The Food

We had baked ham, chicken & dressing, sweet potatoes, corn, crescent rolls and pies......I ate like a pig, and felt like a pig when I finished my plate........

Tomorrow

This is the eve of "Thanksgiving" this year.  Tomorrow most people will be with family & friends having their get togethers and enjoying a good meal.  There will be those who have only the support of local agencies to get a good meal.  Many who lived through the last disaster here in America are still maintaining while living in makeshift homes.  Their families are suffering as we speak and the weather hasn't helped either.  For those of us who has all the amenities of home, I'm sure it will give more meaning to what we can be thankful for.  To those of you who read my blogs, I wish you the best and safest you can possibly have.

Check?

We are in the midst of a world gone crazy.  Amongst us are people who can't abide by certain standards.  It's now necessary to make certain tests for employment.  The background check services  can help screen a person for certain positions with in a company or governmental service that's very important.  These checks give background on a person's criminal and financial records. 

Church?

Why Go To Church!
If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this! If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!
Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.(or Saturday) 'I've gone for 30 years now,' he wrote, 'and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all'
This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:
'I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!' When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
All right, now that you're done reading, if you're of a mind, send it on! I think everyone should read this! 'When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, 'Jesus, could you get that for me?'

VIVO?

It's sad to admit, but I didn't go to this website to research what asus vivo  electronics consists of.  Do you know what it is or if it's something you might be interested in getting?  I am posting a link in this post to the website for you to visit.  It is my hope that you get or have a great time visiting it and come away with the electronic items you were wanting.

The Last One

We got together for Thanksgiving at my sister's home.......since it turned off cold, she decided that she wanted a fire.......my step-dad and Mom came.  I was glad my sister offered to cook this year, it seems that I've been doing that for many years........glad she took the helm.  None of my kids were able to make it out, because of one thing or the other.
There hasn't been a get together since that year because of events that we had to adjust to.  Now, we make do with what we have and go from there.  Each day is a toss up as we endeavor to make some sense of our lives.

Bathtubs

Times were when you could see the old "clawfoot" bathtub sitting in a home of distinction.  Back then it was a good thing to be able to afford one along with running water.  Today, people draw a piece of the past back when they shop for  vintage bathtubs  to decorate their homes.  The nostalgia it gives is one of remembrance by those who lived during those times.

Twice

In the last 2 months it seems that Mother has had an infection which ran up her white blood count and cause her stomach to swell.  They never found what caused it, but tried to rule out a few things that the nursing home had been doing which could cause it.  In the last 2 years she's been in the hospital several times.  One of those times led to her being put in the nursing home because of her inability to take care of herself properly.  I believe those places are good for taking care of people who can't, but not people who won't.  Just saying.......

Burrs

Precision is what you need when using certain tools.  We all know how bad a burr feels on any item.  It can cause all kinds of problems with wood or metal.  You can find a selection of tools and a quality deburring tool  by clicking on the link in this post.  While there you might shop for other tools to add to your supply.

This Year

The upcoming holiday's are going to be something to endure once again.  For the last 3 years our family has been feeling the sadness of loss with people we know and love passing on.  It's a normal thing to experience in life, but one that no one wants.  This year if things go as planned we will be able to spend another holiday season with the older folks.  This is something that we hold on to, because we know it won't be long until they will be gone as well. Make your holiday's one to remember with plenty of love.

His Future?
