Today was the kind of day I would love to have all year around. A little cool in the morning, great temperature until it got dark (don't like going off Daylight Savings Time) and it will be a little cool tonight. Okay, that's the weather forecast from Las Vegas.
Speaking of being on Pacific Standard Time, it is a real bummer for it to begin getting dark at 4:30-5:00. That's a little earlier than when I lived in LA because we are farther north, but I wish we could stay on Daylight Savings Time all year. It seems like lots of other people feel the same way from what I see posted on Facebook and the like.
Did this year go fast for you? I was thinking that Easter wasn't that long ago, and now we are getting ready for Thanksgiving. Where did the time go? Stores are putting out Christmas decorations even before Halloween.
Would you believe, we go to Baja Miguel, the Mexican restaurant in the South Point Casino for our holiday meals now? They not only offer their regular menu, but have special menus for holidays. For Thanksgiving you can choose traditional turkey, all the fixings and pumpkin pie or pumpkin flan for dessert. Not like the days back in LA when we had a pretty big family there and we traded off hosting the holiday dinners.
Mine was generally Christmas, my cousin Barbara who passed away a few years ago took Thanksgiving and my cousin Trisja generally made the Easter dinner. We usually had about 20 people. Those were great times with a fun loving family. My own kids are spread out all over now- Jason in Northern California, Jakki and my two grandsons in England and Scott in Australia, and my sister Phyllice lives in Oregon, so the memories of those big dinners are just that -- memories to be treasured. I am grateful for all of the years I was able to be part of a wonderful family experience, and happy to have friends and a cousin here to enjoy the holidays with.
