the thanksgiving season!






Well, what a time we had in November. First the cruise, and then the blessing of being able to be with our children and their families. It was so much fun just being together. The Grandchildren were so fun to see doing their songs, playing the piano, standing on their heads and playing a round of UNO.
We went to the ASU USC game, it was fun to see the crowd, however the seating left something to be desired. They *ASA* need to take off at least 2 seats on each row to make room for everyone. Scott wound up sitting on the step instead of the bleacher.
We have much to be thankful for. We enjoyed going to Lynn's shower. She got a lot of nice things.

Don't they look good together

We stopped to see Lynn and Jake last weekend on our way to our Cruise. It was fun to visit them.


Then it was on to Mexico: best told by Photos What a good time we had
I will tell you the para-sailing is a kick!!!!!!!! I would do it again in an instant. LeGrand and I got lost and taking a bus ride to the mountains. It was too funny!! We don't speak spanish very well and we were certainly the only gringo's in the area. We went to the end of the bus line and had to catch one that was going back and just starting his run.

November is finally here

I love this time of year. The colors and the feelings: gratitude, peace and love. I find a lot of satisfaction in the season, being with family and friends. We have a neighbor that just found out she has a cancerous mass on her kidney and growths on her lungs and other vitals. She is trying to remain positive and upbeat. Her sadness comes from thinking she won't get to see her grandkids grow up. I can empathize with those feelings. She is always such a positive person. I would hope I could be so positive, especially with the knowledge I have .
I have been reading several other blogs and the theme seems to be gratitude. Guess we each need a reminder on a yearly basis... so November thank you
