Have A Great Day
I hope you have a great day tomorrow with some fine food or atleast one thing on the table that you truly enjoy. Find some comfort and joy where you can.
Who's Afraid Of The Holidays?
I have fond memories of the holidays but my parents were always at each others throat. Things changed a bit when my older brothers left home by the time I was in the fifth grade. Hey. It's not my fault they were eight and ten years older than me. It just seems that the holidays became more stressful then, especially for my mom. Were my brothers going to make it home for the holidays due to weather or other arrangements they had made? And one of my brothers ALWAYS seem to bring someone home from college during the holidays. My father could care less how many were around for a dinner or what not but it would send my blessed, neurotic, late bother over the moon. Such silly tosh. But I always remember my parents fighting like cats and dogs just as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor do in the movie Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolfe. But then after the day or event was over there was such a calm that fell over our home as if a burden had been lifted. I hope the holidays aren't a burden for you and that you find some joy.You've Been In The Kitchen All Night?
I know some of you are probably in the kitchen all night getting ready for Thanksgiving. Try not to over do it and save some of that energy for tomorrow.

What's Ahead Can Be Overwhelming
I can't believe it's less than a week now till Thanksgiving. And we all know as soon as the table is cleared that Christmas is upon us. My father and his wild thing of a dog will be here this weekend to stay till the first of the year. Once again my brother insist that he be here for the holidays yet my father will see them, my brother's children and grand children, no more than a couple of times for the entire time he will be here. I don't mind my father being here at all. Sure I can't run around the house half naked and eat whenever I want but he's a pretty easy guest. If there wasn't friction and constant dog barking even his dog would be welcomed with ease. The little impromptu visits from my brother at anytime and he usually brings a friend or someone with him can be annoying. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the holidays and I hope you are too. As my posts will likely be fewer the next few weeks, I wanted to take this time to give you a heads up and wish you all the best.
Movie Set Houses That I Love
I loved slip covered furniture even before I got my girls. Here the living room from the movie Something's Gotta Give.
Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton get a little direction.
