, I would do Chinet plates. Spending time with family is better than spending time washing dishes – my philosophy. I also want to mention that in past years I have never been bothered by stores putting out Christmas stuff early, but this year it bothers me. I have seen more houses with their Christmas decorations already up and more stores pushing Christmas than ever before - What's up with that!" It's Thanksgiving!
I may head to WF this afternoon to help with the shopping and maybe shop for some new hiking/tennis shoes. I don’t do Black Friday, but I do need some new shoes. The truth is that I just get too excited to stay home – I need to be where the action is. There is some action going on around my house – we are laying block for the foundation of our addition.
This is pretty exciting for me, but not something that I can help with. I will be more help with the framing. And I can’t wait!
I can blog from Mom’s and I probably will, but for now I will say Happy Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey and pie.

Jesse’s blog – one of my favorites from her Paris pics (you can see more at her blog).
Here is my cactus to prove that I don’t kill every plant I own, and sometimes they even bloom – if you leave them alone.

Yup, me too. The Christmas decorations seemed to come out really early this year... ENMU put its Christmas lights out last week, as a matter of fact. Too early.
Random miscellaneous thought: I threw out an old, old Christmas Cactus that I'd nurtured for well over ten years in 1999's Great Going Out of Bid'niz Sale. Broke my heart, that did... The thing was huge and much loved.
That's a pretty cool looking bike Jess is standing beside. I love big singles.
Happy Thanksgiving to all at The Lazy B!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all, too. Sounds wonderful, my favorite holiday, too. Love the Christmas cactus. My mom had one in an old tub and I took a cutting and carried it all over the U.S. when we went to Bolivia I mailed it to Joanna in Austin and she kept it up. It finally died on one of our trips to Canada one time. So sad. I think my sister still has some of it, I need to get some. Thanks for posting today! Hugs.
.... I love Thanksgiving, but it is still my second favorite holiday.... Halloween is still number 1!.....
