Give Thanks...Happy Thanksgiving!

Going to a card store or the greeting card aisle can be an all day affair for me. I get so caught up in the wording that the writers from Hallmark, American Greeting, and other card companies write, that it's hard for me to choose a card. My goal is to find a birthday card, a get well card, a thank you card, or some other special occasion card that really says something special or meaningful to the person I am sending it to. One would think this should be an easy task, but it's not!! Not only does the wording have to be right, the picture, drawing or whatever is on the front/inside has to be perfect as well. Sometimes this task gets so overwhelming that after hours of looking, I leave the store with nothing. So if I missed sending you a greeting card, it could be because I couldn't find that perfect one for you!!!

On Monday, our family received a card in the mail. It wasn't a card made by one of the well known card companies, nor was it a mass produced card. It was a card handmade for my family by my niece McKenzie, with some help from my sister-in-law, Linda. It's a card that had I seen in the store I would have definitely purchased. The artwork on the front of the card was pretty and colorful and the wording meaningful and it spoke to me-it simply stated.... GIVE THANKS!

Take a look at our beautiful Thanksgiving Day card...and remember to GIVE THANKS this holiday season!








Thanks McKenzie and Lin!

Get-Together!!!

We laughed, we talked, we shared stories, we ate(of course), we did all the things ladies do when we get together. Its been several years since we have gotten together as a group, so we had lots of catching up to do. But how could that be...I see most of these ladies every week. No, this wasn't a get-together with my girlfriends. This wasn't a family reunion or a class reunion. This was fellowship with ladies from church! Ladies that some I have known for the 8 years I have lived in Indianapolis and some just a few years. But, you wouldn't be able to tell.

I am truly blessed to have these ladies that are so supportive and loving and that has welcomed me and my family into their lives, in my life.

Of course, I had to bring out my camera. So, before we parted, everyone had a mini photo shoot!!!

Sis Barbara...thanks for being such a gracious hostess!
