I've eaten food from Rosalee's several times over the past two years from their delivery services, but this is the first time I've dined in their restaurant. Located on the corner of a major intersection, the interior is nicely and dimly lit with painted light bulbs to give the light a nice shade of red that goes wonderfully with the dominantly green inside.

Today was a day with the family. All of us gathered around one large wooden table with extensions installed, sitting on benches, roll-around chairs, and whatever else we could find to use a chair to provide seating for the entire family around a single table. Each year, I'm still amazed that it's possible to fit all of us and all of the food in one room around one table. If Thanksgiving is about togetherness, then we've got that part covered.

A man from Montana flew in to Phoenix to visit his family for Thanksgiving. When he stepped off the plane, he noticed the temperature was about 60 degrees. Despite the relatively warm weather, everyone was wearing coats, and there was a snow-like substance sprinkled all over the ground.

When he arrived at his family's house, he told them what he saw. "Everyone was wearing heavy coats, there is white powder all over the ground, and it's not even cold. What's going on?"

"What do you mean?" asked his Uncle Bob. "This is the time of year when you're supposed to wear coats. What does cold have to do with anything?"

"People wear coats to keep warm. You don't need them here in Phoenix," said the man.

"Yeah, right," replied Uncle Bob. "It's always warm -- Why would anyone wear a coat to keep warm? Next thing you know, you're going to try and tell us that snow just falls out of the sky all on its own."
