The day after Thanksgiving
I don't do black Friday. So yes I was lazy and didn't get up until 10:30 this morning. It was nice, the simple joys of life. Right???
Now what I must do (no matter what) is to clean up after Thanksgiving. So yes I have lots of cleaning to do. Wash dishes, a lot of dishes. Oh joy I can't wait.

Julie Andrews on her 69th birthday
If you google this you will find this on so many blogs and joke pages. So I don't know why I have it on mine. Hmmmm oh well.
To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist,
Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City
Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.

One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things"
from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."
from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."
Here are the lyrics she used:
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.
(Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted
over four minutes and repeated encores.)

Times as such as this
With the government saying: "we are not in a recession. Just in hard economic times." Who do we believe??? I believe in numbers and facts of today. Like the housing foreclose and the inflation. We have inflation in food, clothing, electronics, and etc.
The good news is that gas prices are going down!! The one bright spot in these dark times. But that is not enough. The Utah food bank has more orders for food assistance in about 15 years (give or take 5 years). More family's are living on the streets and in shelters. Their have been states that have shut down their food banks. Hawaii food bank shelves have nothing on them. The grim reality of our times.
How will President elect Obama and his team fix this??? The US people and the world would like to know how they will accomplish such a task. Such a big challenge for the Obama team. We will be watching, waiting, and praying.
