NoThanks – Day Twenty-Two – Memories
Today I’m thankful for memories. Thanksgiving was my favorite holiday when I was growing up. Better to me than even Christmas. Turkey Day usually meant a long weekend in Northern California with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins and people I wasn’t even related to but thought I was. Both sets of grandparents…

I’m having a hard time conceiving of the notion it’s 2011. I know I say this every year, but where the heck did the last twelve months go?? As far as years go, 2010 was a pretty good one for us. Taylor saw the most milestones – turning 18, graduating from high school and going to…

It’s my “Merry Christmas” post a couple of days late. I hope all three each and every one of you experienced the JOY that is Jesus Christ!

Oh, how I love April Fools’ Day. At least when others are the recipient. The old “I’m pregnant” was always my favorite fool. Considering I have no baby-making parts left in my body this joke has probably run it’s course. Still, it makes for an eye-grabbing title, don’t you think? We finally have some beautiful…

I hope you all had a good 2009 and may 2010 be even better! (I know. Very cliche’. But I do mean it.) I’m not one to make resolutions because they always go by the wayside about the second day of January. I could maybe resolve to not do anything different this year and then…

**Praise Break** Little Ian’s test results came back with great news!! His leukemia is NOT bi-phenomyopic. He has ALL Leukemia which is the best scenario. His surgery has been moved up to this morning and treatment will begin right away. Now let’s pray for successful treatment with little to no side effects. And I’ll keep…

Thanksgiving vacation is quickly coming to an end. Five days in a row of sleeping past 8:00 will be a thing of the past until Christmas break. Tomorrow will be the beginning of just another week and life will resume its routine. Our friends, the Stenmans, invited us to share Thanksgiving with them since we…
