May is the fifth month of the year, has 31 days and has several days to celebrate. There is Cinco de Mayo, Mothers Day, Memorial Day and many other notable days.

May day was fun when I was growing up..we called it May basket day.  Mom would take a cupcake holder and fill in with little candies and put a napkin around it and tie it with a ribbon.. Us kids would load up the wagon and pull it around to the 17 houses in our town put the may baskets on their door steps and knock on the door and run.

How are anti-aging potions made?

After reading this article, perhaps it alright just to be wrinkled!!

THE MOVE!!!

The move... something I wished I would have done 5 years ago.  Funny how we are creatures of habit. When I built my house almost nine years ago, it was with the intent that I would stay there for a couple of years and then sell.  Obviously, I did not need a 4 bedroom, 4 bath 3500 square foot home...but just got comfortable there.  Now I am living in an awesome active senior complex that is like living at a resort.  Of course, apartment living is a dramatic change in size from a house and it has made for alot of donating.  I had a walk in closet plus two other closets filled with clothes before and now I have two closets that are the size of one of my previous closets.  There is always some kind of activity going on here and always some kind of FOOD. My justification for that is that it is a 100 steps from my door to the elevator and another 100 to the parking lot.

ALL I NEED TO KNOW, I LEARNED FROM SANTA

1. Encourage people to believe in you
2. Always remember who's naughty and who's nice
3. Don't pout
4. It's as much fun to give as receive
5. Some day's it is okay to feel alittle chubby
6. Make your presents known
7. Always ask for a little bit more than you really want
8. Bright red can make anyone look good
9. Wear a wide belt and no-one will notice how many pounds you have gained
10.If you only show up once a year, every one will think you are very important.
11.Whenever you are at a loss for words, say Ho, Ho, Ho

I think this is pretty good advice.  I really like number 5.  haha

11-11-11

For some reason, 11-11-11 seems so amazing to me. I guess to think that it will not happen again until 2111. I wonder if in 1911 it was that talked about or received that much noteriety as it did today. Also that it was Veteran's Day made it seem more important.  I was thinking that in 2001, did I ever think I would be playing on my iphone a game that I could play with people all over the world.  Ok, it is Words with Friends.  I have met alot of nice people while playing the game.
I imagine alot of history and memorable events were made today.  God Bless and remember our Veterans.

Cousins

It was great to be able to meet up with the girl cousins in
Sonoma. We had a 5 hour luncheon and gab fest. It is too
bad that we all live in the same state and never get together.  The last time we were together was 3 years ago at our Family Reunion in Minnesota. At that event, there is usually about 2-300 people so not as intimate as this little gathering was.  We ate at "The Girl and the Fig".. alot of organic and healthy food seemed to be the faire in alot of places that we went to in the Santa Rosa and surrounding area.
