A Thanksgiving Prayer

Heavenly Father, kind and good,
Thanks we offer for this food;
For Thy love and tender care,
For all the blessings that we share.
Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving

On a Cheerier Note...

I made a happier scrap book page of all the dogs.
They all have a special place in my heart.

Speck

It was one year ago today that we lost our Specky.
I miss him so much.
I made a little tribute to him.

Last Week Highlights

Not a lot of news last week. On Sunday, Jeff and I officially became members of The Love of Christ Lutheran Church. Monday, I went to the movies and saw Ghost Town with Peggy and Carol for Peggy's birthday. I picked Ethan up from school on Friday afternoon, he stayed until about 1PM on Saturday. We had a lot of fun. Other than that it was business as usual. I am working on getting my house clean for Thanksgiving and the Holidays.

A chuckle for Today

I found this video on the web today and it just made me laugh.
Target shopping carts on the loose. Enjoy.
Also, Tiny Tim is singing in the background, how fitting!

After the Elections...

Today's news:

Obama already has to make an apology to Nancy Regan.

And now Sarah Palin has to defend herself, can't anyone say anything nice anymore?

New President...

A Prayer for Our Nation

God of ages,
in your sight nations rise and fall,
and pass through times of peril.
Now when our land is troubled,
be near to judge and save.
May leaders be led by your wisdom;
may they search your will and see it clearly.
If we have turned from your way,
help us to reverse our ways and repent.
Give us your light and your truth to guide us;
through Jesus Christ,
who is Lord of this world, and our Savior. Amen.

Vote!

Went out and voted this morning, luckily, we had our early ballots already filled in so we were able to just drop them in the box and avoid the long line.
Be sure to go vote, this is an important election!

Welcome to November!

Wow! I can’t believe October is over already.
Looking back it was a very busy month,
we had Peter’s 20th birthday, Jeff and my 5th anniversary, Jeff’s birthday, Jason & Lisha’s Wedding, Church Membership classes, and Halloween. It was a great month!
Looking forward to a pleasant and busy November.
Highlights to look forward to are Election Day, Jeff & I becoming members of Love of Christ Lutheran Church, Stephen’s Birthday and Thanksgiving.

Halloween Fun

Ethan came over dressed in his "Blue Power Ranger" costume,
I had on my "Princess" costume, we went to my church for "Trunk or Treat"
and then around the neighborhood. Ethan spent the night and we watched "Scary" shows on Nickelodeon until 11PM, while we snacked on candy!
