Home Sweet Home

It doesn't matter how old you get, it's always fun to go home and visit mom and dad and the brothers.  That made Thanksgiving special this year.  I mean, having a contest with your bros to see who can eat the most food without throwing up.....it doesn't get much better than that.

We're all getting older, but that doesn't mean we have to mature, right?  I hope not, as it's not something we appear to be reaching anytime soon.  We DID have a lot of laughs and fun though, but tried not to lose sight of the incredible reasons we have to be thankful (starting with our family).

Iowa gave me just a little reminder of it's cold nights and windy days, but then treated me to a couple sunny days to remind me of what I had just left behind...... You might have to look a little bit closer at times, but there is still a lot of beauty in the old home state.  (I haven't confirmed if the state tree is really the telephone pole, but I'm checking my sources.)

Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back to finishing off the homemade peanut brittle, chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate chip-cheerio cookies and the last three pieces of pie...... Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!
