Looking forward to the Parade tomorrow.<br /></span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hFvD4zDKdL4/TwFW6mn73aI/AAAAAAAAPgw/76EUKiQEzL4/s1600/IMG_1645.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692926968773467554" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hFvD4zDKdL4/TwFW6mn73aI/AAAAAAAAPgw/76EUKiQEzL4/s200/IMG_1645.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AtM-ArJMKyg/TwFW6Y3UftI/AAAAAAAAPgY/IVndnmGlc7Y/s1600/IMAG1467.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692926965079899858" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AtM-ArJMKyg/TwFW6Y3UftI/AAAAAAAAPgY/IVndnmGlc7Y/s200/IMAG1467.jpg" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R5ynq1bK1g0/TwFW6VTD3HI/AAAAAAAAPgg/2d9yQhPmwiA/s1600/IMAG1470.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692926964122508402" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R5ynq1bK1g0/TwFW6VTD3HI/AAAAAAAAPgg/2d9yQhPmwiA/s200/IMAG1470.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lDbflU_gV58/TwFV0OS_J-I/AAAAAAAAPfw/aNtWPtoFp1U/s1600/IMG_1634.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925759652308962" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lDbflU_gV58/TwFV0OS_J-I/AAAAAAAAPfw/aNtWPtoFp1U/s200/IMG_1634.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SzAdddO4FM8/TwFV0MmJhdI/AAAAAAAAPgA/sGyF47-sQkA/s1600/IMG_1649.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925759195809234" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SzAdddO4FM8/TwFV0MmJhdI/AAAAAAAAPgA/sGyF47-sQkA/s200/IMG_1649.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XqYEmjXlQjg/TwFV1GuU83I/AAAAAAAAPgM/Ih3NFyYEcd4/s1600/IMG_1656.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925774799369074" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XqYEmjXlQjg/TwFV1GuU83I/AAAAAAAAPgM/Ih3NFyYEcd4/s200/IMG_1656.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TDbypxo2ujw/TwFVz7_Vn7I/AAAAAAAAPfo/WsfSiw8d4wk/s1600/IMG_1624.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925754738057138" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TDbypxo2ujw/TwFVz7_Vn7I/AAAAAAAAPfo/WsfSiw8d4wk/s200/IMG_1624.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AgGvgI36Qig/TwFVIk_vy4I/AAAAAAAAPfE/3zdSm304Y0g/s1600/IMG_1601.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925009831381890" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AgGvgI36Qig/TwFVIk_vy4I/AAAAAAAAPfE/3zdSm304Y0g/s200/IMG_1601.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gTysQcRDI6M/TwFVJRIAL2I/AAAAAAAAPfQ/D8fEGFYyf_8/s1600/IMG_1607.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925021677170530" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gTysQcRDI6M/TwFVJRIAL2I/AAAAAAAAPfQ/D8fEGFYyf_8/s200/IMG_1607.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1bAXHtnJRqw/TwFVITiHUvI/AAAAAAAAPe4/LUt2YCeCJhE/s1600/IMG_1595.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925005143692018" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1bAXHtnJRqw/TwFVITiHUvI/AAAAAAAAPe4/LUt2YCeCJhE/s200/IMG_1595.JPG" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l4wz-fEXa64/TwFVIPasBOI/AAAAAAAAPes/equ0j2oxqqg/s1600/IMG_1592.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925004038800610" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l4wz-fEXa64/TwFVIPasBOI/AAAAAAAAPes/equ0j2oxqqg/s200/IMG_1592.JPG" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rgSS6V0hml4/TwFVJnBPFwI/AAAAAAAAPfc/kzTwfGOT4s8/s1600/IMG_1613.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692925027554367234" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rgSS6V0hml4/TwFVJnBPFwI/AAAAAAAAPfc/kzTwfGOT4s8/s200/IMG_1613.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This post was imported to Facebook from my blog.

I was surprised the next day when I walked into the Starbucks on Washington (We refer to this as the Mafia Starbucks due to the large number of men that hang out outside all the time-however this has improved over the last year or so) and saw a similar sign. I took another picture. When I walked into the Starbucks on Foothill and Madre I knew immediately that their sign was the best-by far. (In case you are interested I refer to this Starbucks as either "The Best Buy Starbucks" or "My Home Starbucks". Also depicted here is the sign at the Starbucks on Hill between Walnut and Colorado (reffered to as the Hill Starbucks) and the Hastings Ranch Starbucks (Which we actually call the Hastings Ranch Starbucks)</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">I was informed that Lindsay drew the winning entry in the unofficial contest (that I started)-Great job, Lindsay-You win!!

The one that sent me over the edge (and prompted this blog) was the bubble wrapped "Visit from Santa" ornament. Look at this super tiny ornament with well over 2 square feet of bubble wrap! </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">In addition to the ridiculous amount of bubble wrap, Hallmark also uses plastic "fitted" inserts into their boxes or plain old tissue paper. What I want to know is what determines what type of wrap they use? I don't envision a great assembly line for packaging instead I envision 1000's of Hallmark elves in this huge disorganized warehouse and they just grab the thing closest to them for packaging. </span><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qP6_fYyKFPE/Tv6ao7CQTeI/AAAAAAAAPcU/8Fuanqttq8A/s1600/download3.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 191px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692157006875479522" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qP6_fYyKFPE/Tv6ao7CQTeI/AAAAAAAAPcU/8Fuanqttq8A/s320/download3.jpg" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uS_vzePeeK4/Tv6ao4I7pwI/AAAAAAAAPco/2nv3LcmssrM/s1600/download4.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 191px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692157006098179842" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uS_vzePeeK4/Tv6ao4I7pwI/AAAAAAAAPco/2nv3LcmssrM/s320/download4.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a8fA-0F0Dng/Tv6ao_E4itI/AAAAAAAAPcM/oZcOouqQB_s/s1600/download2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 191px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692157007960246994" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a8fA-0F0Dng/Tv6ao_E4itI/AAAAAAAAPcM/oZcOouqQB_s/s320/download2.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WLdsGniOryo/Tv6aouGaVKI/AAAAAAAAPcE/uNWfnXxv8lk/s1600/download1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 191px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692157003403252898" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WLdsGniOryo/Tv6aouGaVKI/AAAAAAAAPcE/uNWfnXxv8lk/s320/download1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">This post was imported to Facebook from my blog.

On the 23rd Sydney Sydney said to me "Mom is today still your birthday" and when I said "No" she said "But Mom we didn't get you a cake" (She was really upset about it and I got to thinking where the heck is my ice cream cake?) I told her, "This year I am going to share my cake with Jesus for his birthday too".

Thank goodness for mom who helped me cook and along with Grace made all of the deserts (and saved my mashed potatoes) Besides Turkey and Mashed Potatoes we had Linda's (David's cousin) Sausage and Sage Stuffing, Pearl Onions, regular stuffing, Braised Cabbage, Green Bean casserole (By Rachel and the best one I have ever had), Beet salad, Yams, Ham, Potatoes and Carrots, Cornbread, Pumpkin Cheesecake and Pecan Pie.
