**Happy Thanksgiving**

Good morning!!! Happy Thanksgiving!!! I love Thanksgiving…family, friends, food, wine, football..I mean what’s not to love about that? 🙂 It’s absolutely beautiful here..sunny and low 80’s! Perfect! I am heading over to my 2nd brother’s house..we grew up neighbors back in Nebraska. He is the one I always talk about that owns a Mexican restaurant. 🙂 He invited my family over…and his entire family is here visiting from Nebraska. I am so excited to see everyone!! There should be about 30 of us so it will be one big party! Yay..fun times!!

I had an awesome birthday!! I went to a zoo that I have never been to before, it is a wildlife zoo and was much better than the Phoenix Zoo. I remember last time I went all the animals were sleeping and so far away you could barely see them. This zoo was cool… all the animals were active and super close. You will see from my pic the llama actually put it’s head on my lap. Soooo cute! I think he/she liked me! 🙂 I loved all the animals of course, but there was a baby monkey and it was the cutest thing. Honestly it didn’t even look real, looked like a stuffed animal. Adorable! I did enjoy watching the Rhino, he/she was super active! They are so fascinating, I have never seen one so close. And last but not least I did love the new guinea singing dogs, they kind of look like one of my dogs. They were really cute, very curious and playful. The giraffes, zebras, lions and tigers were pretty cool too, but I don’t want to bore you with all my animal photos. 🙂

After the zoo we went out to dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant … it’s about 45 minutes, but since I was in the area! 😉 It was delish! I am so ready for turkey, ham, prime rib, taters, stuffing and of course pumpkin pie! Talk about a feast!!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with family & friends. I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life..not just today, but every day! 🙂 🙂

Kisses,
