On Saturday we took the kids to Glendale Glitters. This amazing lighting show has been going on for the past fourteen years in the City of Glendale, Arizona. Many make the trek just to go see the millions of lights on display. It was so packed with people we could hardly walk. We still managed to have fun though.

This is what it looked like outside on Thanksgiving day. Although the weather was actually very nice, the sky was cloudy all day long.

On Thanksgiving day we were sitting out in the patio, it had been cloudy all day but the weather was absolutely gorgeous. All of a sudden I looked up and saw one of the most impresive cloud formations I've seen in a while, of course I had to go inside to get my camera. I was hoping the cloud wouldn't dissipate too fast, lucky for me it didn't.

Images captured by: Mark
My niece Cyrstal emailed me these images of the Chino Fires in California. Her friend and co-worker Mark caputured these images and sent them to her and then he was evacuated from his house. These images put things into perspective, and make me realize that I do have lots to be thankful this year.

Sadly I didn't have an image ready for today so I will repeat this one I found in my achives. I just love how this house escaped being demolished as progress came to Phoenix. Now it sits regally in the midst of all the new buildings.

I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull up tough
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of smooth skin
You say you wanna get in my benz
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy
Sorry I just couldn't resist.

This is what all these little lakes in my neighbourhood are. See all the plants in the picture, they were cut in error and they have been desperately trying to grow them back as they are home to thousands of birds.

NASCAR is in town and the party is in full force. Last night we saw a lot or car carrier big rigs leaving town. I am sure from Friday's race. I capture this image about a month ago during the Fire Station open house, notice the PIR logo. Yes my friends PIR (Phoenix International Raceway) is actually not in Phoenix but in Avondale, just a mere ten minutes away from where I live.

And then we have these walking/joggin' trails that go around the lakes, I'm sure twice around would be a mile and I never used them. I am just not a runner although we have walked them a few times.

Another shot from the Palm Springs Tram area. The water coming down the rock had a very soothing sound but a blue goat?

Being that I am the Ford lover that I am, I would love to own this flawless 1956 Ford F-100 pick up truck. It's up for grabs at the "Spotlight 29" casino in Coachella.
