I had a wonderful few days off for thanksgiving I got a chance to go to my parents house and spend time with them doing different things and mainly just taking a few minutes out of our super busy lives to spend time together. I hadn't been to their house in several months, I was able to see my parents off and and when they came to Dallas but it was special to be at their house. Lily enjoyed her time in the HUGE yard that my parents have and she just loves playing with Delli, my mom's dog. 

I tried to take lots of pics that I will post soon, I know I am super far behind in all of the posts that I need to put up. This not having internet is making my life difficult. I am sure that I will have internet and TV soon so that I can watch my shows. It was wonderful to take a few days away from the office and be thankful that I have such a wonderful loving family and that here in the USA we are able to be who we are without consequences from the government. So I am thankful for you my few readers who I am sure enjoy the crazy ramblings of my mind... Happy Thanksgiving!!!
