Thanksgiving 2008. I wish I could put my thoughts into words like Katie does, but since I cannot I hope you will read their site, "Get Your Fill of Gill" and know that I echo everything she has put down so beautifully. We had such an enjoyable day at Mike and Bonnie's home. It is such a blessing to be together on this special holiday. Cliff had to work, Richard, Bonnie and Ben were in St. George celebrating with Bonnie Taylors family.

It is now time to put up the lights and decorate the tree as we all welcome in the Christmas Season.

DID YOU FIGURE IT OUT???

Yep, you are right, you have to read my posts with an open mind... I still cannot figure out how the top becomes the bottom and the bottom becomes the top - but at least I am continuing to try. Rome wasn't built in a day........

Ok, It worked, I am so impressed. The first picture was taken at the Luxor Temple and the second one needs no explanation. Now for the Jerusalem pictures. Dome of the Rock, and where the soldiers gambled for Christ's cloak. We are looking forward to hearing all about their exciting vacation when we gather at their home for Thanksgiving. It would be great if the whole family could be together for that day. We have so much to be thankful for and I wish all of you everywhere a very happy day. Eat lots, repent later if necessary.

If I am lucky there will be one more picture of Bert included here. He has been recovering from an operation to remove rocks and a toy from his stomach. What a delightful dog, he is a bundle of $$$$ going out the window each and every day.

Uncle Jay has been in the hospital due to another stroke. Thankfully this one was a small one and he is home now. He is still seeing double, taking his medications and trying to behave. A week before, Susie had arranged a big party for his 80th birthday. He was so happy to have his family all come at different times so he could get a chance to visit with them.

Life is very busy, or I am getting a lot slower, the days seem to have fewer hours in than they used to. I am trying to get used to being in Young Women again. It has been over 20 years since I last taught the Laurels. I tried to counsel the bishop, but he remained set in his decision. I had forgotten how many extra activities went along with the calling, but I am catching on fast.

So much for now I must watch "Dancing With The Stars" Be Happy

You might think it has been a long time since I wrote on my blog...but you would be wrong. I have written a couple of times and when I go to put in a picture somehow it cancels everything out so I just give up, but I am going to try again. Thought I would include a couple of pictures of Mike and Bonnie on their amazing trip to Israel and Egypt. Bonnie said she would like to go back and for someone who does not like to fly that is saying alot. So here you go.
