Found a old photo of several of my siblings

From left to right...Bill, Tom (my twin) me and my half sister, Ginger.
after Bill we had a sister named Robin who was blind deaf and totally retarted due to mom having the German Measles when she was 3 mos pregnant. Robin lived to be 48 having been cared for in an institution...back in those days there weren't many options. Then came Mary whom many of you know from her blog http://asplendidadventure.blogspot.com and from many NING Networks too. Just wanted you to see how cute we were back the...a very long time ago..hehehe!!!

What I'm so thankful for

Today being Thanksgiving I wanted to come and share what I'm thankful for this year. It's amazing how most of what I'm thankful for doesn't change...I'm thankful for my Abba Father who came down as his son to die on that cross in Calvary for all our sins...what a terrible death that was....just think how much our God loves us to do that...just think!!!! I'm thankful for the family I have, my wonderful husband, and children we raised, and of course all our grandchildren. I'm so thankful that even tho we struggle to make ends meet like so many of our neighbors we are never without food to eat, heat to keep us warm, and a nice home....I'm thankful for my mom being here for Thanksgiving. The turkey was put in the oven around 7am so dinner will be 2 or 3...yes it's a big bird for just 3 of us, but my daughters will be here with one's kids so we will have plenty food leftover for days.
May I extend a very warm greeting to each of you who celebrate Thanksgiving, and my wish that you share your blessings with others around you...(((gentle hugs to all my online friends)))
