THANKSGIVING 2009

TERESA CAME OVER TO HELP ME GET THE TURKEY READY BEFORE SHE WENT TO WORK.

MUFFIN HAD HER PARTY DRESS ON FOR THANKSGIVING. SHADOW AND MUFFIN ARE SO FUNNY TOGETHER. I FINALLY GOT A PICTURE OF THEM BOTH LOOKING AT MY CAMERA.

DON HELPED ME GET THE TURKEY INTO THE OVEN. 
 
 

TAMI AND JEFF CAME OVER ABOUT 2:30 P.M. AND WE ALL HELPED GET THE REST OF THE FOOD TOGETHER.

JEFF ALWAYS DOES A GREAT JOB CUTTING THE TURKEY. TAMI MAKES THE DRESSING WHILE I FINISH UP THE LAST MINUTE DISHES. THE DINNER WAS READY BY 3:30 AND THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT. IT WAS A DELICIOUS TYPICAL THANKSGIVING MEAL! 
 
 
 

TERESA HAD HER THANKSGIVING DINNER AFTER SHE GOT OFF WORK.

JEFF HELPED ME GET MY COPIER SET UP DURING THIS TIME. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO COPY, PRINT AND SCAN AGAIN.

WE ALSO GOT A SKYPE PHONE CALL FROM OUR FAMILIES IN THE EAST COAST. IT WAS SO FUN TO SEE AND TALK TO ALL OF THEM. IT WAS A WONDERFUL WAY TO END OUR THANKSGIVING DAY! 
 

HOW COULD I FORGET TO BLOG ONE OF OUR MOST ENJOYABLE BLESSING?

WHEN I WAS AT THE POOL EXERCISING TODAY, I REALIZED I DIDN'T MENTION ANOTHER GRATEFUL BLESSING DON AND I HAVE IN OUR LIVES. IT'S OUR FAITHFUL FRIEND AND COMPANION SHADOW. WHAT FUN SHE IS FOR DON AND I. WE TRULY ARE GRATEFUL SHE CAME INTO OUR LIVES ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO.

 
 
 
 

THANKSGIVING....2009

I WANTED TO STOP FOR A MINUTE AND THINK OF MY BLESSINGS. I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS WITH ALL OF YOU.

HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING TOMORROW!!

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GOSPEL IS SUCH A BLESSING IN MY LIFE.

THIS KNOWLEDGE KEEPS ME ON THE RIGHT TRACK AND HAS BROUGHT ME SUCH BLESSINGS. HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR THIS. 
 

I WAS BLESSED TO BE BORN IN A FAMILY THAT HAD LOTS OF LOVE IN OUR HOME.

HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR GOODLY PARENTS THAT TAUGHT ME RIGHT FROM WRONG. I HAD A HAPPY HOME AND KNEW THAT I WAS LOVED. I'M GRATEFUL WE ARE AN ETERNAL FAMILY AND THAT I WILL BE WITH MY PARENTS AND FAMILY AGAIN SOME DAY. 

ONE OF MY GREATEST BLESSINGS IS HAVING DON IN MY LIFE. WE HAVE AN ETERNAL MARRIAGE AND WHAT A BLESSING THIS IS!

DON AND I WILL BE CELEBRATING OUR 44TH ANNIVERSARY IN JANUARY. WE HAVE A GREAT LIFE TOGETHER AND FEEL SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS. 

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR FAMILY. WE HAVE 4 DAUGHTERS THAT HAVE GIVEN US SUCH JOY, AND 4 SONS THROUGH MARRIAGE. OUR SON-IN-LAWS ARE WONDERFUL!!

BEING A GRANDMOTHER IS SO SPECIAL AND I LOVE HAVING THE 6 WONDERFUL GRANDCHILDREN IN OUR LIVES. 
 
 
 

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR HERITAGE AND THE LOVE AND DEDICATION TO THE GOSPEL THAT OUR ANCESTORS HAD.

I LOVE TO READ ABOUT THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE US. IT MAKES ME WANT TO BE A BETTER PERSON. 
 

I NEVER TAKE OUR FREEDOMS FOR GRANTED AND APPRECIATE ALL THOSE THAT HAVE HELPED KEEP OUR COUNTRY FREE!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WORLD GOD CREATED FOR US.

I'M SO GRATEFUL TO LIVE IN GRAND JUNCTION AND ENJOY THE 4 DIFFERENT SEASONS EVERY YEAR. IT'S A WONDERFUL AREA OF THE WORLD. 

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR OUR COMFORTABLE HOME THAT WE LIVE IN. IT KEEPS US WARM IN THE WINTER AND COOL IN THE SUMMER.

HAVING IT PAID OFF IS SUCH A BLESSING IN OUR LIVES TOO. 

THIS PICTURE REPRESENTS MY HEALTH. SO GRATEFUL THAT I FOUND A WAY TO KEEP MY MUSCLES ACTIVE.

I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE POOL FOR 3 YEARS NOW AND EXERCISING EVERY WEEK DAY. I'M ALSO GRATEFUL FOR THE FOOD, CLOTHING AND NECESSITIES OF LIFE THAT WE ENJOY. 

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE TALENTS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN!

CRAFTS, SCRAPBOOKING, JOURNALING, BEING CREATIVE, ORGANIZING, HISTORIAN, ETC. ALL GIVE ME SUCH PLEASURE IN MY LIFE. I'M NEVER BORED BECAUSE OF THESE TALENTS THE LORD HAS GIVEN ME.

YES, I HAVE MUCH TO BE GRATEFUL FOR!!
