Thankful

If I attempted to list the things I am thankful for, these two would be at the top...

....and if a picture is worth a 1,000 words, I'd only have about 999,000 words to go on that list.  

Reader?

Everett: I don't like reading. It's boring. 

Also Everett: Let me show you all the books I've read recently and tell you one at a time what each one is about in an insane amount of detail even though we've already been in the bookstore for an hour. 

Pulls Me Back In

Life has been crazy around here in both good and not so good ways.  My sister visited with us all of last week - very good.  Both dogs decided to have vet emergencies just in case I was looking for a fun way to spend $1,000 - not so good.  Various family members received various vaccines - Good.  I had one of those weeks at the office where you can't get actual work done because you're in 100 meetings to talk about why the work isn't done yet - not so good.   It's on these weeks that I decide I am no longer going to post on here.  I love it, but I just can't scratch the time out of my day to do it with any consistency.  So, rather than let the readers dwindle away from boredom or apathy, I should just walk away. Then, Halloween rolls around and I get a picture of this adorable little guy and I know I'll want to look back on it in 5 years.... so, here I am...and I'll probably be here long after I'm the only one who still reads it...where else can I go to find the World's most handsome Mario??
