Oh, no, Anna, I will not smack the fishy, it is rather cute, really. It is just something else, a symbolism (not Christianity, but a personal thing someone once told me), that I was referring to and now it does not matter.

The poetry contest is going well. I am getting great reviews/comments from fellow writers. I am really growing fast as a poet and love it.

Yes - 34 people is going to be a lot! My sister has it all figured out on how to seat us all. She has enclosed her huge covered patio with a special plastic sheeting. It is keeping the from the afternoon sun in. It is going to be so nice to be together with most the family. There are still some who cannot make it, but, will be with us in spirit.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to reminisce and be reminded of how grateful we should be for all that we have been blessed with. I have been blessed with many dear friends here at BellaOnline and that is one thing I am giving thanks for.

Peace and Harmony. Blessed Be.

Beetle, Times a'gettin' close. If I do not get a chance to tell you before you leave for Germany: Have a wonderful time, Happy Thanksgiving, bring us back some pics, and please do not forget that yummy pizza thing Francine told us about! Stay out of the muddle puddles over there, they will likely be frozen.

Mmmmmm... Cream of wheat with blackberry jam swirled in it starts my day right.

Now you just need to top it off with a Peep! mmmmm

What color goes best with blackberry? Wabbit or Chicky?

All righty then.... those who found the most Easter eggs gets a virtual hug.

I found absolutely none!!! Not even a PEEP!!!

Greetings Loong, my friend.

Yes, this is the place to just sit and relax, to just be and let be, with a bagle, or donut, or cinnamon roll, or oatmeal cookies and tea or coffee.

And yes -- there is always sunshine here. Thank you for coming by, I will just let you relax and drift off in the warm sunshine.

You are most welcome.
