Happy Holidays! I'm sorry that I'm late on posting this but my world has been insanely busy this holiday season. My favorite day of the year is Thanksgiving because it's the one day that everyone stops doing what they're doing to enjoy family and friends over food. We chose to go to Port Aransas for our Thanksgiving this year and I think it'll become an annual trip for us. My father-in-law and wife...

Turkey with current stuffing, homemade lemon merigine pie (from lemon tree), pumpkin pie (fresh pumpkin from October), apple pie (from apple tree), homemade butter and homemade cheese. Lovely dinner at home, just the two of us. Watched Ice Age 3, Angels & Demons and G.I.Joe. And J even did 6 loads of dishes to keep things caught up in between cooking. He's a keeper.

Tomorrow is the Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. That means millions watching the morning telecast of the big NYC parade sponsored by Macy's, complete with giant helium balloons, elaborate floats and Santa bringing up the rear.

"Like I said...you don't hafta...I told her we weren't....if you wanna run, you can.

Thankful for myself. I'm that amazing.

What are all these weird bird things...? "Turkeys," I keep hearing? I've never seen anything like them before. They're pretty excitable, aren't they? Somehow, this reminds me of those melon patches that...of pilgrims, either. Maybe they're here to hunt turkeys, haha! That would be a pretty weird coincidence. Then again, knowing this place... Juudai! Hey, Juudai! Let's catch a turkey. It'll be fun
