The Inside Scoop:
Happy Friday, everyone! This week was a long week for me – and for no particular reason…it just was. Work was the usual, home life was normal and life is good. I did attend a Bar-J Wrangler’s concert last night. The FFA at our local high school brings them out every year as part of their fund raising. My dad is a country boy and LOVES old country western music, so we go every year. It was a good time spent with family and friends.
But back to this week being long – maybe it’s because I have a short work week next week and am anxious for it to come! Thanksgiving is next week!!! There have been so many good posts lately with tips and recipes to help keep your Thanksgiving satisfying and fulfilling, yet healthy. Check out some a my favorites below and show them some Link Love!
