I have two winners for a free pass to UStamp with Dawn and Friends; Tammy, from Albuquerque, New Mexico and The Ahlquist Family, from Arizona. Please e-mail me at sumatragal@gmail.com for information regarding your passes. Congratulations, girls! You're going to love this round of projects. Magnificent, if I do say so!
Thanksgiving was a marvelous day. Everything turned out wonderful. The food was delish, the company couldn't have been better, and the weather was perfect! The one down side was that my mother and dad couldn't come over to the house for dinner. Mom is very much house-bound and pretty much bed-ridden these last few days. We volunteered to carry her over but she asked if we'd just bring her over her food, which we did. I doubt if we'll have her here, on this earth, for too much longer. She's lived a great life and I'm enjoying my time with her while I still have her. So my challenge to you today is, to either go visit or call one of your loved ones, and tell them how much you love them. You never know when you may not have them in your life.
Here's a few pics from the event. Not as many family this year ... only 15, with my Mom and Dad and then I took in some dinner to one of the shut-ins in our neighborhood.
Have a grave side funeral to sing at this morning so I'd best be getting ready for the day. I've been up since 4:00 a.m. Had to run Lynn to the airport. He's in Pittsburgh for work.
Ohhh ... I made the BEST homemade pizza for dinner last night. My sis's recipe. It was marvelous. I couldn't eat the crust, because of my diet, but the topping and sauce was divine. I'll post the recipe tomorrow for you to try. I'll definitely include this recipe in the cook book!
Have a happy Monday!
Loves and Hugs -- Linda Lou

..
and a huge thank you to YOU, Linda.
Cute kids. They're growing up without me! I could pack Lindsey's kids up and take them home.
Poor Grandma. I'm missing her. I hope she's strong to the end. I'm sure she will be, because she has been so far.
OH your family pics look wonderful Linda, so many great smiles!
Just a little side note; I want to let you know that the blessings you will carry for the rest of your life for the caring of your parents will make your cup runneth over. Even after 16 years I still have the grace of the blessing of taking care of my mom in her last days. It is great comfort on the days when I still miss her. Have a great week!~Donna
