Back in the 1980′s when America discovered country music, thank to Billy Ray Cyrus and his line dancing hit, Achey Breaky Heart, there were several good bands that came out. One of my favorites because of their upbeat songs and great harmonies, was a band called Shenandoah. They had several hit songs and then just disappeared around 1996.
Do you remember, “Next to You, Next to Me”? That was a fun song, easy to dance to.

Our Thanksgiving meal was very tasty and I’m glad we had some leftovers. That means I don’t have to worry about cooking for a couple of days. I can just pick at leftovers and have plenty of food without the bother of a full meal.
I had a 22 pound turkey plus a small ham for our dinner on Thursday. Some of that is left, but even better is all the side dishes and desserts that are left. I enjoyed a slice of cherry pie for breakfast. Yes, being a grownup is a good thing!

Today is going to be a busy one and I have to get my groceries for Thanksgiving. This year we are gathering a few family members and several friends together for a big meal. Most of the friends are here as either new to the area, newly divorced, or people with no family to include them. I think Thanksgiving is about sharing what you have and being with people you care about. So that’s our plan and today I have to get the turkey. Wish me luck, and hope you have a nice Thanksgiving.

This weekend I’m hitting Redbox and renting at least four movies. I need a movie marathon – a day of nothing but good action movies and no one bothering me. After Thanksgiving, I won’t have much time for movies, so this is my last harrah for movies. Then it’s all about shopping, decorating and holiday parties until January 2.

One of my first and closest friends that I made as a 10 year old new to the neighborhood was a girl named Sandy. She lived about a block away and was one of the first kids in the neighborhood to come say hello to me when I was out playing in the yard. I was pretty shy back then so her coming over was a huge relief. We played outside together for many afternoons, until her folks moved away.
I really regret having lost track of her. You know, we promised to stay in touch and we just didn’t do that. It’s sad. I wish I could find her – I’ve searched Facebook and Google – nothing.
