A quiet day

This morning was different. Lethargic and still. Coffee wasn't enough...so a banana and some cheese helped on the way to awareness.
The weather has been beautiful today. Windy and fresh and crisp.
I love Fall and Spring with all the wonderful colors that come about.
The cats have been extra snuggle and pout occasionally.

I have been watching my friends' dogs for this holiday.
You should see me walking 6 at one time! There is a Pekinese, and Shitzu, a Terrier mix, a Hound mix, a Husky, and a Labrador.
The successive names are Mattison, Princess, Jenna, Bailey, Luna, and Tyler. One night my girlfriend Kassy helped walk them. Then the next night a friend named Chris helped walk them. The other walks have been me and it has been FUN! I have taken them out 2 times a day since Wednesday night. Tomorrow (Sunday) all the parents of these animal children arrive home and they DO miss their families.
My cat Kali and one of my room mates cat, Buddy Lee, have been a little pouty after playing with me.
They were NOT happy at the invasion of (dare I say it?) doggies in their home!
Buddy Lee pouts really well. Buddy Lee also needs his teeth cleaned. ;)
Kali has been hiding...but curling up with me at night.

I have a good feel about my life.
My daughter gives VERY good advice!
Dang, guess she did listen more than I thought she did :)
Really proud of ALL my kids.

My niece stopped by for a short visit. My daughter called, my son called, my sisters I called. I called my mom and my dad and StepMom called me. I had my friend Chris and my friend Kassy come over for a visit too on Thanksgiving.
It was nice not to travel this year. To relax and be at home was a great treat for me.
I have enjoyed the silence and the visitors and the casual everyday things in life.
I enjoyed grocery shopping for foods that I love to eat. Surprised me that I chose mostly vegetables and fruit.
ALL very tasty!
My big expense was some buffalo Ribeyes.
GOSH they were tender!
All in all...I chose to do as I pleased this Thanksgiving.
I am also choosing to wait for my room mates to come home to decorate for Christmas.
They are part of my family life and they can help me spread the family feeling, too!

Just a short note.

I love you all and am thankful that my life includes so many.

Kisses to all...
