Thanksgiving

Well, it is officially Thanksgiving. My younger brother and his family will be celebrating this holiday with my older brother and I. I have a turkey that we will be deep frying. Will will also have smoked turkey breast, yams, potatoes, gravy, green beans, olives, rolls, pies, and red velvet cake for my nephew's, sister in law, and my birthday.

I wish that I could have all my children and grandchildren with me. I pray that some day I will have that as a blessing for me. It would mean so much to me, but at this time I am thankful for my family that I will have celebrating with me later today. I may not have a lot but I do have to thank the Lord for what I do have. I am thankful that my older brother has taken me in and allowed me to live in his house so I wouldn't be homeless. I am thankful that I have found out what my physical issue is and that there is a short term solution until I am able to finally fix it. I am thankful that I have a little money to help out. I am thankful for my friends that have shown me so much kindness. I am thankful for my oldest son that he is back with Teen Challenge and depending on the Lord to help him with his addiction, I am thankful for my daughter and her family that they welcome me and want me to visit with them. I am thankful that my granddaughters love to have me visit with them and that they miss me when I leave to go home, I am thankful for my youngest son and that he has been blessed with a job in a position that he has wanted for a long time. I am thankful that the Lord will someday bless me with being with my grandson Lucas. I am thankful most of all that my Father in Heaven loved me so much that He sent His Son to give me the gift of salvation.

That is what Thanksgiving is all about. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Homeward Bound to recover

The first night I was up visiting my daughter and family, I was having a great time playing with my oldest granddaughter. First time I was able to get down on the ground and play. Then I had a little acid reflux so I thought that I would quickly get something for my stomach to stop it. I explained it to my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. She understood and was going to go with me downstairs. Out of no where I tripped and fell. I twisted my left ankle and heard a crack sound. I was so afraid that I would fall on top of my granddaughter that I grabbed at anything to keep me from falling on her and possibly hurting her more than what I now was experiencing. I couldn't even walk that first night. It swelled up so much that I couldn't put on a shoe. It really caused a problem with playing with my granddaughters. Can you believe that something this weird would happen?

Happy Birthday

This past weekend was a celebration of my youngest granddaughter's 3rd birthday. She was so excited to have all the attention. On Saturday, her G&G Scellick came over to help her celebrate this milestone in her life. She loves to blow out the candles and to have the song "Happy Birthday" sung in honor of her. She is the Queen of the Fairies and loves the colors, pink and purple. She was very happy with all her presents that she got. Then on her actual birthday which was the 14th she got another special gift. It was a beanie baby. A little dog called Bones. It is too bad that I had gotten rid of all the ones I had because I could have given her Bones. Oh well, that is the way it works.

She is a sweet little girl and loves to play with her princesses. She acts shy but she is far from that. I am glad that I was able to celebrate her birthday with her. I have not been able to be at any of hers or her sisters birthday. I had a good time and now I am on my way home.

Going to Bellingham

I am getting my things together for my trip to Bellingham. I am going to be able to spend my first time with my granddaughters birthday. I am excited to be able celebrate her purple birthday. I still have to get a couple things for her. My daughter, Kamille said that what I have gotten her was enough. On Saturday,G&G Scellick with be there at the birthday party too. It will be fun.
