Thanksgiving has arrived!

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

I have always considered Thanksgiving as one of the best holidays there are. It’s always a treat to gather up the family and celebrate the things we have. I am always grateful for the time we are able to spend together with our loved ones. I think that family is important and it’s good to see them all again.

The food is another part of the holiday that I enjoy. We always have turkey and all the trimmings that go with it. I especially enjoy the pumpkin pie and cookies! I guess I will have to suspend my diet for a day or two, but I am sure it will be worth it!

One last blast

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

It’s been a long hot summer and my family is happy that it’s almost over. We are all ready for the cooler weather to take over. But after thinking about it, we all decided that we wanted to take one last vacation before that happens. You know; a one last blast kind of thing. Since we had all enjoyed our last trip to a Myrtle Beach Resort, we thought we would return there for our trip.

As I was searching online to find out what options we had, I found that there were many Myrtle Beach Resorts to choose from. One of the newest ones was called the Avista Resort that looked like the best. The building was really interesting and the grounds around it were nice as well. I also knew that there would be plenty of things for everyone to do when we got there.

We have visited the area before and have always counted on the fact that we would receive great service during our trip. No matter which of the Myrtle Beach Hotels you visit, you can’t go wrong. Everyone is excited about the trip and I am sure that we will have plenty of pictures to share when we get back. The only thing left to do after that will be to start planning our winter trip!

8 Years later

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

It seems hard to believe that it’s been 8 years since the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers. The incident seems to be still fresh in our minds. I would like to ensure that everyone who lost a family member in that tragedy knows that our country appreciates the sacrifice they made. I hope that time will help to ease the passing of these heroes and that we can remember them with pride and affection.

Getting ready for a party

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

One thing I have become interested in this year is throwing parties. I had a little extra time over the Christmas holidays and was able to put together a party for my co-workers. The party went well and we all had a lot of fun. The best part about it was that I really enjoyed the preparations for the party. I planned out the meals and the general overall theme. I really got into it and went all out. I thought that I would continue the tradition whenever possible!

With the Halloween season coming up, I thought that I would do a little planning and throw a party for that as well. I started to look around for some Halloween party ideas and found a nice site that could give me the help I needed in planning out the party. The site is called celebrations.com and I really enjoyed taking advantage of the ideas they put forth. I believe that I will be able to throw a really cool party.

One thing that is always important to a party is the food. I saw that they had a number of ideas on how to prepare foods that reflect the party. I was also amazed at how simple most of the recipes were. I also received a little help with decorating ideas. Just a few simple tips and I will be able to decorate the house without a lot of trouble. I can’t wait to invite all my friends over for a good time.

The last major area of interest will be costumes. I think that’s going to be the key to the whole party. With a few good costumes, I can set the mood for the whole party. I was glad to find that I didn’t have to do this all on my own. There were many good ideas on how to make costumes that would be fun and unique. I am looking forward to putting it all together and having a great Halloween party.
