Another fun weekend with my sisters!
We were out celebrating sister Susan's 58th.
We all met at her house, for coffee. For her birthday, I gave her a really old purse that once belonged to our Aunt Ruby. Ruby was a very colorful character, and liked to "tip a bottle." She was a quirky, nervous person, with very distinct mannerisms, that Susan had learned to imitate PERFECTLY!... Watching Susan "do" Aunt Ruby, was exactly like looking at Aunt Ruby herself!!.... it's uncanny!... and wildly hysterical! So, when I came across the old purse, full of papers, I knew Susan should have it. I don't even know exactly when or how the purse came into my possession. I made a Tag collage, with a picture of Aunt Ruby, and tied it to the purse handle using some old twine that I found in the purse. Susan loved it. I suggested she create a dried flower arrangement in it, and display it proudly! so that's what she's gonna do!
I also gave my sisters a collaged Christmas ornament, using a photo of our Grandfather Vernon (Ruby's father) as a young boy. It was a photo they had never seen before, nor I, till our (long lost) cousin Aristide sent it to me, along with lots of other never before seen photos of family. What a treat that was!!
We had a late breakfast at a cool place called
"My Friends Place" We visited a few art galleries, hit "The Flower Factory" and "Pat Catan's.. local craft stores here in Cleveland. Debbie ran into an old friend, Bernice, who coincidentally looks a lot like her! They were even wearing leather jackets! Weird! Even their daughters look alike! We ended up at one of our favorite restaurants called "Cheddars".. (formerly called Snickers) And I had my usual favorite Burger and a beer.

The day just flew by!... wayyy tooo fast. But we had a great time!
The leaves turned late this year, and they color was brilliant!
I was surprised that they weren't all blown away after last weeks high wind.
So I had fun taking a few pictures before they were gone for good.
I got sent home from work early today, because we were slow.
It gave me a chance to catch up on cleaning, and to get ready for Thanksgiving.
... and as luck would have it, Oprah was doing her "Favorite Things" show. So I could drool over all the great gifts.
Now I'm sitting and having a midnight snack. A Spam Omelet, with Cheddar cheese, and a can of Pepsi. Yes.. it is a Gourmet lover's delight!
It feels like a Friday night, and I have to remember to get up in the morning and head in to work!
I'm kinda hoping work is slow tomorrow too. It will be nice to come home early again, and start my sausage stuffing. .. Not good for my wallet though. Oh well what can ya do right?
Sooo. I'd like to wish you all a very Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving,
I have so much to be thankful for!
