Such sadness.

I volunteer in a first grade class one day a week.  As I parked my car and waited to cross the street I watched parents walked their kids to class, holding hands and many kissed them goodbye.  The class I help in were having their Christmas program today in the cafeteria.  I had not yet heard of the terrible events that were unfolding in Connecticut until I got home and my son told me.  A sick feeling swept over me and immediately thought about those parents who that very morning walked their kids to school holding their hands and kissing them goodbye, not knowing that would be their last time.  I am not a real political person, but I somehow don't think the right bear arms means that someone can aim a semi automatic weapon at children.  I also know that situations like this are "heart" issues and usually carried out by disturbed, unstable people, but the end result is no less tragic.  We must certainly pray for the parents of those children as they grieve the loss of their precious babies.

I LOVE this.

 

Found this cutie while searching Pinterest.  I collected all the stuff needed and this will be my next project, well, right after I finish Christmas shopping, wrapping gifts, holiday baking for a cookie exchange, planning my Christmas lunch menu.   . 

I am still trying to figure this blog thing out.  Don't give up on me.  Thank you all for the advice. Stay tuned...

What to do.

Apparently I have used up my quota of photos in my current blog space.  Picasa notified my of this.  My dilema is should I pay a montly fee of $2.95 to be able to post photos?  Is is possible to close this one down and open a new blog?  Should I quit blogging all together?  Any advice?  I really have adorable grandchildren and thousands of photos that really need posting.  Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I did.

My thoughts on Thanksgiving.

This thanksgiving I am thankful:
   That God chose me before the foundation of the world.
   That seals me as a child of God.
   I can walk in a relationship with Him.
   I am firmly rooted, nourished in the truth.
   Built up in Him.
   Established in my faith.
   So that NO ONE can take me captive.
   His unconditional love.

I am thankful for...

My sister had an early thanksgiving dinner with some of my family. Each one was giving a paper feather to write what they were thankful for and add it to the turkey.

 

 

  This turkey shares all the many reasons that our family is thankful.
We should all count our many blessings.

Trick or Treat, You are sweet.

Halloween Fun.

This bat is not one bit scarry.
Nor is he one bit hairy.
 

Knock, knock......
Trick or treat...."Hi Gramma"

Off he goes, this cute bat.
I hope he doesn't find a rat.
