CELEBRATIONS AND THANKSGIVING

November started out slow at the beginning, but pick up in activities towards the end. First off Todd and I celebrated our birthdays on the 20th, he's 10 and I'm old enough to know better. My Sister Carol took me to lunch the day before at the Claimjumpers in Thousand Oaks. Then on the day of my birthday Glen and I went for a bike ride out to Hueneme Beach and followed the path the to entrance of the harbor and the old lighthouse. That evening we went to Yolanda's and Bryan and Linda Marie met us there. I got a Nintendo DS for my birthday from Glen and B & LM bought me a nice scarf and gloves for our upcoming trip to Michigan.

Todd looks thrilled doesn't he!

Glen's Mom Mrs. Soshea came over one day this month after Glen took her to the Opthamologist and opened her Christmas present because we will be gone for Christmas. She's doing good and looking forward to having cataract surgery in January.

Thanksgiving Day was spent at Bryan and Linda Marie's house. She cooked a yummy meal and we ate it! Thanks LM for doing such a Fabulous job.

As you can see we had a menu, a beautiful roasted turkey. Looks like Bryan is happy - he doesn't have to carve the thing!

Cheesin it for the camera!

As Paula Deen would say "Happy Thanksgivin Ya'll!"

The day after Thanksgiving I went to breakfast with Denise and Mike who came down to celebrate the holiday with Mike's Dad Mr. Kelly.

We can't all be as beautiful as Denise!! Work it Denise, work it!!



And Mr. GQ Mike also working it for the camera.

Oh yeah, Glen had a poker party on the Friday before Thanksgiving but I didn't get any pictures of all the folks there. I took pictures before the game began and the people arrived but I got distracted when they got here - oh well it was fun. Here's a couple of pics of the before game and a picture taken of Bryan at a previous poker party. Just a sample of how crazy they get.

Well that's it for now. Next Saturday Glen, Todd and I hit the road to Michigan following Route 66 all the way from Santa Monica to Chicago! I'll be posting pictures along the way. Take care and happy trails!
