Prayer Board...

The last of the 3 boards...I forgot to post this when I finished it ... for the Ladies Prayer Room at church...
I really like the scrapbook line...Fancy Pants, that I used to create these boards
and a few extras added also.

Now...getting ready to work on some wonderful Christmas gifts with...
my favorites...7 Gypsies...My Minds Eye...Cosmo Cricket...Scenic Route
and Pink Paisley.

Our Family...my heart

Thinking of you all today...and wishing we were all together sitting around the family table eating and sharing all the laughter and the kids rompimg around the house...it is too quite at home today. Have a wonderful day...we are cooking together the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner and Bob has had a few naps and helped
with our wonderful recipes...got to go and finish the Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce.

Happy Thanksgiving ... have a blessed day

God, bring to my mind all that I need to be thankful for. I sometimes get so hurried and hassled that I don't still my heart and know You are God and in all my daily
thoughts and needs. So...at this moment I say Thank You, God for most of all loving me at all times...giving me grace daily and for hearing my prayers and blessing my life...but also my children and my grandchildren. You are a faithful God.

Ephesians 5:20



Abundance is ... a Thanksgiving turkey cooking in the oven.

Abundance is ... sleeping in and watching the Thanksgiving Parade in Detroit
feeling like a kid again...waiting for SANTA.

Abundance is ... the arrival of Collin to our family.

Abundance is ... our health and not so much our wealth.

Abundance is ... enjoying being with each other.

Abundance is ... a heart full of thanks for simple pleasures of life.

Abundance is ... our children and wonderful grandchildren.

Have a great day ... take time to remember and recall all we have to be thankful for
on this Thanksgiving Day.

It's November and snowing at home...

Make a Wish...Andrew

Happy Birthday...Andrew is 13!

Andrew, celebrated his 13th birthday this Sunday the 23rd. The year Andrew was born
was special because of him...and that he was born on THANKSGIVING Day. We had so much to be thankful for and now...this little baby...is a teenager. He had a great
party with his friends...and we spent Sunday with our family celebrating with
dinner, gifts and a huge Cookie Cake. Some favorites gifts he got...Ipod...Dennis now wants one... and Alivia wishes she was a teen...so she could have one too. Also video game...gift cards and a sweet amount of cash...and Jodie sure taught him how to shop...they have plans in the makes. Andrew had 2 basketball games
Sunday night to play...and he has been averaging 11 points himself in his games.
Go Andrew! He is a wonderful grandson...and we love him...his joking, I love to hear him laugh...and how he pursues what ever he does...always learning
