Okay, we had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving with our son and his family down in Missouri. Our daughter, her husand and 2 kids followed us down to Missouri Thursday afternoon. Left here about 330pm and arrived about 630pm. We stopped one time to get gas and a few other items (like unload the grandkids into the bathroom!). Man, gas $1.41 a gallon!

We had our Thanksgiving dinner Friday. Nice turkey and great ham, plus all the fixings and different kinds of pie. Surprising how much can be made with 4 women in the kitchen! I believe everyone ate their fill, and then some.

We all enjoyed ourselves, the kids having a blast together. No fighting amongst all those kids, and they actually obeyed the adults! Had plenty there to keep everyone busy, movies, tv (wide screen in 4 rooms!), pool table, wii and xbox and ps3.

Left Saturday afternoon about 130pm, stopped for gas and to get some coffee. Then it was driving from then on in snow/rain mix. Yes, starting snowing with a bit of rain mixed in that morning and we drove in it all the way to Iowa when it became just snow. And it has been snowing here ever since. Have about 2 inches or so on the ground now. Plows busy keeping the roads cleared. And our dog enjoying romping in the snow (so far, wait until it is higher than her). Oh, we left Coco, our dog, home on this trip with a neighbor boy taking care of her. He also took care of our daughter’s dogs. So Coco was happy as can be when we got home yesterday. She does not eat much while we are gone, so she chowed down once she knew we were home for good.

On the way home, we all stopped at one place just before the Iowa line to again hit the bathrooms plus get cigarettes as they are cheaper in Missouri. Heck, my little cigars I like are $3.09 a pack here but I bought cartons of them while there for $8.54 per carton! Nice savings right there….

Waiting now for the BCS college football standings to come out. Watched Oklahoma Sooners win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. So that leaves in the Big 12 a 3-way tie with Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech. Hoping that Oklahoma moves up to number two in the BCS standings today. Now if Alabama can lose their last game, I would be very happy to see the Sooners on top again!

Something I came across this morning. Even happen to you that you have a stuck pixel on your monitor? Happened only one time to me and it was easy to fix. So if you have a stuck pixel, before you rush off to buy a new monitor, go to this website and use one or more of the fixes that may work for you and save you buying a new monitor. Just go to: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-software-solutions-to-fix-a-stuck-pixel-on-your-lcd-monitor/

Okay, got two great pro football games on tv, so have to close out this post for the day. But first, check out some of these sites of mine. May be of interest to you.
