Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!! =D

My Brothers BBQing a turkey tomorrow that's been defrosting in the fridge since last Thursday. If you don't hear from me again, I died of food poisoning

Autumn in Paradise Ca.

These trees are at the church next to my home. I love watching the leaves change colors every Fall.

And the Oscar goes to.....

Well,
It better go to my Lil Leo this time.
He's not really mine but I've been calling him that since Titanic.
Me and 42 million other girls and maybe even a few men were  infatuated with him around 14 years ago when the blockbuster hit the big screen. I made all my friends go see it and I went 6 times. (Shhhh, dont tell anyone, I'm a little embarrassed about it).
My daughter was only two when Titanic came out and he was on the cover of EVERY magazine. She would see the magazine racks and shout "Leo" "Leo" "Leo" while pointing at every one that had his pic on the front. I'm pretty sure she was his youngest fan at the time.

I've seen most of Leonardos movies and am wondering why he has been snubbed at the Academy awards.
I think he is an amazing actor (And not because of Titanic) especially since he really hasn't had all the schooling and training that many actors have. He just seems to come by it naturally.
Have you seen "Whats eating Gilbert Grape"? He plays Johnny Deps mentally challenged younger brother. He was amazing in that role. I also think he did a terrific portrayal of Howard Hughes in the movie "The Aviator" Lets not forget his roles in Blood Diamond, Inception, Catch me if you can, The Departed, Shutter Island, the list goes on and he has unbelieveable talent that the Academy Awards keep ignoring. "Grrr"!

I'm am really hoping that this will be his year with the movie "J. Edgar" and with Clint Eastwood as his director that's always a good sign.
Keep your fingers crossed that My (Our) Lil Leo gets his long over due Oscar this year!
