HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I wish I could be in Oprah's audience when she gives away her "favorite things". ~sigh~

Going to Cameron this year for Thanksgiving will be a new adventure for all of us. (Except Jen & Bob will be at Bob's folks b/c they usually swap Holidays with them & us each year.) I am hoping they get to come to the Long's Thanksgiving on Saturday b/c I would like to get a family photo taken again.

I am very thankful that Amanda & Derek are hosting this year. A big thank you to them.

I am so very thankful that Mom is still with us. She is so pretty and her health is pretty good. She laughs a lot when she has forgotten things. She loves to go on outings with us...even if it is just to a Dr. Appt. or out to get ice cream. Ruth and Bob's 4th of July was a fun time so Thanksgiving will be fun also. See you there!

I am thankful for all 5 of our kids and our 5 grandkids. I love them all so much. My kids & their spouses are great parents and my little munchkins are very cute and funny. I know...what can I say...I'm predjudiced.

I am thankful for my in-laws and how great they all are. I can truly say I love them. It was painful to lose Dad Long earlier this month. I can also say that I love and get along with Jen & Jeff's in-laws and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving also.

Please say a prayer for our good friends Joanne & Bob Owen for continued strength and ability to cope with their illnesses and for our niece Michelle and her family.
