Don't Spoil My Ride !!

Have I mentioned here lately, I'm so ready for cooler weather. We're suppose to get a feel of it this coming weekend. I know I'm going to miss the winter in St. Louis. We usually got a few good snows every year. I love the snow. I'd get in my van and just drive around the neighborhood, with my window down. When we'd get a heavy snowfall, it was just so quiet. Just the crunch of the tires on the snow as I drove real slow. When I would have to go to work, I'd take all the side streets there just to enjoy it. Tony would say " Take the main highways, they are cleared off. " Seriously. Dont spoil my ride. I'd always take my breaks on the 10th floor so I could look out and get a birds eye view of the winter wonderland below. OK. It was the courtyard for eating, but it was beautiful until they started clearing the seats off.. When I'd sit in my van on break, every now and then a bunch of deer would come out of the woods beside the hospital. Naturally being raised hunting and fishing. My natural instinct was to count the antlers if they were close enough. If your blessed with the cooler temperatures this weekend, I hope you get out and enjoy it as I can remember plenty of Thanksgjving's and Christmas's where as kids we played outside in shorts and t-shirts. It won't last long but I can hope it does.

Just Grammy Bragging...LOL

Sam is on the left and Stac is on the right... My they are growing.. Beth says they are going to do everything at one time..

I have the day off after working 8 in a row. Even though I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep for nothing. We are not doing anything special for Thanksgiving. Going to Tony's son's house for a few hours tomorrow. I have to work Friday and the weekend then.

I hope all my friends and family have a wonderful day tomorrow...

Well the great smokeout started at work and as predicted this gal is not walking that long walk to the car for a smoke. I haven't quit smoking just not doing it during working hours.

Tony and I have decided that we will have our Thanksgiving dinner on Saturday. I don't mind going to someones to eat dinner but I truely miss those leftovers in the fridge. hahaha And all who know me know I love leftover potatoe salad the best.....

We will be replacing our exsisting smoke detectors this evening as they ones that are here are quite outdated and unreliable. We have had several firetrucks in the neighborhood over the last few weeks although most of them are from people not having their furnaces checked out before they lit them for the season.

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving !!!!!

Thursday

Messing around with my cell phone camera this morning. I have the day off, am not even sitting with any patients today. Tony will go hunting with his son this weekend at the farm, so I will do extra sitting then...

One more week and Thanksgiving will be here. A year ago I just wasn't quite sure I would ever make it to the point that I am today. With the help of family and friends I lead a productive life. I truely have a lot to be thankful for.

Tony & I.....

Spent the weekend hanging out here at the house. We were going to go to the Hot Air Balloon Race but with the weather being unpredictable and we would have been taking the motorcycle, we just decided to stay at home. This picture was taken the night before the race when they had their light show. Tony shampoo'd the Carpets Sunday. We kept pretty busy around here this weekend. Found out today that I won't be getting the day after Thanksgiving off so I guess I won't be going to Arkansas for Thanksgiving. I will just take another weekend off after that to go home on.
