Happy Thanksgiving

There are times that life gets so hectic I fail to stop and be thankful. So today, here's a look a some of what I have to be thankful for:

* my husband
* my sons
* our good health
* that my parents are both able to celebrate with us
* that I have such good friends to call whenever I need to talk
* my ladies in Bible Study
* the doctor and shot in my foot that made it possible for me to stand and cook for my family
* time way with my husband
* parents to kept the kids so I could get away.

Those a must a few of the things that come to mind as I sit here today. I know there's much, much more.

But most of all, I'm thankful for Jesus, for His willingness to take my place on the cross, and for the salvation He makes possible.

Thanksgiving

Another year past. My parents were well enough to travel for the holiday and visited relatives in an adjoining state. As a result, my family of four stayed home, alone, and had a nice quiet day yesterday.

I do NOT go shopping on Black Friday and today was no exception. My oldest DS and I went to visit my parents' cat at the kennel. Crazy, I know, but you have to know this cat. He was thrilled to see us and shed about a pound of fur to prove it. I normally don't mind being around cats, as I have one, but today was different. Matlock actually climbed up on my shoulder. Not something he normally does. He was happy to see us, but will be better when my parents return.

I did shop today, from the ease of my chair with the help of my computer and credit card. The DSes are mostly taken care of, as are my parents. Hubby still has to come through with a wish list.

I have signed all the Christmas cards. Now I must spend time addressing them tomorrow.
