BBQ YUM

Yesterday we went to a BBQ place in New York City called Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. It was so good. We went with our friends from church and had a blast. Our friend Steve loves "meat". hah
He was truly in his glory at the BBQ joint. My hubby leans more towards seafood, but he will enjoy his share of BBQ from time to time. Looking forward to heading back to NYC to see the tree once it is up and visit Rockfeller Center to watch the ice skaters. I also love going to Bryant Park they have little shops set up for Christmas and they sell crafts and all kinds of different items. Last year I got my eye glasses there. LOL I only need readers so I was able to find the strength I needed and they were PINK. My favorite color ! Just couldn't pass them up.
Looking forward to what treasures I will find this year.

Speaking of Treasures - I love this verse "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"
Matt 6:21

Thanksgiving 2009

Had a wonderful day with family. We went to upstate NY to my husbands cousins. They have a beautiful home. They have a huge picture window in the dining room and I was hoping to see deer. Well, right after dinner 3 beautiful deer just slowly walk right through their yard right by the window. It was amazing - I was so thankful to see them. We had tons of great food and fun. They have a sweet 1 year old who was just precious. He smiled and acted shy. Really a sweet little boy. Looking forward to tomorrow and some breakfast, errands and shopping !

Pets

Kelly's Korner is doing show us your life - Pets

I love to brag about my doggie - Solomon.

He is my baby. He is 12 1/2 years old.

He is a westie. A very spoiled westie.

Just like Kelly's dog Dawson, Solomon follows me around room to room.

Sadly he is the boss. I failed doggie 101 that is for sure.

When my husband came into the picture Solomon had already been with me

for 7 years. Needless to say he was none to happy with this addition to my life.

He is S-L-O-W-L-E-Y starting to accept him. Especially when I am not home, than

Gary is okay. He will give him cookies and take him on a walk. But once Mom hits

home - bye bye Gary. We laugh because many times the expression on Solomon's

face when he looks over at Gary sitting with me on the sofa is pure disgust.

He gives him the meanest look - we just crack up. But we both love the little guy.

He has a yellow duck that he got as a first birthday present. It is his baby.

He carries it around the house crying, seeking the perfect place to bury it. He does

this routine about twice a day. You can see he is totally stressed out until he finds

just the perfect spot. The duck is in the photo above.

Birthdays, Anniversaries, Vacations & Blessings

WOW what a month it has been. Hubby and I had a wonderful trip to Texas. Loved it. Praying the Lord will relocate us one day. Returned from vacation and it was my 50th birthday. Hubby made a special trip after working all day to NYC to buy me my favorite food. This was just the beginning of a special birthday week. My 50th birthday present is a trip to Hawaii ! How much better can it get . . . well two days after my birthday is our anniversary #2 and he took me into NYC to Fresco's by Scotto and wonderful Italian restaurant. I received a beautiful pink pearl necklace. I love PINK and I love pearls. I have the best hubby in the world. The 48 year wait sure was worth it . . . Happy anniversary Hon . . . can't wait for many, many more . . .

October ! !

YEAH love this month. While I enjoy the lazy days of summer, it is always nice to get back to the routine of life. Back to school, back to schedules. I am an organizational nut so I thrive in the routine of life. I try to be more of a free spirit LOL but I can only stand it for so long hah

I even enjoy the darker nights. Something about coming home from work closing the shades and just snuggling in - great feeling.

Just purchased my favorite Yankee candle Macintosh. Heading this weekend to our local Plant store - have to get some colorful mums.

Even my sweet doggie Solomon seems to be in such a good mood.
He has so much energy with the cooler air. He has been running and jumping like a puppy again. Of course, being 12 he poops himself out rather quickly hah

Thank you Lord for the gift of the seasons . . . blessed FALL !

Crazy End of Month Days

Crazy day. So busy at work. You know the end of the month, end of the quarter rush. hah One more day and the new month begins and I can take a sigh of relief. October too! My favorite month. For one it is my birthday month and also my anniversary month. Plus we are going on vacation to Texas in October. Much to look forward too.

Oh my! My little doggie Solomon is very mad at me right now. He is barking and barking. He doesn't understand we can't have dinner until his chicken finishes cooking. hah How do you tell a dog to be patient?

Went to my chiropractor today. Oh what a blessing that is. Helps all those sore muscles from sitting at the desk all day. Does anyone else love the chiropractor?

Well, better run, my Solomon's chicken is almost done . . . Lord know's he doesn't want to wait a minute longer. . . :)
