Thanksgiving and all that it entails

Thanksgiving......I have a lot of thanks to give, but I won't do it all here. Some of the things I'm thankful for are the generic things that most folks give thanks for: health (although I have something bronchial going on at the moment), children (4 to be exact and 2 g'children), animals (1 horse - the smartest in the world, by the way, and looks very good in his new haircut I gave him), parents (both still here and basically in good health), sibling (1 brother), vehicle (new truck, oh yeah, and it likes to go to the mountains), food ($160.00 for Thanksgiving, alone, which I intend to eat leftovers for quite some time), and good friends (of which I am meeting some school chums on Friday for lunch.)....yes, I still associate, communicate, and eat with quite a few of my old school friends.

Quite a repertoire of thankfulness.

I also am thankful that our God is a God of comfort and peacefulness. I have a cousin who is having some seriously rough surgery, today, and I know that God in His infinite wisdom will be there and in control. Thank you for that.

I hope that we take the time to remember all of the things that we are thankful for and not just that tomorrow will be a day of feasting and napping and looking at newspaper ads.

P.S. Who is going to write us a really good Thanksgiving song? Are there some hidden in the dark archives that need to be brought to light....

first

For lack of a better title - I started this blog journey with "first". "first" originated because a friend invited me to follow her blog. I accepted and was taunted or teased (however you care to look at it) by the Google page to start my own blog. Sounds like fun and therapy at the same time. So, here I am.

I'm learning the settings as I try to work, so I'll be changing things around until I get settled....which may be never.

There have been a LOT of "firsts" in my life....car (70-something Nova), date (we won't talk about that), husband (we won't talk about that, either), child (she's a teacher), house (still in it and probably always will be), flight (to Europe...what fun), job (nursery...flowers), and various and sundry others.

I'm not sure I like this font....Let's see what else they've got. Not much to choose from. Here's another one. One more. Oh, well, back to the original.

I hope that you will enjoy my blog and that you will laugh....a lot.
