Happy Thanksgiving '08

Well the real Thanksgiving is here. Brenda and I are up at the lake watching the snow fall, and working on the stuffing for dinner, well Brenda is working on the stuffing. We are going to have a small feast of brine roasted turkey breast, stuffing, yams, mashed potatoes, green beans, home made cranberry sauce, crab stuffed mushrooms, biscuits, a nice bottle of wine, and apple crisp for dessert.


I thought it would be nice to take this opportunity to list some of the things I am thankful for this year:

Most of all I am thankful for my wonderful wife, and best friend Brenda. I have known her my whole life, she is strong, caring, beautiful, and after all these years together, I really would be lost without her. She is my soulmate. It doesn't matter where we are, or what we are doing, as long as we are together I am happy.
I am thankful for my family, and not just Mom and Dad, my brothers and sister, nieces and nephew, but I am thankful for the extensive extended family that we enjoy. The many cousins, aunts and uncles that bring such happiness to our lives.
There are so many more things for me to be thankful for, I really couldn't list them all. But really family is all that matters.

What are you thankful for this year?

Cutie Pie


Dave and Denise sent me some pictures that their babysitter had shot of Tess. Some are from this summer, and some from yesterday. I have updated the Tess Album in the Gallery, and here are the 6 pics that Denise sent over.

Thanksgiving '08

Happy Thanksgiving... well, early Thanksgiving. We had the family Thanksgiving dinner at Dave and Denise's last weekend. I know it was a week and a half early, but that's just the way we do it. I convinced Dave to brine the turkey with our Brine Recipe. Brenda made a Pumpkin Cheesecake. And we all got together for some good food, and good company. Of course we took some pictures. There are a few here, and more in the gallery.

why can't Tess go outside?

Boy it's cold

Well here we are up at the lake for the weekend. It's the weekend before Thanksgiving, and boy is it cold! When we arrived at around 8:30 Friday night it was 14 degrees. At 7:00 this morning it was 0. ((((BRRR)))) So needless to say, we won't be doing any work outside this weekend. Oh, and the lake is already getting ice. Here's a quick picture that Brenda took this morning.

Technology taken for granted

Brenda and I were cleaning out our spare bedroom the other day when we came across some old (pre-digital) pictures that we haven't seen in a while. Looking through these "old" pictures got me thinking... back when we used film for pictures we still took what I consider to be a lot of pictures. When we traveled we always had the camera, for family functions, etc... but now with the digital camera there is no hesitation to take bunches of pictures. In fact in the past 3 years we have taken some where in the neighborhood of 12,000 pictures on the digital. No, that's not a typo... of course a large proportion of these are not what I would consider to be keepers, but we also have a handy web page where we can store an almost infinite number of photos.

That is just one example of a newer technology that I take for granted. I can't even imagine life before the internet, or even life before Google. Then there is the DVR, flat screen TV's, cell phones, email on my cell phone, etc... It really is amazing to me how much things have changed in the past 10-15 years.

What technologies would you be lost without?

I can't wait to see what's next
