What were you Thankful for?

Yesterday was Thanksgiving. It was busy! Today is quiet: a day to avoid the kitchen and reflect. (I'm quite thankful for the leftovers. It's one of the bonuses for hosting a holiday.)

I'm very grateful for those who joined us yesterday for food and fun.  I'm thankful for a break in routine. Oh, and my camera! I really love my camera and the surprises I occasionally find there:
On Thanksgiving our dog Chloe got to go for a walk and bury her nose in the snow. She loves the snow!
Our dog Dillon has a different nature: he waited patiently thru Macy's parade and then came alive for the Dog Show. In case you missed it, he could probably tell you who got 'Best in Show'.

One more time:

Chloe, the outdoor girl-dog, happy in the snow:

And Dillon, our tv-watching, couch potato guy-dog:

On another day, I'll share a story about our coffee drinking cat, Joe.
It's a crazy bunch.
What did you give thanks for on Thanksgiving?

What does platinum mean to you?

Platinum could mean a whole variety of things, from credit cards to wedding rings. But for me in particular ... and a bunch of my dance-lovin' friends ... it means 'The Best!'.
'Top Award' 'Highest Honor', 'We LOVE you' ... get my drift?


In October we attended Hollywood Dance Experience-Take 3 in Seattle and The Dance Studio girls competed. They received a Platinum Award for the dances they performed!!!
Were they happy? Oh yeah!

It's just so wonderful to be recognized and honored. It's something we all like.
Who will you honor today? Who will you recognize for a job well done?
