Thanksgiving wishes

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

The Crosswalk

Awesome!! We complain about the cross we bear but don't realize

it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot.


Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine, after the rain....
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall;
But God's always ready, to answer your call....
He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
a word from His lips, can calm every fear...
Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish, by dawn's early light...
The Savior is waiting, somewhere above,
to give you His grace, and send you His love.
May God fill your day with blessings!!


Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!





Have a Great Day

SNOW SNOW SNOW

Wow, what a week-end. I can't believe we have SNOW!!! We moved to Show Low in Aug. And the girls have been so excited for it to snow. (They have never lived in Snow). Last night we were just finishing up with Kateland Birthday cake and looked out side and thought it was raining. I took a closer look and saw it was snowing. The girls were so excited. I think they were playing in it for about an hour. Kateland thought it was the coolest thing to have it snow on her birthday. No one could have bought her a better present. They got up this morning and got ready for school faster then ever so they could play in it before school.

The dog had mixed feelings for the snow rascal who is three has never seen snow. He wanted nothing to do with it. Rockett who will be 1 in Feb. loved it she couldn't get enough of it. she has played in it as much as the girls.

Marty Finally got to go fishing this weekend. He went to Sunrise lake with a couple of other guys and actually did pretty good. He caught his limit and his friends limit on trout. It was very clod when he got there. I think he said it was 18 degrees. There was ice on the edge of the lake. Now he can't wait to go Ice fishing.

And finally, it was Kateland 11th birthday. I can't believe she is 11. Time sure does fly by. She was going through my recipe books and found a Cake she wanted. It was called dessert for an angel. It is angel food cake cut into 3 sections with cool-whip, lime, and sweetened condensed milk mixed up for the filling and frosting then coconut sprinkled on top of it all. It was very tasty.

Halloween

Here are a few pictures of our girls getting ready for trick or trunk in town. WE live so far out. and in the woods so no one comes out trick or treating. The city of Show Low put on a trick or trunk for the kids. It was pretty good. they even had a little haunted house the girls loved it.

This is a view from my bedroom windows. I wake up to this every morning between 5:30-6:00. What a way to be woke up. Definitely a great way to start the day.
