Thanksgiving week; a week of cooking, traveling and/or hosting, preparing and cleaning up. We are going to friends to help them eat a home grown bird (or two). But in addition to the usual day of thanksgiving and harvest feasting we will be celebrating Brienne's 7th birthday this week - twice. Wednesday is the actual day, crossing our fingers that her gift will arrive in time. Sunday is theFancy Nancy Goes Bowling Birthday Party. A fairly simple affair; dress up, bowling and cake. But still I anticipate spending a fair amount of time in the kitchen this week. Because what is a celebration without good food?
And so I say to myself "I should take a blogging break this week". Ha! That's almost laughable. Blogging is something I enjoy immensely. Publishing my photos and thoughts almost daily - what a rush! But in the event that I do check out for a couple days I wanted to leave you all with these great reads, November's Sweet Stuff.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving week.
Do you have a link to your Amazon wish list posted anywhere on your blog? How are your loyal readers supposed to buy you gifts? :)
And Happy Birthday to Brienne! My oldest son turned 7 in October so they aren't that far apart.
Please tell me you're joking. Because if I had known readers would want to buy me/us gifts off our Amazon wish list I'd have put it up a long time ago (kicking myself in jest).
I'm serious. What's wrong with buying someone the occasional gift?
are you for real? Well I never... There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying someone a gift but never in a million years did it occur to me that a stranger would want to buy me something. I'm not much of a gift giver myself. I tend to show my love and appreciation by doing things for people.
Well I guess I should post that amazon wish list then shouldn't I??
great links. kyndale's post had slipped by me too. so perfect for me right now. i've been letting mike make more of the soup around here. helping immensely. ;) LOL nicola http://whichname.blogspot.com
