O.k., O.k., another week has come and gone seemingly without notice, but John is leaving town this afternoon, Brigitte has a competition we are preparing for, and with Halloween over we are transitioning decorations to Thanksgiving. Yes I think it is sick and wrong for people to be putting up their Christmas decorations already. Thanksgiving sets the mood for Christmas, so do we really want to pretend not to notice this extremely wonderful holiday?! I say no way!!!! Alright enough of the soapbox speech!
Thursday is already here again and time for
Thankful Thursday
