Happy Thanksgiving

It's such a wonderful, memory making day and I am wishing all the bloggers a very Happy and safe Thanksgiving Day!!

I have enjoyed wandering and perusing the various sites seeking out new and familiar recipes to prepare for our family. The very next day begins our house decorating for Christmas. I so love that as well!! We don't have a tree yet, but I love looking over all the hand-made ornaments made by my children throughout the year and remembering Christmas' gone by when they were just little kids. It's all such a magical time of year. This year I started listening to Christmas music right after Halloween. I haven't yet been able to find a radio station for my car, but we are set at home. Michael W. Smith has his new CD out for the season and can be found at:

Have a wonderful day and don't forget to give thanks for the many blessings we have been given!

Older we get

My mom used to say that as we get older the years pass like months and the months pass like days and time just goes by quicker. I think I must be getting old cause that's exactly what seems to be happening. I just look away and we are not only in a new month, but almost the first week of the new month has passed and I haven't even changed my calendar yet!!

This Saturday is the day. I'll have to change my profile because as of Saturday I will officially be 40. I've been preparing for that number for the past 6 months and truly I can live with it, but it does seem to be a milestone number for me. I see the number on my face, but I definitely don't feel it in my heart. I still feel somewhere aroung 28. I've set up my mammagram for Monday (first one) and now I feel like I belong to some new club. I'm glad to be getting this and know how many women benenfit from these screenings.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, or in my case, 2 blinks away. Starting to get the menu ready and planning ahead to decrease stress levels later. Working moms always plan ahead (as much as possible). Hope everyone else is planning a wonderful time with family and friends. My kids and I always bake goodies and make up dishes for our neighbors to say we're thankful for them. It's a traditions we've done for the last 5 years and I'm looking forward to doing it again this year. Enjoy the holiday everyone!! It won't be long before we start talking about Christmas!!
