Look who loves Shannon......

Shannon's attempt at a thanksgiving nap is futile

Who is that napping behind my hat? Let's see if I can get a few shots without waking her.

Sound asleep....until the flash disturbs her. What the heck.....time is short. Can't waste our time together sleeping!

Okay grandma! I'm awake now....give me a minute and I'll have time for you!

so hard to say goodbye -

yet what wonderful memories we have of Thanksgiving 2009. It was the best. It was such a short visit and the time just flew by, but what a time of joy it was. In less than 48 hours: The girls had their long waited for massage. Wednesday night was dinner at Char's. James put heart and soul into cooking Thanksgiving dinner and it was beyond good. The eating just went on and on. The game was watched. Friends visited. And Shannon even got in a nap! Today they are off to Cloverdale for a day with the boys......tomorrow they will head home. Fast trip! Well worth it! I call it priceless!

Who made the turkey?! James!

Thanks be to God....His blessings overflow!

Giving Thanks With A Grateful Heart......

What more could we ask for? We have it all! Family! The day before Thanksgiving the kids arrived from Ogden, Utah. Wednesday night we had enchildas with Char and Brett. The Dutchman arrived home safe and sound after an accidental encounter with a Ford Explorer outside Sacramento. Thank you Lord for safety in his big truck! (A little sore today, but he is safe! Thankful for ibuprofrin too!) Thanksgiving morning Shannon plays with the dogs. I am overjoyed with love for these kids of mine who are here for only two days! James is cooking our Thanksgiving meal. Our hearts are overflowing and glowing with gratitude. God is so good! More to come as our day is just beginning and the meal and more family arrives later in the day!

Thank You For Your Service

It's Tuesday!
