Hey y'all,
We had a good old fashioned family Thanksgiving on Thursday. We had my Mother, 2 out of three of my brothers, my daughter and one of my sons, as well as my son-in-law, a couple of single guys who are friends of my kids and, of course, the main person at all of our get-togethers...my grandson. The food was great, the conversation was great, and the company was great. My daughter, who is a fantastic cook, did most of the dinner. I contributed some, and my son (who bakes like a dream) brought pies and cheesecake. Yumm! Hope everyone else out there has had a wonderful holiday!

10 random things about me
1. I was once friends with the daughter of a circus promoter...I hung out with acrobats, clowns, etc.
2. I was great in English and History...not so much in Math and Chemistry.
3. I have the genealogy tree for my father's branch back to the middle ages.
4. I used to play piano, flute, and piccolo.
5. I was the ultimate tom-boy as a kid.
6. I can tat. (Don't say "What??" You work in a library! Look it up!)
7. I hate to fly.
8. I WILL fly...to England someday!! My lifelong dream.
9. My great-great grandfather was a moonshiner.
10. I was the #1 premier hide and seek player of my neighborhood when I was a kid.

Hey Y'all
Tonight is the Library's "milestone" dinner...for those of us who have been working here FOREVER. I have been invited for my 20 yr mark. Twenty years! My daughter was in the third grade when I started working here. Her son is in kindergarten this year! My oldest son was 15. He will be 36 in two weeks. Sometimes I forget, and think I must be about 36. Then I realize that I can remember Sputnik, and Eisenhower. Not quite as young as 36. Oh, well. Better than the alternative!

WINTER (Burrrrrrr)
Hey y'all,
Autumn one week and WINTER (ugh, burrrrr) the next! Snow before Thanksgiving! I am not a happy camper. Sometimes I wish I could move south. My youngest son did that. He and his wife now live in the south, and it is because of the winters. He hates cold weather more than I do...and that is saying a lot. I only hope that we get a bit of indian summer around Thanksgiving, as a lot of my family are coming up for it, and I know my mother...even a hint of bad weather and she will NOT come. I could understand if she had to drive it herself, but my brother will be driving her. As most people who learn to drive in WV, he is a good winter driver. We learn not only on snow and ice, but on mountain roads...narrow, twisted, slick roads, with guard rails only on the worst curves. You learn quick. Or not...;)

Autumn
Well, Autumn is really here. Most of the trees are becoming brown and/or bare. I love Autumn, except for the fact that it precedes WINTER!!(UGH, BURRRRRRR). I am not a cold weather person. But to walk on a cool (not cold) day in the fall with crunchy leaves underfoot...that is bliss! I have always loved that. I grew up as a country girl, from a WV "Holler" with hills and forests and creeks all around. I do miss walking in those woods in the fall. Sometimes there would be over a foot of leaves on the ground. Fun.

MISTAKES!!!
Hey y'all,
I am SOOO glad that I decided to go through the Track My Progress to make sure all the links were right!!! I keep finding mistakes! This is about the Flickr mashups and tools. The two I liked best were FlickrFly and FlickerFont. The montagr was fun, too. I hope this is my last "catchup" blog. Every time I think I am done, I find I am not!
