Thanksgiving 2009
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
On Thursday, November 26, 2009, Thanksgiving came around swiftly and without warning. Literally, I think this one creeped up quicker than any other have as I was still reeling from the the unexpected arrival of Halloween. After this, there were two down and the final of the big three to go. I had been up late the night before at Sly and Kristy’s house playing cards. I ended up sleeping in their guestroom so I only got about two hours of sleep before they had gotten up and headed off to work. Read the rest of this entry »
I had had virtually three full days in a row of traveling and sightseeing in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Charleston, South Carolina – and I was ready to spend my last day of my final major trip of 2009 relaxing in Myrtle Beach on Friday, July 31. The exhaustion I felt at that point actually allowed me to sleep a full eight hours that night before waking up to a bit of bacon and eggs…and two visitors. 
I’m one of those freaky people who is a sucker for a rainy day. I actually enjoy them. I love the coziness of being in the house or car with the pitter patter of the raindrops hitting the roof. So I quite enjoyed Thursday, June 17, 2009, as Bob and I made our way into the northern portion of New Jersey via motorcar in the driving rain. Even though we had to frequently hop out of the car in the downpour, we both had our umbrellas so we didn’t do much complaining.
