The day after US turkey day

Well, yesterday her was Thanksgiving.
Most Americans eat way too much food and then watch Football.
It has been a tradition for as long as I can remember.
I do not watch football, so I sit and catch up with relatives.
We had 35 people at my Mom's yesterday for dinner!

Prayers are said before eating, but most do not take time or reflection for how deeply and genuinely grateful we are to have "stuff".

I have another practice, for the last 18 years, and it is the ladies in my (recovery) sponsorsh… Continue

Halloween in the USA

Today was the day for kids to dress in costume and go door to door for candy!
We have had more than our share of Rain here in Woodstock, GA and saw fewer Trick or Treaters than ever.
There were the die hard teens seeking candy, the neighbor kids with parents and umbrellas, and a few maybe the doorbell rang 10 times.
I believe Halloween was well celebrated by us, last Sat at he dance where all the adults dressed and we raised funds for a Statewide Narcotics Anonymous(sister to Alcoholics Anonymou… Continue

Hubby was in a grand mood today and took me… Continue

Thurs, Oct 29th...Halloween approaches!

I love Halloween! We get to be somebody else for a minute!
It also signals my grandson's birthday...I remember walking the streets with my daughter trying to go into labor that afternoon 6 years ago-this coming Monday, she so wanted to give birth on Halloween. It was, and is still her favorite holiday!
Here he was as the Earth and her as Mother Nature-she made both costumes when he was one!

October 27th...2009

Today was a very busy day. I had a ton of stuff to do and errands to run. It was very rainy, and I am up blogging at almost one AM. I hope to take my Mom to the doctor tomorrow for a pain shot, her arthritic back is causing her to slow down. She is now taking pain shots every month, and needs a driver to get home. She is one and a half hours away from me and I will spend most of the day over at her house. My husband will be off and can take my duties to pick up my grandson from school, take him… Continue

Thank you - I am a huge animal lover and have been a cat person all my life. I have a gray one who adopted us named Smoke. I'll have to post pictures - he's a beauty.

yes, i got an answer. what i thought that link did was take you to a place where you could sign up for recurring payments as a "supporter". i guess the thing to do is just when i get my money at the beginning of the month to buy a donation package right now. i was trying to donate money that could be used as need for anything needed. thanks for your prompt response to my question. Hugs, Dawn

Hi Sharon, the gift I am talking about is the picture of the 2 little teddy bears on my page sent by you. When I wanted to return the favor I understood that once I used my 100 credits I would have to purchase credits from pay pal. Have I misunderstood the concept?

Sharon, Thank you so muchfor putting my story in the photos1 What a thrill to see my story in print, I can hardly wait to receive my book, i watch for the postman everyday. I love the gift. Sorry I can't return ther favor but Pay Pal doesn't accept SA currency so I am unable to buy credit.

The year 2008 saw the start of a dry season. We managed to keep our vegetable garden growing, despite the thieving porcupine eating our butternuts and pumpkin and the pet pigs breaking through the fence to enjoy fresh organic greens. Now we know the…
