30 Days of Thanksgiving Day 25

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I don't know why, but I love this day. I'm always excited, doing errands in the morning, home cooking & baking throughout the afternoon and evening. Today was no exception. I had re-runs of Roseanne Thanksgiving episodes on the TV (Oxygen Channel) with A Peanuts Christmas cd playing in the background. And I was a happy gal!

Late afternoon our road became a little bumpy when we found out that it looks as though sis.in.law B will be with us indefinitely as of this Saturday until she goes into assisted living instead of her returning to FL to temporarily live with family there. (This makes it Extremely difficult to get her into assisted living in FL as she would like to do - common sense does not apparently run in Hubby's family aside from Hubby). My bro.in.law and his wife, who just kicked B out of their home last week, have deleted all of us (as in the Entire family) as friends on fb, won't answer their phones and are in Hawaii on vacation. I honestly haven't the foggiest idea how we are going to handle this or get through this. One step at a time I guess.

Last but not least,
today I am Thankful for
my wonderful Husband, my dear Friends and Fellow Bloggers, my side of the family, my father.in.law, my IV treatment nurse, our home, the kitties, being excited for the holidays getting under way
and
for the delicious scents coming from the kitchen.

Awe what a wonderful post Jo. :) I'm sure you'll figure out how to work everything when your sis-in-law comes.
Hope you're having a wonderful day. :)

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
