Happy Thanksgiving!!

I have so much to be thankful for.  I'll just list a few of them.

• My sweet husband
• The fact he made it home at 8:30 this morning and will be at Thanksgiving dinner :)
• My boys
• Doug and Jordan both have good jobs
• My mom's tumor is shrinking
• Family
• Friends
• Jesus
• So very much more that I can't even list it all

I hope everybody has a fabulous Thanksgiving Day!!

Thankful Thursday

A week until Thanksgiving! Unbelieveable!! 

Right now I am so incredibly thankful for a good report my mom received.  She had a scan done this past Monday.  And after her 1st round of chemo, her tumor is shrinking!!  PTL!

She's now completed round 2 of chemo and is going for 2x a day radiation treatments for the next 3 weeks.  I'm looking forward to even more good reports :)

What are you thankful for this week?

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for the opportunity to spend time with my mom and gramma.  We went to our favorite yarn store, Knitting on the Square.  We sit, knit, talk, eat, talk, shop.  It is a fabulous day! 

Here we are several weeks ago.  Mom, me and my gramma.  Three generations of knitters. 

Speaking of my mom, here's an update on her. She completed her first round of chemo and has now lost her hair.  She looked absolutely adorable today in her pink hat that one of the gals from knitting made for her.

Monday she starts her 2nd round of chemo.  She will have chemo for 3 days in a row again.  She also starts radiation on Monday.  She will go 2x a day for 3 1/2 weeks along with chemo.  I am so glad they are aggressively treating this cancer, but feel so badly that Mom is going to feel yuck.  She's tired and in much pain right now. She said she now knows how I feel.  I'm glad she won't always have to feel like this.

So I am incredibly thankful for the afternoon with Mom.  How about you?  What are you thankful for today?

Three Weeks until Thanksgiving!!!

Can you believe it?  I absolutely have no clue where this year went to.  My oldest is going to be 19 this month! Where did those years go?

How do you celebrate Thanksgiving? 

We've not yet decided what we are going to do.  Cook and invite people?  Stay home alone?  Go to my dad's house?  We better decide quickly, eh?

In honor of the Thanksgiving turkey prep, here's one of my favorite turkey commercials :)  Well darn, I can't figure out how to embed the video in the blog post.  Didn't there used to be an icon for that?

Anywhere, HERE it is (link to youtube).
