Last year, I made cookies for people who live in my apartment building, close by, people who don't really have anyone who cares about them...so I made cookies for them and gave my time and energy to spending some time with them by getting to know them better.


That was a great question homoe, so I'll use it for mine too:

Give me three ways you give back to others, at Christmas time...

My youngest brother and I share an inseparable bond. My second youngest brother is tender hearted, like an child. My sister and I don't speak to each other at all, but I love her ability to step up and help my mother, which she would never do, years ago.

Give me three things you enjoy on an daily basis....

2) having morning coffee on front porch or back deck, depending on weather( deck not covered)
3) bird watching


GM3 things you need to remember to be grateful for, because you often take for granted?

Then, this afternoon, pedicure, manicure, long hot bubble bath and by evening, finish reading White Palace....

Then tomorrow, Sunday, I am doing a day trip to visit places in my area to see the beautiful trees and take a bunch of pictures :)

Give me three places you've visited during October that will be remembered for a very long time....

3. She feels the cello is a more technically difficult instrument to learn as opposed to the piano and "violins are too screechy."

I will most likely only get to see Thurgood Marshall, but if the other two movies are still playing by Thanksgiving, I hope to go see either one of the others!

Give me three traditional foods you like at Thanksgiving?

Fruit cocktail, with bananas & marshmallows in whipped creme. My mom always made this growing up but it could be a regional thing I dunno!
Gimme 3 things you will do on Thanksgiving either with family or alone...

Miss Katz, I was just reading a review of the Marshall movie and while it got rave reviews here in the Seattle Times, they did mention it wasn't a documentary as much a very famous case he tried in the East as a lawyer defending a man against a rape charge. Regardless, I think it'll be a good movie and hope to catch it myself.

If the weather hold up and it's beautiful, then go sight seeing around town (trees).
