Back from OK

We got back from Oklahoma Saturday night. It was great to spend some time with all the family. I hadn't seen my sister Sandy for almost 2 years. My brother Tom wrote about the trip in his blog and published a picture of the whole clan. I decided to post a picture of what I will remember and that is some very joyful, full of life youth of the next generation ;-) It was a great time, and one that comes way to seldom.

Here is a picture of Sandy and Rons two kids

Skinny Santa?

Just finishing Thanksgiving and now the news is that Santa is too fat, so there is a move on to slim him down. after all he is a role model. I don't know, but I think leave the jolly ole man alone!

Johnny Cash Thanksgiving prayer in song

The funny thing about Thanksgiving, or any huge meal, is that you spend 12 hours shopping for it and then chopping and cooking and braising and blanching. Then it takes 20 minutes to eat it and everybody sort of sits around in a food coma, and then it takes four hours to clean it up. ~Ted Allen












Yep, we did it, Thanksgiving at the Cracker Barrel. It was not a unanimous vote by any means, some of the family thought is was a fantastic idea, others thought we had totally lost our minds. Since I am not one of the cooks I was just glad to eat ;-) I had the uncle Hershel's favorite (breakfast) others had the traditional meal. The day to me is not about the meal, but about sharing time together. We left the restaurant the family headed to Lori's I headed to MEMS first to check on how the crews were being fed. At MEMS I visited with those souls that work the holidays so you and I can have the care we need "in case of emergency". I had the privilege of spending time with Ron, he is my friend who "died" a few weeks ago, that visit put the meaning of the day in focus for me.

Someday....

When you tough it out, hold the line, and stay the course, I promise you, there will soon come a day when you look back over your shoulder, shake your head in dismay, and seriously wonder what all the fuss was about.

Celebration

Sunday we celebrated Thanksgiving as a church as well as the Birthday of Brad (sorry for the bad pictures, my camera had a bad day)
It was such a pleasure to share a meal together. We spent some time talking about the things we were thankful for in our lives and the things we sometimes take for granted. Let me say again, I am very happy to be a part of this community, I watched us yesterday I believe we sincerely enjoy each other's company. Again, one of those things we sometimes take for granted, may we no more.

“A friend is someone who understand your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are”

Happy Thanksgiving!
