Hope most of you had a lovely Thanksgiving feast?! My family had a good holiday,no fight!
Perhaps everyone has all grown-up, or perhaps it was all the spirits? All jokes aside, I really have a extremely liberal, and laid back family..and that I am thankful for! It was also nice having a 5 day weekend, and this time of year no doubt. I understand our store had a huge weekend, and in a retail climate that is taking companies left and right, we're actually showing growth. This year our company started a new incentive, when our store meets their sales goal, everyone no matter their position in the store gets a bonus. This year we have gotten three and looks like we're going to finish our year with the last one for the year too, which each season, adds a nice chuck of pocket change. This is very unheard of in retail these days. Another reason to be grateful. Upon getting back, I and the team headed to New York City to take in the seasonal finery of other retailers and a couple of other pit stops for some folic. I'll be sharing those soon, but in the meantime I had to contend with these things over the holiday first.
Yes, Buster and my mother's dog Lilith were reunited.
Squirrel alert!!!!!
Buster and Sophie...under the aunt foot cooking! Kitchen dogs.
There was a lot of this....
And this!!!!!!!!!
And here is my aunt's bible.
And upon getting home, my dear mother left this for me on my dresser.
A picture of me from 2nd grade at a Thanksgiving school event. Apparently even then I liked wearing head dresses. And if I recall correctly, the girl sitting next to me sounded like Marcy from the Peanuts. So there was that.
I do love me some doggie porn! I never realized that Buster was so small. He has such huge personality, just like his Mistress. You were such a little cutie! Still are, just bigger :)
ReplyDeleteIn more ways than one.......
DeleteYou look like a sweet little boy!
ReplyDeletelooks CAN be deceiving, dear...
DeleteLooks like the doggies agreed on politics too. :-)
ReplyDeleteLoves all the pictures and what a cute school picture. xoxoox
The other girl must be Peppermint Patty.
ReplyDeleteHappy you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a nice trip into NYC; all done and brought you safely home. Hugs!!!
ReplyDeleteOmg that throwback photo is priceless. Loves it!
ReplyDeleteAnd the doggies are adorable! Glad you had a great thnxgiving.
XoXo
playing dress up, you sweet thing! can't wait to see your NYC pix!
ReplyDeleteMan, I was so sure that Anne Marie would see this ...
ReplyDelete"we're actually showing growth"
... and run with it!
Anne Marie has been ill, Bob. Give a girl a break! She'll be back in no time.
DeleteI want ready for a cuteness over load. Even as a child your were cute. All three pooches are also to cute for words.
ReplyDeleteThat my kind of holiday. Good food, spirits and dog filled!!! Your aunts cook book looks well used. I bet the book is amazing. And that picture of you as a little maddie is ADORABLE.
ReplyDeleteWe do that at Home Depot, it's called Success Sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo, it all started in 2nd grade... I think that has always been the year for understanding that the difference between boys and girls is that boys are more fun.
Buster is sooo cute! I'm glad you had a great time during the holiday. Nice to hear about the bonus, too. I'm crossing my fingers I'll get one in March.
ReplyDeleteHiper cute! :D
ReplyDeleteSweet Sweeeet! I love your blog, it always put a smile on my face! And that looks like a perfectly cooked turkey. Magazine ready even.
ReplyDeleteOh My !I missed you !
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh so much ! hehe !
And in the same time... your pictures are so beautiful... as always. Loved that last one.
What a treat to see! Those pictures of all the pups are so cute! And the real treat was seeing that picture of you as a Indian! What a cute child Mistress!!
ReplyDeleteNow I can see why your aunt is a good cook, That turkey looks incredible, and I too have a copy of the French Cooking book. I love the recipes in there, but my culinary talents aren't quite that good, so kudos to your aunt. looks like she has had the book for some time.
LOVE that last pic!!! Not sure if the dogs are cuter or you kid picture? But it's good to have you back.
ReplyDeleteYou know a home is a home when you have kitchen dogs! When I cook, I always have dogs under foot waiting for a drop of something. What a adorable post all the way around...looks like you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! You would have thought a picture of you innocent? Loving all the dogs! Lilith's side eye is cracking me up.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've noticed your new header/banner thingy. Is that lady trying to feed the reindeer a potato, or did she remove Rudolph's nose? I've been riding the silly train for about a week now. It doesn't seem to be slowing down.
ReplyDeleteThat's actress Myrna Loy....and she may be feeding the deer one of Cali Boi's testicles.
DeleteURP!!
DeleteThanks everybody for a warming welcome back!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the post. They all seem to get along so well. And that picture of you is priceless!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cuteness overload!!!! And 5he sign of a good cook is a very used cook book.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the holiday was restful and that you didn’t have a re-creation of the scene from “A Christmas Story” where the pack of dogs make off with the turkey!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is priceless ... and so are all the pooches (but don't tell Buster I called him that).
