HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Today is Thanksgiving Eve…The Wednesday before our family celebrations complete with turkey and all of the fixings.  I’m fairly certain that the majority of us will be eating the same basic meal at some time tomorrow.  Enjoy my friends, Enjoy!

My apartment has been packed full since Saturday, with just about every piece of baby paraphernalia known to mankind!  Well, maybe not EVERY piece, but certainly, Gabriel Alexander has all of the comforts of home as he enjoys his first road trip.

We’ve had a busy few days and this morning, and by the time you read this, we will probably be in Louisville, preparing for another few busy days!   Gabriel will meet his CeCe’s family…Great Grandma Betty Boop, Great Grandpa Pappaw, as well as his great uncles and aunt and cousins. I can’t wait to introduce him to the family he has become a part of.
On Saturday, he’ll meet his Pappy’s side of the family.   He won’t remember these special times but I know I’ll cherish every moment in my heart.

Thanksgiving is truly a favorite of mine and although traditions change over time, the gathering of family and friends over a big turkey and our favorite sides is something that never gets old to me!

Today, my post is brief!  I am grateful for so much but most especially, the extended visit from Katie, Anthony and Gabriel…my little family!   Enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family and friends!  Know you are loved and will be thought of during this time.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!

  I WAS READY FOR MY CLOSE-UP….   Happy Friday Friends! I had planned to send out my blogpost on Wednesday, as part of my “back on track” thing, but the information that I wanted to share was not quite ready. So today, a Special Edition of Martini Musings…just for you!!! As you may know/remember, I had a day of photos and filmmaking a few weeks ago. This video was an all-day production and I really didn’t know for sure how it would turn out or exactly where it would be presented. Yesterday (Thursday), I received the email with the link to a video that will soon be on the AARP Facebook page and website. In addition, there would be an article on the AARP magazine online, with the possibility of the article showing up in the AARP magazine. Because you are the people who have loved me for most of my adult life (some even longer!), I want you to have the first dibs on the viewing. This video is a snippet of my journey and why I joined The Ethel Circle, which is a Faceb...

  I’M BACK…AGAIN! I had this ready to go a couple of weeks ago, trying to get back into my normal Wednesday blogpost, but for some reason, the evening got away from me and my good intentions to get back to “work” on my blog, just went out the window. Let it be known, I’m back. This post will address the “Where have you been?” “Are you okay?” and “I miss you!” comments I have received from some of my beloved followers. My last post was at Christmas time over three months ago. I am so sorry! To say I’m not sure what went wrong would be the truth on some levels but on some levels, I’m pretty sure that it was just a time of being in a FUNK … F ully U nder the spell of N egativity and K erffluffing (causing confusion & disorder)! Yep, I was in a funk. Now those of you who know me, know that FUNKS are not my style! Trust me, I do not like funks and I rarely allow myself to go there. This time was a little different. I actually got into the funk before I even realized it. ...

  Go Baby Go!!! Yep…Derby week is in full swing and tomorrow, Louisville will become THE place to be for three days! If any of you are reading this and will be in the area…Welcome and have a great time!! If you want to have a mint julep, feel free to stop by! My week has been so fun and the events did not disappoint. It all started with Opening Night in the Turf Club at Churchill Downs. It was a beautiful evening with a light breeze. Our driver was very kind, but sadly, her car did not have air conditioning, so we were a little warm heading out to the track. Note to self…be sure to ask that question when scheduling!! After arriving near the gate, we enjoyed the easy ride on the escalator and elevator to the Turf Club where we were seated and greeted and ordered our first cocktails…a mint julep for me!! I have to say, it was a lot of fun and I think that winning a few races helped keep the fun going! Food and drink along with good people, celebrities and excellent people wa...
