Charlotte's Corn Ma(i)ze

It's a bit late ---- However ---- As promised - we went to the corn maze this year, we went a couple weeks later than we planned - however, we still made it!  It was an amazing time, cold, but amazing none-the-less.

Because I can't seem to focus long enough to form a comprehensive thought - I'll post some pictures, and you'll get the idea <3

100 Things you didn't care to read ...

I am a firm believer in not having to work the day before, or after, a Major Holiday.   AND In MY world, Thanksgiving is the Major-est of Major Holidays, it is my most favorite day of the year by far.  You gather around your table (or a relatives table) with all your loved ones gathered close and eat a great meal.  With no pretenses of gifts to give or receive, just to be grateful for the past and coming year ... I have a lot to be thankful for, and as I said in my last blog, I'm thankful all year, or I try to be ... also, I have a lot of time on my hands because I'm not focused enough to be working.  I'm a waste today.  Complete Waste.   So... since I have time on my hands, I'm going to answer 100 questions and waste some of your time :)
