Happy Thanksgiving to All!

A Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Enjoy your day no matter how big or small the crowd.

I read this in Dear Abby the other day and I want to share it will all of you.

Oh, Heavenly Father,

We thank you for food and remember the hungry.

We thank thee for health and remember the sick.

We thank thee for freedon and remember the enslaved.

May these rememberances stir us to service,

That thy gifts to us may be used for others.

Amen.

With love,

A way to say Thank you!

This is just in time for the holidays...

XEROX  IS DOING SOMETHING COOL
   
If you go to this web site,  www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out  a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a  soldier that is currently serving in Iraq .  You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the  armed services.
   
How AMAZING it would be if we could  get everyone we know to send one!!!    It is FREE and it  only takes a second.
   
Wouldn't it be wonderful if  the soldiers received a bunch of these?     Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over  there need to know we are behind them.  
   
This takes just 10 seconds and  it's a wonderful way to say thank you.     Please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's.  
   
Thanks for taking to time to  support our military!

Thank you!

Thank you to all those Men and Women that have sacrificed to protect the freedoms we sometimes take for granted. Some gave all.

We attended a Veteran's Day program one day in Lake Steven's a few years ago. It was touching. If you have an opportunity in your community, take the time and attend.
You'll be happy you did.

So, Thank you,
to my Tony (my father-in-law who served in WWII),
to my husband (five years in the US Air Force),
to my son (four years in the US Army, he was active duty on September 11, 2001).
And to Patty, Joey, Jay, Lee, Jackie, Kevin, Norm and to the families of those that serve,
all of you that give so much.

It's totally official and I have the paper to prove it! I have graduated from college.

I'm only about 30 years behind my peers, but better late than never.

Here's the latest "Come Junk With Us" Trip!

Rainy Days

So if any of you are in the Pacific Northwest this morning you have heard it rain all night long.
I actually love the sound of the rain beating on the roof or better yet the sky light in the master bath.
But what's a girl to do on a day like this...

Well, a few weeks ago my blueberry bushes looked like this.

Out I went to pick blueberries, put before there were all gone I wanted to rmember how beautiful they looked in the morning sun.

After the pictures were taken I got busy inside.
Don't they look wonderful?

The recipe made 16, more that I could eat (or should eat for that matter!
I froze some and this morning with the rain they just sound wonderful.
A hot blueberry scone and coffee, and the rain!
