'm a big believer in the whole entertaining experience. It's just so much more interesting when you're not only filling up on delicious food, but you're also taking in lots of attractive sights. I always like to keep my home decorated really nicely anyway, so it's only natural that I do it even more during the holidays. I'm hosting our extended family's vacation this year and I'm pulling out all of the stops for it.
I find a lot of inspiration for my decorations by looking online. When I was looking online not that long ago to find some cute decorations, I ran across some info on clear tv bundle packages and after that I decided to change over my home internet service to one of those packages.
Just part of my stylish Thanksgiving dŽcor includes some mini pumpkins that I'm using to decorate the dining room table. I also found some coordinating plates on sale a few months back that I knew would be perfect for a Thanksgiving celebration, so I got those to put out too.

Skies from all over our planet...
Skywatch Friday is a fun meme where a couple hundred people, from all over the world, post pictures of the sky on their personal blogs. Each one of those people has really cool content too, not just pictures. Go to Skywatch and click on any one of the little pictures.
Leave that blogger a comment. Make a friend and see some of the world!

Bil Keane - Part of My Family Circus...
Sad news. Bil Keane passed away yesterday.
Bil Keane wrote The Family Circus comic strip, a neat, fun and sometimes thought provoking comic.
My favorites were the ones where you followed the dotted lines to see where the character had been and what they've done. I loved The Family Circus, mostly because I could understand it even before I could read. I loved looking at the pictures whether I could read the captions or not.
But I think the most notable thing about The Family Circus, aside from its basis on Keane's own family, is that Keane was a self taught cartoonist. I loved the minimal-ness of the drawings, the simple bodies and faces. As lean as they were, those pictures told a wonderful story with very little text. I know that is the whole idea of a cartoon, but to my mind, Bil Keane did it much better than most.
Good night, Mr Keane.

| Penny and Eugene |
Eugene loves Penny even though she is a dog. Eugene does not discriminate. Penny has a soft spot for Eugene too, he's the first cat in her life who hasn't been mean to her. They make a nice couple.
