It's my great pleasure to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, Rocky Kruger. Rocky has gone from a Special Forces soldier to a college baseball umpire. He's currently working in his first book, a fictional account of his life experiences. Check out his blog at: http://bulletstobaseballs.blogspot.com/.
Way to go, Rocky. I can't wait to see your book in print.

It's the Holidays
Yes, it's the holidays. I'm sure you've all noticed.
Last year, my husband and I spent the majority of the holidays alone. My sister had died suddenly a few months eariler, and she was the last of my immediate family. I wasn't feeling much like celebrating anyway. Which was strange, as we're very social people. We used to have a big Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner at our house for orphans, people like us who don't have friends or family in the area. For some reason, no one was available last year for either days. We spent Thanksgiving at an inn in Port Townsend. We did go to Brandon's for Christmas dinner, and it was wonderful.
This year I decided that we weren't going to spend either holiday feeling sorry for ourselves. So we went to the San Juans for Thanksgiving. We're having a big party on Christmas eve at our house. It started out as a small get together and has been growing. I've been surprised at the number of people available on Christmas eve. A good friend is bringing his Karaoke machine, and we'll be singing Christmas carols. Christmas day we'll spend with good friends and family.
For New Years, we rented a house on the ocean. My stepson is joining us along with a few other people. Should be fun.
So we're looking forward having a great time and seeing people we haven't seen in a while. Friend me on Facebook if you'd like to see pictures and know details about our upcoming weekend.

The Holidays are Coming
With Thanksgiving around the corner and Christmas knocking on the door, it's time to start gearing up for the holiday rush. I'm already pencilling in all the parties we've been invited to attend. I know, I know, we're very social.
This Sunday we're having a big Thanksgiving dinner here. It started out small but is gaining size like a snowball in an avalanche. Those of you who know me, know I'm an event cook. So the more, the merrier. I couldn't be more thrilled to host a big group at our house. I just hope the turkey I bought is big enough.
Then next week, we're heading out of town for Thanksgiving. We're really looking forward to this trip. It's been a long time since we've been able to do something like this. It'll be a very special, memory-filled occasion. I'll fill you in about it later.
