THANKSGIVING

We will have 4 of our grand children coming here for Thanksgiving.

I wish they could all be here but they will all be home for Christmas.

We had such a good time on our family cruise in October. Everyone wants to do it again!

My focus is now on Thanksgiving dinner and getting ready.

I love the holidays even though they are a lot of work for me.

Thanksgiving is very special to me because "The Real " Santa comes to town at the end of the Thanksgiving parade in New York City. I still feel like a kid when I see Santa arrive.

The sight of Santa signals that it is time to get ready for Christmas!

I do have one gripe though.

What happened to his sleigh?

The big Swan just doesn't do it for me.

Now, it is time for Thanksgiving and I do give thanks for my wonderful family!

VOTE TODAY

BIRTH TODAy HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIEANNA!

Just talked to my sister a little while ago. She is at the hospital with her daughter and her family.

Her daughter is having a baby today. Brieanna should be here before dinner time tonight.

Brieanna is a month early and the pregnancy has been a very difficult one. It has been a high risk pregnancy. 

Please say a prayer today for Beth as she delivers and for little  Brieanna who is barely 5 pounds.

WEE FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Saturday, we saw grandson, Cameron play football.

It was so cute.

He followed the coaches up and down the side lines in hopes of being put into the game.

He is 8 years old and played the game with as much purpose as a college player.

He looked so much bigger in all of his football gear.

Wasn't it yesterday when he was born????

WELL, ANOTHER HARD DAY OF WORK IS DONE!

WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN? I HAD TO PASS THIS ALONG!

What does Love mean?

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"


"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.  So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
Rebecca- age 8


"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."

Billy - age 4 (I love this one)


"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."

Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.

Chrissy - age 6


"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."

Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.

>Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired
of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.

My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss".Emily - age 8


"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
 


"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with
a friend who you hate,"

Nikka - age 6

(we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are
still friends even after they know each other so well.
Tommy - age 6


"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."

Elaine-age 5


"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left
him alone all day."

Mary Ann - age 4


"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her
old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."

Lauren - age 6

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)

Karen - age 7


"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't
think it's gross."

Mark - age 6


"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.


Jessica - age 8


And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked

about a contest he was asked to judge.

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.



The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was
an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.


Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's

yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little

boy said,

"Nothing, I just helped him cry"
