Thankful Hearts

Here we are at Thanksgiving Eve. I can't help but count my many blessings tonight. We are so blessed as a family and as a nation. Many times we forget and take for granted the roof over our heads, the clothes on our backs, and the food in our pantry. May be never grow unthankful as a nation and always count our blessings one by one. If you look at the hurricane victims in Florida and Texas and see within twelve hours everything they owned was crumbled this past summer. That could've possibly been us. They woke up that morning and never dreamed of their possessions being taken away right before their eyes. If you live in the mountains like I do, we always think we've got protection from the storms, but sometimes we don't. There's been tornado's that have went through some mountain communities in the past.

This Thanksgiving lets gather around the table with our families and really be thankful for each other. Love not hate; we'd be a better nation if we took those three words to heart.

In closing, this year while we're gathered around the table with our plates full of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a big slice of pumpkin pie, let's remember the ones that's spending this holiday along and hungry.

Have Thanksgiving everyone!

Remembering Barbara Bush

Some of you may have already heard but Barbara Bush passed away a few short days ago at the age of 92. She was the wife of our 41st president, George H. W. Bush. She was one of only two women in history who can be called first lady or first mother. Her and former president, George H. W. Bush had been married for 73 years. That’s amazing compared to most marriages today. Barbara Bush’s eight years as Second Lady made her a household name. After her son Neil was diagnosed with dyslexia, she took an interest in literacy issues and began working with several different literacy organizations. She spent much time researching and learning about the factors that contributed to illiteracy—she believed homelessness was also connected to illiteracy —and the efforts underway to combat both.  She traveled around the country and the world, either with the vice president on official trips or by herself. In 1984, she wrote a children’s book,  C. Fred’s Story , which recounted the adventures of

Oh, how I love snow days!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful but we really have no place to go. So let it snow let is snow let it snow!  Do you remember as a child hoping you'd have a snow day so you could stay home from school? Us as adults wishing for snow days too so we can stay home from work. Isn't it nice to curl up by the ol' fireplace and watching the snow fly? This is definitely soup and chili weather, not to mention good reading weather. If you're like me, I always keep a stack of books on hand for weather like this.  I live in Virginia and this is a picture of how our roads look today. Ugh, don't they look horrible? My driveway is covered and our county officials are encouraging people to stay indoors and don't go out unless you have too. Luckily, I'm off today and don't have to go anywhere til the end of the week. A good cup of hot cocoa is on my agenda for this evening along with a big bowl of soup. Yum! Yum!  What
