Oh boy!!! Don’t get me wrong now……I have a good appreciation for the bird. Birds of all kinds. I love watching them from the other side of a window (in my house) AND I like watching them from the yard as they dive bomb my head. Those bluejays are mean but I love watching………………however my FAVORITE bird to watch is the one Mom usually roasts twice a year around here (sometimes more)……….for Thanksgiving AND Christmas…………MR. TURKEY!
This year my Mom and Dad will be away on Thanksgiving but have promised that they will bring a “kitty bag” back from the mountains with some turkey in it. Just for ME. So I’ll forgive them for deserting me – after all it’s only one night and they bring me food? Oh yeah….I can forgive them alright!
If you’re celebrating Thanksgiving this Thursday like many of us are, what’s on your menu? Anything that you like???
Here’s something ELSE that I like……………TUESDAY TEASER! Tomorrow’s Teaser is a Guest Teaser. You know what that means – it could be from anywhere from anyone…………..so tune in tomorrow to see if you can capture one of my fabulous awards. You know you want one!!
Tomorrow is also the LAST day you can get my Mom’s mystery book (the Kindle formatted one anyway) for a mere ninety-nine cents. After than, the price goes back up……………….on my sidebar is a link to Amazon Kindle for your EASE in downloading……………nothing like a good mystery to keep you up at night reading!!!!
The last thing I want to say is that yesterday the blogosphere was FULL of sweet tributes to Nylablue – sweet friend to all. Thinking of Nylablue now residing in her beautiful “Summerland” makes me happy…….my sadness is being replaced by the joy of knowing she was ready to go. She said she’d send me a sign after…………..this morning as Mom and I were walking in the dark in the backyard, we saw a VERY bright and twinkling star – Mom told me that was Nylablue winking at me………….it was bluish in color – not as pretty as Nylablue’s eyes but pretty nonetheless…………Mom sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” to me then we came back inside……………….we both had smiles!!
You’re right Sammy, Nylablue was ready to go. Lovely that she sent you that message and you serenaded her back. See you tomorrow 😉

I think she was more than ready to go……….I’m going to look for her every morning forever……….See you for the TEASE! By the way – IT’S A TOUGH ONE!
