Well, over again for another year. I loved being with my sweetie, my kids - Jenn, Jackie, Robb & David. Just wished Addie could have been here. (there Jenn & Jackie I said all of the names).
Waiting to each mac & cheese. What an awesome end to Thanksgiving. Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, but at least I can say I like my job.
Next holiday - Remembrance Day. Not the same kind but certainly another one to be thankful for.
Hope your weekend was filling & happee.
my eternal sweetheart & me

I am being held hostage by the above mentioned daughter. She is forcing me to type this note. She is making me say that she is my "favorite" one and yes, she put those quotation marks in.
For anyone of my other children, who care that I am being forced against my will, please PLEASE leave a comment for your sister.
MUCH LOVE, (you know it is not me because I always say luv)

THANKSGIVING & MY DAD'S
Happee Thanksgiving to all my family & friends:
What an awesome place to be. I am here with my dad on Thanksgiving Day. We are watching diving on t.v. and in front of my eyes is a window looking out on the most awesome tree, full of colour. We overslept for church so Mike took his camera and went for a walk to take pictures.
I had a great day here yesterday with my dad and my sister. My dad is really quiet. It makes me very sad because I love him so very much and I want him to have a smile on his handsome face. It has been so long since my mom left to go to heaven but each day my heart is heavy even though I know where she is. My dad wants to be with her. I want to make a difference while I am here with him. I want him to know how very much I love him. I want to say and do something that will mae him smile and be happee.
Heather, my sis & I --- well I, with Top watching, prepared my stuffing for the turkey. We laughed. I think I am preparing my mom's recipe and she thinks she knows how. I am doing it because I have my chillin coming to visit today and stuffing is their favorite part of the meal. I put less potatoes and more bread, hence bread stuffing...Top puts more potatoes and less bread, hence potatoes & a little bread. Her gorgeous face contorted in the most amazing way as I added more and more bread. To put another element in the mix was my dear brother-in-law, Bob & Brian. They were getting ready to go out and they had their 2 cents worth to say about the stuffing. I hope it turns out "great" with my big build up. Heather is such a wonderful cookand I have just let her prepare for us when we come up because I have always felt like anything that I do, especially cooking, will not be up to her standards. When preparing the stuffing I felt a happiness that came from the times that I have made this for my family and the eagerness they showed in wanting to sample and then eat this. This memory warms my heart.
Top and I then watched a really cute movie until midnight and then went to bed.
I am soooooooooooo excited to have my family around me here today. It would be perfect if only my little Addie & Jay were here. I so hope they come next year. If only my dream of being here with dad and all of my sisters and their families would come true. I would love to spend a day (or many more) with Phyl, Wen & Top and our dad. Perhaps one day very soon.
I just want to leave with sharing my gratitude for all my Heavenly Father has seen fit to give to me. How blessed I am.
Have a wonderful HAPPEE Thanksgiving Day. Share your gratitude with every one you know. Take time to remember all that makes you happee.

HAPPEE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND
My most favorite time of the year. Yippee - off to dad's we go. Turkey, stuffing, whipped potatoes, turnip, corn & carrots and of course gravy.
Sitting around laughing & talking. Sharing memories and things we are grateful for. That's my idea of a great weekend.
Hope all of you have a great one.
For my dear American family & friends, your Thanksgiving is coming very soon.
Talk later.

OCTOBER 4, 2010
How time flys. I have said that more that once in the past few months. October is one of my favorite months. It is the month the leaves change from their fading green to yellow, orange & red. My mom's favorite colors. They always make me think of her.
With this month comes Thanksgiving. I think that is my favorite holiday of the year. Yes, including Christmas. Thanksgiving is the month that reminds me to slow down and see exactly what I am thankful for. There are so many things.
I am so thankful for my eternal companion. I love how he sings to me every morning between 5 & 6 am. He can lighten a room and my heart still beats fast when I see him walking towards me. He is my life. Without him I would only be a 1/2...he brings out the best in me. Even though I can be an old witch, he puts up with me. Through thick and thin. This man loves me and tells me each and every day. I am so thankful that my Heavenly Father allowed him in my life.
I am so thankful for my 5 wonderful children. Thinking back on times past helps me to feel complete. Not that I was a great mom, but even after all of the years since I had my first baby, my grown babies still talk with me and hopefully enjoy my company. I love each of them so very much. Jenn, Jackie, Robb, Addie & Dave, I am so very proud of each of you. You have all made decisions in your life that had consequences and you have turned negative things into positive. Or, you have made positive into great.
I am so thankful for the choices my children have made in their companions. I love each of them and they add so much to our family. I hope they will always feel like they are part and that they can come to me for anything. I also hope they know how grateful I am that they are always willing to help when needed. Marc, Brent, Aliss & Jay - you are all a very important part of my family.
I am sooooooooo grateful for my 2 grandbabies, Dustin,Sariah and for little Joseph on the way. They make my heart happee. I can barely write the words to describe my feelings for them. I have not spent as much time with Dustin as I would have liked. I know he has stayed with Mamere & Papere lots and I can only hope he will always know how much I love him. He has the truest, bluest eyes. He has the sweetest smile. His hugs are the greatest. I hope he never stops loving his Nanny Mac. I am grateful they have not been posted from here. Sariah - words fail me here as well. Her giggle pulls you into her world. She is sooo cute. She learns fast and how she loves to sing. I am grateful that Robb & Aliss are living here so I can build a bond with her. I want her to know and love her Nanny Mac. Little Joseph - you are loved already. I have seen pictures of you in you mom's belly and I love you. We are excited for you to arrive.
I am so thankful for my little "adopted" American daughter. Janet was given to our family by a loving Father in Heaven. When she needed us we were there. We were able to remind her of her divine nature and reinforce her choice to go & stay on her mission here to Atlantic Canada. Through her we became a part of her family in Salt Lake City. We love them. Thanks - Nessen family for helping us to feel part of your lives. I am thankful she found her eternal companion in Ray. I am thankful for him accepting me as an "adopted" Mom. I am grateful for knowing little Blaze, if only through notes & pictures. He is very special. I am excited that little Blaze is having a brother - Grayson Blaze. I can hardly wait to see him. I love little Dexter - their puppy. I have only seen pictures but they say a million words.
I love my dad & my mom. I am proud of them and what they sacrificed for me and my sisters. How I wish I could give back. Perhaps some day they will know exactly how I feel.
I could go on forever with the things I am grateful for. But this is it for now. Perhaps I will write more throughout this wonderful month of thanksgiving. I challenge all who read this to do the same.
Have a happee day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
