As I consider my blessings and what I am thankful for, family immediately comes to mind. My wife of nearly 17 years, our 4 children, 5 grandchildren and 1 1/2 great grandchildren, as well as siblings and their families add up to a multitude of blessings. We just had word that the 1/2 great grandchild up in Alaska is a boy (unless a girl was playing games with the ultra sound!). This ultra sound picture was the first one done at 9 weeks. (8/22/07)Speaking of Alaska, Daryl's mother passed away recently. As I write this, he is in Michigan with his siblings and other family members dealing with the loss of a loving mother. We also lost a friend a few days ago. Bob (BG) Anderson died on Saturday after being in a coma for over a week. A 'brain bled" left him unconscious and the lack of brain activity led to removing him from life support on Friday night. His sense of humor, a multitude of jokes and his special friendship will be sorely missed. Several times a year I made the trip to Denver to play cards with BG and other Greenwood congregation friends. Just another reminder of how precious life is and why we shouldn't take it for granted.
Also from up North, I've added to my 'cool links' Pam & Daryl's Happy Howls Kennel website. If you like dogs and mushing you will really love this site. Good job Daryl!
We had hoped that Jessie & Katie would join us for Thanksgiving but they both have to work. Since they are both off on Tuesday we have decided to go to Laramie and take them to lunch for an early Thanksgiving celebration.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues. ~Cicero
