Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to wish all my readers a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.  It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving Day is upon us in just as little as two days.

This year, I want you all to think about what you are thankful for.

I thought about it and all I can think of is, I'm thankful for all my wonderful friends that God has placed in my life.  I'm also thankful for my husband Chuck, my children Bill, Tom, my foster son John, Tom's wife Stephanie, Bill's girlfriend Cindy, John's girlfriend Jamie and all my grandkids they brought into my life.  I'm also thankful that God has allowed his son to die for all my sins, so that I can have eternity with him.

God Bless you all! 

My little Jacob

Wow, what an expression on that cute little face. He looks like he has seen a ghost, doesn't he.

We welcome Paul to give us that perfect beat of the drums.

Here was Pop-pop Chuck before Halloween

I tried warning him but he wouldn't listen. See his feet are all ready growing to the floor. The next picture shows what he turned into. Just in time for Halloween.

Happy Halloween to all my little grandchildren. Don't eat too much candy or you may turn into a candy bar, LOL.

Happy Halloween

Tootie you looked wonderful in your Wilson Warrior sweatshirt. There were so many people there to mourn the loss, but we all know that we will see you again. The pastor said today that you are trying on your new body, when you arrived to be with our Lord and Saviour. What a laugh we all gave, just to imagine you saying "look at me" and you moving in a modeling way.

Tootie you are with your partner Sach (Mike) whom you missed so very much, when he passed last November. Watch over your boys as they live their lives to make you both proud. R.I.P.

HAPPY 34TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO US

Wow! It is hard to believe that today is Chuck and mine wedding anniversary. Where do the years go. Here is what we looked like 34 years ago on this very special day.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

We have a New Boss

The boss from hell is what we have. She moved me to another corner because of false allegations were made about me talking on my cell while crossing kids. The kids and parents are upset over this move. She moved other people as well and the ones that are out on, either a medical leave or filling in on their other job, are afraid they aren't going to get their corners back. We never had this problem before. When I was the boss, many years ago, I treated everyone equally. Karen our old boss went around our schedules to get corners covered. This boss leaves corners unattended to eye spy on guards. I think that it is ashame. Treating us like little kids. Hopefully, she will get what is intended for her in the end, and that is to be moved to a corner she couldn't handle.

Unemployment

Well Chuck was able to use my computer with the web browser Firefox to get his claim in on time to open for the start of the week. Hooray!

Wow, that was pain in the butt. I thought it was never going to go through. Now we have to wait for about three weeks until we see a check, YUK!

Thank goodness my Christmas shopping is done except for John, Jamie, Steph, and Cindy.
