Every Day SHOULD be a Day of Thanks! We are so blessed! We have family and friends We have good health We have a place to rest our heads We have food to grace our tables We live in a great country The list is endless and yet, We tend to forget and take for granted all the little things that we have been blessed with. Last Thursday I was blessed to be able to hand out Thanksgiving food baskets to a number of needy families.  They were so appreciative for just one meal of food and a prayer.  This Thursday, I'm joining our family in spending a day with 100 sailors who will be finishing their basic training and couldn't go home for the holiday. I pray that you and your families will be blessed on this Thanksgiving (and every day) and that you will be able to share this blessing with others.

I got worse and kept Dad up most of the night.  He took me to the vet and I had a digestive tract infection.  The vet put me on some pills, special diet food and lots of loving.  Dad took care of it all, but I really missed Mom.  I didn't sleep very good, was anxious most of the time and somewhat hyper,  Oh...
