I DIDN'T FALL OFF THE ROOF....AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I promise you, I came down off the roof safely. The past week or two has been very busy. I have all my Christmas decorations completed and have been cleaning like a mad woman. Lisa and her family will be here tomorrow for thanksgiving and I have been cooking for two days. Such a happy time and I am enjoying it tremendously

I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy the love and thankfulness in your hearts.

Anonymous said...: Like you, Clar, I have been so busy and cooked for a week before Thanksgiving. I hope yours was wonderful as was mine. All my children and grandchild was here. Today, I spent in my pj's most of the day and I never do that. I think I was running on overload!; 6:47 PM

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
