Some Day We'll Meet Again

December 9, 1966

Was my Wedding Day

I married this wonderful man

The Love of My Life

We were married on a cold December 9th

and we had 25 wonderful years together

My husband died 19 years ago

But his memory has never faded and I continue

to cherish him and love him

He is the father of my children

What a tremendous blessing he gave me!

In 1966 on that cold December day

it was all about our love for each other

and the hopes and dreams we shared

We never planned for our lives to change

We thought we would grow old together

just as we did everything, Together. . . . .

These are the picture of our family

On our Wedding Day
We were young and full of excitement to
go on the journey of life together
raise a family
grow old together
enjoy grandchildren
All of the things that young couples hope for



I am a December Bride
And someday I will be in the arms of my
Love
and we will continue our journey Together.
Only this time it will be
FOREVER!

Introducing My Turkey's

I would like to introduce you to my Turkey's

The are the sweetest little flock of turkey friends.

You see I made each one of them.

I gave them "life"

And their personalities. . . .

I am so Thankful for them!This Tom Turkey has been with me the longest of any.

I believe he has been with me longer than my children!

He was the first one I made

He is the Head Turkey!

This little Turk use to have a sister,

But,

She is was broken into pieces and had to go to the

graveyard of Turkey's

The is the Character of the bunch!

He cracks me up

So dang cute!

Oh, this one is so sturdy and strong

I love him too.

He has been a strong good friend

And this little sweetheart, she is the beauty of the flock

So sweet and gentle is she. . .

Each November when I open the storage box to bring

my friends to life. . . . it is like greeting old friends.

They take their special place in my home and I enjoy their company

Then it will be time to retire them for another year.

My Friends the Turkey's

My Thankful Heart

There are always the obvious

that I thank the Lord for every day

(sometimes many times a day)

I am always thankful for

My Family

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

The Scriptures

Especially the Book of Mormon

I am thankful I was born to Goodly Parents

Grandparents

My Brother and His Family

My Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins

My Friends.

And the list goes on and on,

But, I also like to think of the less obvious

such as:

The list could go on and on

Once you start to list the things you are thankful for

you think of more things. . . . it never ends

And my gratitude goes to my

Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.

May you be Blessed to have them in your life.

Happy Halloween

Hope you have a Safe, Fun

Trick or Treating time

My littel ghosts, gobblins, monsters, and princesses

will be out in full force.

But I think Grandma will stay home

and get the hot chocolate and cookies ready for them

when they are done. . . . I am not sure what the little sweethearts are going to be

They have changed several time.
I will be sure to have pictures of them after
Saturday night

We will celebrate Halloween on Saturday this year

since the 31st fall on Sunday.

We like to keep Sunday reserved for

worshiping our Savior and Lord.

Saturday night the witches will be out

So

Be safe and have fun

And especially be nice.

It is a fun time for the youngsters

to dress-up and get lots of treats

After this celebration

We will start preparing for the next one

THANKSGIVING

and then you know what follows that?

But in the mean time

Happy Halloween
