Christmas will stay the same

I got feedback from only a couple of you so Dad and I decided we would just leave Christmas the way it has been. We will draw names at Thanksgiving. We think maybe a monetary limit should be imposed...what do you think and how much?

we had a loss today:(

Dad was doing wash this morning and funny noises were coming from the washroom. I came downstairs about the same time and heard the noise also. I stopped the washer and could smell something burning. The washer never came on again. It will be missed.....we have had it since 1991!! The funeral is Friday when it will be taken to that great place where washers go. Just thought you guys would want to know since you were all close to it and were a vital part of it's life.

I LOVED Pres. Monson's talk this morning!!!

If you missed Pres. Monson's talk this morning go read it. It was so awesome and timely. If I only had 25 words to say to each of you it would be something like he said....Live life to its fullest every day and give those you love the most the best of you. Don't pile up tomorrows...all you will have left is a bunch of empty yesterdays......so good. Check it out. Te Amo

November Election by Kelly

I am curious about who everyone is planning to vote for, and your reasons why.  I'm undecided as of right now.  I'm a Republican, but for the first time the Democratic side is swaying my decision. So, fill me in on your opinions!  

Can you believe it is almost October?

I cannot believe that in 2 days it will be October already. Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and Christmas. I love October....it is like the start of the holiday season and true fall weather and colors. Did I tell you all how much I love each one of you...your differences and your likenesses.. No matter how old you get I will still be your mom and will act like your mom.
