I Spy - Family Event

Ready for this weeks picture montage.  I know you have been waiting with bated breath for mine.  Please join in with Christy Mad Mind and Your's Truly photo challenge.  I know that a lot of you had family gatherings in the past week.  There were mega picture taking opportunities.  Show them off.  I triple dog dare you....... This weeks prompts are FAMILY EVENT and YOUR CHOICE.   Easy, easy, easy.   FAMILY EVENT
This was last Christmas's sibling get together.  Didn't I hide myself well.  But of course. Last years 2011 Thanksgiving Dinner.  One of those, I'm sneaking a shot so they won't get mad at me kind.  Last year was our year that the kids didn't go to their spouses festivities. Last year we took some of the grandkids to Thanksgiving Point to see their light show and see Santa's Reindeer.  It was a fun night. The BFF's.  So cute. I considered this a family event.  Usually we just see the doe's and their fawns.  Looks like daddy was in on the search.  (I think he was just trying to get on the good side of the doe's if you know what I mean, wink, wink) MY CHOICE This week instead of a photo, I'm going to show you a video I made last weekend of Miss O.  When her and her dad came over, she was "not herself".  She came in CHARACTER.  Of which her dad said she had been in all day.  

Make sure you turn the sound up on your computer.  She talks a smidge on the quiet side.

My Christmas Want List

Happy Cyber Monday y'all.  Have you done any shopping?  I did.  Spent mega tons of money.  NOT.  I would be in all sorts of hot water if I did.  :)

While I was visiting Judy's blog this morning, she did the Friend Makin Monday challenge.  This is the question on the week.  Play along.  I would love to see your christmas list.

Dear Santa:  List at least ten things that you may or may not need that you'd love to find under your tree this year.

1.  A Purple George Foreman Grill

Yes, I have looked everywhere online.  No you can't get them in the United States.  I have found them in Europe, but guess what?  SOLD OUT.  Because purple rocks my people!!!!!

2.  The winning ticket in this weeks Super Lotto.  (or whatever the lotto it is)  I could use the 435 million dollars that the jackpot is up to.  

3.  A Hawaiian Cruise

4.  A Job

Since I'm jobless and stuff right now

5.  A super lovely exciting body

Oops, boyfriend, I would certainly like to have his body up against mine......

OK, how about this body, and all the strength that goes with it

6.  A Personal Chef

I mean, who wouldn't want to eat stuff that was tasty that you don't have to prepare

7.  Kitchen Staff

Because who wants to clean up afterwards.  Not me!!!!!

8.  A New TV

We have the old kind.  Take up a lot of space.  Had for at least 20 years.  Not the newfangled, slim, hang on the wall flat kind.  OK, I don't need one, the others work, but hey, it's Christmas.

9.  Unlimited Air Miles

So I can go visit all the cool people that I have met in the blogging world, and not have to pay for the flights.  I know, right.

10.  A Money Tree

Well duh, need to have all the spending money for said trips.  

What do you want to find under your tree?

I Spy - Music

Many Thanks for stopping by and checking out this weeks photo meme, hosted by the ever lovely and talented Christy, with Her Mad Mind, and myself.   The hardest photo taking challenge on the World Wide Web.  NOT.....  We give you two prompts with one of them always YOUR CHOICE.  This week the other prompt is MUSIC.
I traveled back in time, ok, went through tons and tons of photo's that I have taken over the years, before there was ever a thing called the internet (I know, right).  Let me just mention, my photo taking skills have improved tremendously over time.  Which is lucky for you, since I'm not that great as it is.  But I slam myself at least have memories in pictures.  """"memories, like the corners of my mind......mystic water colored memories, of the way we were"""""""  (caught ya singing along, didn't I) Lets get started, shall we MUSIC
I've mentioned in the past that Mr. Dazee is an avid collector of all music.  Here is just a smidgen of what he has.
Some Albums.  I see that they are making a come back.  He has at least 4500 of these babies.
Eight Track and Cassettes.  He says he too many of these.  Between the 2 of them, he has approximately 600. 
45's.   According to him, there is about 8000 of these babies.
I couldn't find a picture of all his CD's.  There is appro.  3500 of them.  He has them all in alphabetical order.  Of course, they haven't made it out of the boxes on this move.   He has all kinds of music, old country, jazz, new age, rock and roll, classical.  You name it, he probably has it.  From the 1940's to present.  We need to get him his own internet station.
Here is just some of the equipment he has.  He has tons more of that too.
MY CHOICE Whilst going through old photo's, I came across a couple of them that just made me smile.  
This first one is of my own 3 kids.  They must have been cold, or this was the first fire of the season.  It was a wood burning fireplace.   I don't know, it just brings back memories.
This next one is from when we made a family trip to California in 2000.  Before it was a big pain in the butt to fly.  My sons cracked us up the whole trip.  It was so much fun.  We didn't take very many vacations, so this too made me smile. 
Ok, so much for the blast from the past.  Please link up.  It can be anything.  I promise. I want to wish all of you in the U S of A, Happy Thanksgiving, and those of you abroad, Happy Thursday.  Next weeks prompt is one where you can post some pictures of your holiday.  See, none of you should have an excuse, unless your dog eats your camera.

The Answers To My Questions...

The other day I asked the people that I highlighted to answer some questions.  In all fairness to them, I am going to answer them, because, well, I know you have inquiring minds and want more blackmailing material,  more knowledge of who I really am.

So, without further ado

1.     How old were you when you got your first kiss?  Do you remember his/her name?

I was the ripe old age of 13.  His name was Rusty.  Nuff said.  I think back on it now, and ummm, yeah, yuk.

2.     What is a wild and crazy thing you did with a group of friends?

I know that we all have done the thing from Waynes World.  Maybe not the same song, but we did the flying down the street, radio volume up high, singing at the top of our lungs.

Not to mention that one time me and a bunch of friends went into a 7-11 and caused a ruckus.  No really, little ole sweet and innocent me did that.  

3.    Do you like Roller Coasters?  If so, what is the funnest one you have ever been on?

I love, love, love, love, love Roller Coasters.  If there was a dream job for me, it would be traveling around the world, riding and writing about them.  

This is called Wicked.  It is here in Utah at Lagoon.  So.....much......fun..

But I have to say one of my all time favorites is at Knotts Berry Farm.  It is called Boomerang.  First you go forward, then you go backward.  L.O.V.E.D.....I.T.....

4.      Christmas or Thanksgiving?  Why? My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.  Its just a time to get together, and eat yummy food. One tradition that my kids hate, but that I really like is we go around the table and say what we are thankful for.  It changes from year to year.  I also write an individual letter to Mr. Dazee, my kids, their spouses, and my grandkids.  That reminds me, I best be getting some writing on.
5.  Man or Woman? This wasn't on my original question list but, omg, bring me the peroxide, hurry, pour it in my eyes.   Supposedly a woman.  Yeah, I'd do him/her.   N.O.T.  
oh, and You're Welcome
