HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL

It is an absolutely beautiful day to celebrate Thanksgiving.
I hope all have had a wonderful day and safe travel
for those traveling.

A WONDERFUL SURPRISE

My good friend Carol, surprised me with
this beautifully crocheted jacket that she
made and gave to me, this past weekend.
I love it.
She is so talented as she also made for me
the beautiful silver heart shaped necklace
with a paw print that I am wearing,
in memory of my 18 year old cat
that passed away last year.
She can be located at her silver website
which also links you to her Blogs
silver-byfire.com
Thank you so much Carol, for the surprise and
the wonderful Friendship we have.

IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING AND IT'S COLD

What a change from the warm weather. Will take some getting used to. Gutters cleaned, (check) shrubs all trimmed back (check), warm meals to eat (check), Winter clothes out (check) and sitting here freezing, definitely. Hoping the weather lady has Thanksgiving correct with no rain and a little warmer.

NOTHING LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET - 11/13/2010

Walked out of the last store on our grocery list today
and
this was the view
beyond the field as we turned to drive away.
Pulled over and stopped the car.
Got out
and took several photos.
How I love a beautiful sunset
after a sunny day and beautiful Fall day.

TODAY IS SAXOPHONE DAY - 11/6/2010

IT IS SAXOPHONE DAY
SUCH GREAT MEMORIES OF HIGH SCHOOL
AND MY SON PLAYING TENOR SAXOPHONE
IN MARCHING AND JAZZ BAND
HE CONTINUES TO PLAY IN A JAZZ BAND TODAY

When : Always November 6th

Saxophone Day is today. The Saxophone is a classical woodwind instrument. It is an essential instrument in jazz bands, symphonic bands, marching bands and more. It's only fitting that this great instrument has a day of recognition all to its own.

The Saxophone was invented around 1840. It was created by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian musical instrument maker. The sax is made of brass.

Adophe Sax invented 8 types of saxophones: Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone, Bass, Contrabass, and Subcontrabass. The first Saxophone ever created was the Bass Saxophone. A 9th type of Saxophone, the Soprillo Saxophone, was invented in 2004. It is the smallest Saxophone.

Some famous Saxophone Players (Alphabetical order):

• John Coltrane
• Stan Getz
• Coleman Randolph Hawkins "Hawk"
• James Moody
• Charlie "The Bird" Parker
• Lester Prez Young

Happy Saxophone Day!!!
