So I'm growing a garden, which I want to blog about. However, I've noticed I'm a little behind on blogging, so I'm going to attempt a quick catchup...
Let's start with Thanksgiving of 2009.
We had quite the houseful for Thanksgiving. For dinner, we had Mickey (mom), Jordan & Donnice (great friends...and actually Adelyn was in Donnice's belly at the time, so we can count her), Don & Debbie (Jordan's parents) and Emily & Luke (Jordan's little sister and her husband), plus of course Michael, Dora and I. ALL OF US CRAMMED INTO OUR TINY 378 SQUARE FEET APARTMENT!!! Yes, I said 378 square feet. Luckily, at the time, we did not know this fact. We waited to measure until right before moving out. The landlord guessed the apartment was about 500-600 square feet, but he was wrong. Anyway, it was a comfy, cozy, good time. At least I thought so! :)
We went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was told if we got there about an hour and a half before it started, we'd probably be a few rows back. However, that's assuming the weather is the typical freezing, snowy sort, I guess. I believe the weather was in the 40s that day, and when we showed up about an hour and 15 minutes ahead of start time, we were about 20 people back from the parade. However, as you all know from watching on TV, float truly means float, so most of the excitement was up in the sky and easily viewed. We did some recording, which I haven't watched until today, but you can tell by the excitement in my voice and the giant floats coming by that it was REALLY COOL!
We also went and saw West Side Story and Cirque du Soleil's Wintuk while we had company in town.
Wintuk was magical. There were giant dancing dogs and big beautiful birds. At the end of the show, there was a snow shower.
While we're on the topic of Thanksgiving, we may as well discuss Thanksgiving 2010. It was not quite as exciting as the previous holiday, but we had significantly more space. Mickey, Scotty, Mindy, Nicole, Audrey, Major, Jordan, Donnice and Adelyn all came. Everybody had a real chair and a piece of table to enjoy dinner on. Not quite as cozy, but still a delight. We actually had space for an arrangement sent by Michael's parents. The little leaves were a handmade housewarming gift from Andrea.
Major caught a frog! Never saw a frog at my house before or after that, so I have to say the boy must attract them!
