Thanksgiving & decorating for Christmas

Thanksgiving Fare - we had a 19 pound turkey for 4 of us - it was yummy!!

Some say FREEDOM is just another word

for nothing left to do.

But how Blessed we must consider ourselves Lord

to have time to spend with You.

We stand at attention with our head's held high

and our calloused hand's across our heart,

with LIBERTY and justice for all,

is that truly where we should start?

As we travel along life's bi-ways

AND we're trying to win the race,

how terribly difficult it would be to win

without his saving GRACE.

So let's wave our FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND GRACE

and win this hard fought war.

Let's renew our strength, walk and not faint

and as eagles we will learn how to soar.

Trip to Michigan

This past weekend, Phil and I took a trip to my parents in Michigan. On Saturday we went to an antique mall, Lake Erie, General Custer's Museum and Maggie Moo's ice cream parlor. Here's a few pictures.

Hoosier likes to hide in our stuff.
