Thanks to all the friends who asked,  "what do you still have....now I will know without cleaning out my whole storage closest - yahoo! 

Day 9....of Things I am THANKFUL FOR...

Today my sister Sara - (the one who's birthday is 11/11 

and again who without her the show would not happen) 

sent me a blog of her dear friends Mary's Daughter,

WILSON LOVE, Shauna Cox Wilson.  

Her little Tenley has leukemia and this blog is a blessing 

to all those who have the chance to read it.  

Shauna is a beautiful writer and as I read it this morning 

I will filled with THANKFULNESS for people like her and her cute husband 

that find strength in their trials...

It made me reflect on how LUCKY I am and how precious this life is. 

At how important time it and the way we spend it.  

So THANK YOU SHAUNA for sharing this journey with me - 

it has readjusted my day and has centered me again.  

Today I am THANKFUL for inspiring people... 

Day 8...of this THANKFUL MONTH...

I should never to promise to write everyday !!!??? I will never do it but....I did spend the weekend in Carmel - Monterey - Pebble Beach, California - it was AWESOME! I don't golf but being there -I THOUGHT I maybe I should???? Or just all "golf lessons" to my bucket list!  

Jeff and I spent the weekend with some friends in this beautiful part of the world.  I need to go on a diet now but of course I am getting ready for the show so that is hard when my diet is candy, pop and NO SLEEP - OH DEAR and then comes Christmas.  

OH well - I will just buy bigger pants :)

Anyway, did go to the Henry Cowell Redwood Forest outside of Santa Cruz (on the recommendation of the famous JULIE M)..which IS one of the things on my "bucket list"  - "see a redwood forest!"  If you can go......GO - it will take your breath away.  

It was everything I thought it would be -  to stand by these old fellows and feel their ancient spirits and the whisper of the wind high above our heads.  

As I sat looking at these GIANTS someone off in the distance was whistling "You Fill Up My Senses" by John Denver!!!  

It was magical....I am THANKFUL for for TREES :)

DAY 2 - of things I am thankful for....

SURPRISE...it is my FAMILY!!!  

What would I be without them?  NOTHING!!  

They are "all my reasons"!!  

I love each of them for what they do for me and what they bring to make our family what it is.  I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE A FAMILY TO BE THANKFUL FOR..one of my favorite saying is.

"Families are like FUDGE, mostly sweet with a FEW NUTS"

"LIKE" us on facebook....and be a WINNER!!

We have been trying to get more "FRIENDS" so we started with a facebook page. Then we did a "give-a-way" if you "LIKED" us.  Yesterday was the day to pick the winner and it was number 160  - Margaret Gooch!!  YAHOO - she won a Nativity!!  If you are a facebooker (if it is a word) go like us here and we will be doing another give-a-way at the end of November - a SANTA!!

Oh, I am ready for November...the THANKS IS IN THE GIVING!!

As we clean up Halloween and put all the boxes and boxes of spooky decorations away and set up my 

ONE TURKEY, 

and ONE PILGRAM 

and ONE INDIAN

  I am reminded of why I love NOVEMBER.  

It is a TIME to THINK of all that I am THANKFUL for.  

LIKE MY SISTA...SARA
