    Have a very safe trip and a wonderful time with your son. Hope there is some garden still alive when you get back. Was that Don sneaking in? Go back in your cage Don! Ignore him, and have fabulous time! Can you tell the stress is building here, HA :-)

    Ich bin wirklich dankbar!

    I am also very thankful for blogging friends.

    And I too love guara, though I hear it doesn't always make it through winter here. We'll see.

    Your post title now has "Fell in Love with a Girl" by the White Stripes stuck in my head, but that's not a bad thing!

    Calorie free food would be a dream come true--but unless I resort to eating cardboard, don't think it will happen--so I will ignore them for the day. Happy Thanksgiving and have a safe trip.
