Finally...

It is the much anticipated return of the Dialogue! I know... I have had SO many fans wondering when I would return. I have avoided blogging because my internet protection service has gone haywire and no longer allows me to blog. The only chance I get to blog is by doing so at other's houses- and since I am at my brother's house for Thanksgiving- I get to blog! Yeah for me!

I did find out some rather exciting news. My subscription to 'the service' ends on December 12. At that point- if I chose not to renew- and I will not- then it will automatically erase itself from my hard drive! Hallelujah!

I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving. Julie and I spent the day shopping and getting ready for the biggest cooking day of the year. (I have been snapping pictures of our work all day long) Right now, I am sitting at the computer with a knife wound.

We have done prep work all day long and while we were getting ready for dinner this evening, I turned away just long enough to slice the top of my thumb nearly off. It is literally hanging on by a hair.

Nothing is more depressing for someone who enjoys cooking to know that they will have to work though Thanksgiving with a bandage on one hand. I will survive. The cooking must go on.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone... enjoy the day. We have so much to be Thankful for!

In honor of our new President elect... a Dialogue tribute.

Jason K. Ouellette

Today is a special day... a great day, actually. Today is the day my brother, Jason, was born. He and his wonderful wife have spent the last two days on a special 'birthday' get-away. (I hope you both enjoyed yourself)

Anyway... last year I told you five facts about Jason that you might not know- it was all done in love of course! So this year I have been trying to think what I can do to commemorate this wonderful day: the day God gave me a brother. I looked back at last year's post to refresh my memory.

If you remember, and you might not, number one was about a picture. A picture that I keep on my desk of Jason when he was in second grade. (The one to the left) I really like it because I think it captures him so well.

It captures his pleasantness and his easy going personality. He is such a genuinely happy person that it is hard not to see this picture and smile. (These days I look at this picture and think how fun it will be to be an uncle to a 'little Jason!')

.

I have also included another one- one taken only a year ago with him and Julie. You can see the same smile and tell he hasn't changed that much at all... and that's a good thing!

Happy Birthday Jason

I love you!
