Happy Thankgiving

Today is Thanksgiving and I had a wonderful day with my mother and Doug and his family, my son and his family. We all ate til I thought I would pop. Then on the way home, we stopped at KMart to see what we could find. Not much, maybe tomorrow. My friend Bucky had been working on my laptop and he said to meet him there as he was taking Mary's grandparents home. It was good to see them. They are such nice people. Anyway, Bucky brought my laptop to me. I was going to watch a movie on it and I couldn't get the sound to work. Bucky was online and he told me how to un-mute everything. Meanwhile, I forgot I had turned the volume up all the way on everything. So I was sitting in the living room with headphones on so I could be with Doug and watch my movie while he watched football. When I pushed play on the movie, I about fell out of the chair. Doug thought I was having a heart attack because it scared me so bad I screamed. Bucky asked if I got a picture of it, I didn't. But I re-enacted the scene and Doug made a picture. So I will post it as soon as I get it downloaded. Right now I'm using my laptop having the time of my life. I haven't turned it off since I got it home. I think I'm gonna wear it out in one day. Anyway, the day is almost over and before we know it Christmas will be here. I can't wait, even though I'm supposed to work. I love this time of year. It's a time for family and friends to think about what Christmas is really all about. It's about the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I have been one of the most guilty of commercializing Christmas. But as I get older, I realize that we should focus on the true meaning of Christmas. I hope all who read this takes it to heart and thinks about it. Where would we be if Christ hadn't been born? What if He hadn't died for us? We would be hell-bound, that's for sure. Oh well, I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. To all my friends and family, I love you all. Part of Thanksgiving is being thankful for all the people we love. And I think I have better friends now than I ever have. "As for me and my house: We Will Serve The Lord." Happy Holidays Everybody!

About Me

I am now an RN. I love taking pictures, especially of my grandchildren. I love taking care of people and wish there was more time to do it. Management puts so much paperwork and picky stuff on us we really don't have time to do the job we are destined to do.
