We had such a fun but short visit with all the kids including Emily this weekend. They just left....IN THE SNOW!!!! Yesterday we had all the windows and doors open and it was really warm.

Since they are from down South in Austin they arrived in shorts and flip flops...and they left in shorts and flip flops...LOL...got some great pics of the 2 kids cavorting in the snow sans shoes!

Em was bundled up...smart woman there!

We had a terrific holiday and my favorite part was when 14 yr old Jordan said we should go around the table and say what we were thankful for...his went like this..."I am thankful for my family.....and....WOMEN"..... ;D

They will be back (500 miles) in just 3 weeks to drop off Em and spend the night on their way to Colorado!

Hope you all had as nice a holiday as we did.

Sounds like a fun time was had..... frosty feet and all!

Makes me very grateful for our weather here in Buffalo hearing that y'all down in Texas had snow before we did!!! Calling for a snowy commute tomorrow morning though.... still can't complain considering it will be December 1st!

My Thanksgiving was a mixed blessing this year. I'm grateful for my children and grandchildren, but suffered some major losses this year. On January 1st the biological mother of my brother's five kids died of cancer. She had been very good to me when I was a kid, and I felt very badly for her. On April 6th my only sibling, an older brother died of cancer. He was 12 years older and very close to me. Finally, on November 12th my brother's wife died...also of cancer.

I've been saying, "Thank you God for all the good in my life, and please don't take any more of my loved ones right now."
