December 1, 2009
Today is December 1st! can you believe it? This year is quickly coming to a close! Another year just around the corner! Christmas is fast approaching! Still have some decorating and shopping to do. I have four great-grandchildren this year..and you know what that means? Lots of fun! Kids are what really helps make the holidays festive! Enjoy December and Christmas! Love your kids and family members and make some more beautiful memories.
This has been a great year for me. A new ggrandchild probably tops the list. He is amazing. As are his bros and his sis. There are so many wonderful things to remember and be grateful for in 2009. You all have your
lists, so I won't elaborate.
Smiles and Blessings dear friends!

The Day After
It's the day after Thanksgiving and I am still full!!!! Could probably go the rest of the week without eating! As I have consumed a weeks worth of calories...but it sure was good. My son-in-law is making some Turkey soup today, so that will be our dinner with left overs. YUMYum..
I have been out shopping on "Black Friday", however, I did not do the midnight things nor the early am sales. I made it to Target about ten. Found what I wanted so maybe it was luck. It's good to get some more Christmas shopping done. Kinda gets you in the Christmas spirit when you are out in the crowds and hearing Christmas music and seeing Christmas decorations. We are actually in the city!!!

Giving Thanks
Here are two Bible verses that I think are aprapo to Thanksgiving or any time for that matter!
1 Thessalonians--5:18---Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in
Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 13:16---Do not forget to do good and share with others, for which sacrifices God
is Pleased.

Giving Thanks at Thanksgiving!
This is the best time of the year! We get a little nostalgic and we recall memories from Thanksgiving's past! I can remember my parents making the stuffing and poking it in
that big ole' bird! We always had a huge turkey! I loved the aroma from all the good stuff
being cooked! There was always a debate about how long to cook the bird to make sure it
was cooked to perfection. Turkey and stuffing! Mother's great turkey gravy. Yummy! Can't wait to get to this years feast! Besides the turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, orange cranberry relish, cole slaw, and Grandma's fresh baked yeast rolls...lots of butter melted on them. For desert a lovely pumpkin pie, apple pie, a cake of some kind, icecream, and other delectable sweets brought by family members. Gallons of sweet icetea and later coffee with desert. Does all this sound too good? We are very fortunate to be able to sit
down at our tables and partake of this feast. Be thankful and remember those who are not
so fortunate. Be thankful for your family, those who are present and those who are no longer
with us, tell them how much you love them! Give them all a big hug!
Smiles and Blessings! and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Creative Christmas Ornaments
Today is my day off and I have been creating! Yeahhhh!!!! So much fun! I completed the snowman ornament and started some others. The first are tags that I covered with snow paper,
added the snowflakes, ribbons and lace. I also added a little glitter! The circular ones are paper mache that came from Michael's..the wonder store!!! These are also covered with paper, and
snowflakes, glitter, and lace. Some of these will go along with the snowman to their new owner!
Can't wait to see what comes my way! Have a great day and get creating! it will make you feel
good.
Smiles and Blessings!
