Hey there Internets!

Shakespeare said something like “a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet”.

This is also true for the lowly Pecan Sandy.

Or Mexican Wedding cookie

Or Russian Tea cake.

Or Snowball.

This past month , Oh Nuts contacted me and asked if I’d review some of their products.

Who wouldn’t jump at that chance.

So I perused their web site and chose Spiced Pecans and something else I will talk about tomorrow.

I had considered making a pecan pie with them, but then I went to the parents house and mom had had some Mexican Wedding Cookies Russinan Tea Cakes Pecan Sandies.   And I couldn’t get it out of my head that they would be absolutely fabulous with spiced pecans in them.
yummy

And Internet I was right.

I didn’t think these cookies could get any better, but I was wrong.

Why don’t you go check out Oh Nuts…they have more than nuts there.

 

But you know what made them even sweeter?

I’m thankful that Superman and I are in a position that we can help the boy when needed.

 

20th~~

I’m thankful that Superman, even though he is afraid of heights and doesn’t like to do work on the house, was able to plastic the side of the back porch and rehang some broken metal on the house.

Today I am thankful for Facebook.

 

It not only keeps me entertained, but I get to connect with people all over the world.

 

Now for a nosy question….

 

What is the weirdest thing you have in your purse right now?

 

For me???

 

I have a screw driver and a dirty spoon.

Hey Internets.

 

I haven’t been on almost all weekend.

 

So…Saturday I was thankful for the whole sleeping in thing.

 

Sunday I was thankful for Superman’s kind heart that had him beside the road changing a tire for a little old couple.

 

Today I’m thankful for a friend taking me to work so that my exhaust system can be fixed.

Today is Veterans Day.

 

Today I’m thankful for all those who have fought/are fighting/and will be fighting for freedom.

 

Not only for myself, but my children, my grandchildren, etc.

 

And a big shout out to my Superman.

 

PS.   Subway is giving away free 6″ subs to veterans today.

Today I am thankful for my DVR.

 

I love being able to fast forward through all the stupid commercials, and to be able to watch my shows when I want.

Okay…so I missed yesterday, but it seems that November is the month to be thankful.

 

So, yesterday I was thankful that I had an ice scraper for my car.

 

Today I’m thankful that it is warm enough that I don’t NEED an ice scraper for my car.
