I have been so slack

I will catch up on my posts soon.

Christmas Cards

When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to:

A Recovering American Soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington , D.C.
20307-5001.

Think of how many cards these wonderful folks who have sacrificed so much would get. Our Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen who can't be home with their families will really love this!!

Thanksgiving

A friend sent this to me and I thought it was to cute not to share. I apologize I have no idea who originaly wrote it.


'Twas the Night of Thanksgiving

With apologies to Clement C. Moore, author of


A Visit From St. Nicholas ('Twas the Night Before Christmas)

'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep.

I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep


The leftovers beckoned --- The dark meat and white,


But I fought the temptation with all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation


The thought of a snack became infatuation.


So I raced to the kitchen, Flung open the door,


And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore.


I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes,


Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.
 I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,


Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground !!

I crashed through the ceiling. Floating into the sky....


With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie,


But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees ...

HAPPY EATING TO ALL !!

PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE !!

More Thanksgiving Fun!

Here are some more Thanksgiving Quotes and Jokes. Just so you know my kids loved the ones from before, hope yours do as well.

*Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence. ~Erma Bombeck

*How many cooks does it take to stuff a turkey?

One but you really have to push hard to get her in there.

It has been an unchallengeable American doctrine that cranberry sauce, a pink goo with overtones of sugared tomatoes, is a delectable necessity of the Thanksgiving board and that turkey is uneatable without it. ~Alistair Cooke

Ah! on Thanksgiving day....



When the care-wearied man seeks his mother once more,


And the worn matron smiles where the girl smiled before.


What moistens the lips and what brightens the eye?


What calls back the past, like the rich pumpkin pie?


~John Greenleaf Whittier

Happy Birthday Dad

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!

Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving!  Is there a better holiday out there? I mean family, food, fun, and football.  Ok, I could take or leave the football part, but I do love the rest of it.  Think about it no gifts to buy, wonderful food to eat, sitting around catching up with all your relatives and friends, and it is ok if you just sit around after watching tv.  I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving, I know I will.

These are some things I found to get us into the spirit.  I will try to post more all the way up to the big day -enjoy!

Thanksgiving Day is a jewel, to set in the hearts of honest men; but be careful that you do not take the day, and leave out the gratitude. ~E.P. Powell

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy

Freedom Cookies

http://www.freedomcookies.org/   Today I ran across a lady in one of my groups that has a wonderful organization to send love and cookies to soldiers that otherwise wouldn’t get either. If you can in some way help her out with her cause please do. Even if you can’t help out money wise go by the site and pass it on to your friends.
