Eat, Drink and be Thankful

thanksgiving

This was Google’s page last year for Thanksgiving and I thought it was very cool. so I saved it and want to share it now. It has all the elements of a happy Thanksgiving. Especially the pie on the “G.”

I hope you have a nice dinner with family or friends. Be thankful for your blessings, and save me a slice of pie!

Netflix

We have Comcast cable at the house, but the cost of the new release movies is too high. When I want to watch a new movie, Its much cheaper to stop at Redbox and pick it up, keep it for 24 hours so I can watch it 2 or 3 or more times if I want to, and then drop it off at any Redbox on my way out the next day.

My step daughter was telling me that Netflix has an even better deal than that. You can sign up with Netflix for just $8 per month and watch as many movies and most popular TV shows as many times as you want. I don’t think I actually spend $8 a month at Redbox, but if I gave up cable and could pay only $8 a month for both movies and TV shows, then I would be saving a lot of money on entertainment each month.

Off Road

Have you ever taken a car or truck off road? I used to do that a lot with my brother. He had a great old Ford Bronco that he customized and would take it mud bogging. I bought a Jeep and had a ton of fun with that, too. I miss those days. Driving has become endless miles of highway instead of anything fun. Maybe its time to buy a 4-wheeler at least and get back outside for fun in the woods or the mud.

Fish Food

We started a small 10 gallon aquarium this year. It’s only got goldfish in it, but they are lively and pretty and I like having fish in the house. So today I needed to pick up a bottle of fish food. Of course, I could not go into the pet store and not look at all the fish they have for sale. I ended up buying three little tetras to join my goldfish. They eat the same food and they should get along OK with the goldfish without territory issues. Its kind of fun to bring home new fish and add them to the tank.
