THANKSGIVING POEM
TWAS THE NIGHT OF THANKSGIVING,
BUT I JUST COULDN'T SLEEP
I TRIED COUNTING BACKWARDS,
I TRIED COUNTING SHEEP.
THE LEFTOVERS BECKONED -
THE DARK MEAT AND WHITE
BUT I FOUGHT THE TEMPTATION
WITH ALL OF MY MIGHT
TOSSING AND TURNING WITH ANTICIPATION
THE THOUGHT OF A SNACK BECAME INFATUATION.
SO, I RACED TO THE KITCHEN, FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR
AND GAZED AT THE FRIDGE, FULL OF GOODIES GALORE.
GOBBLED UP TURKEY AND BUTTERED POTATOES,
PICKLES AND CARROTS, BEANS AND TOMATOES.
I FELT MYSELF SWELLING SO PLUMP AND SO ROUND,
'TIL ALL OF A SUDDEN, I ROSE OFF THE GROUND.
I CRASHED THROUGH THE CEILING,
FLOATING INTO THE SKY
WITH A MOUTHFUL OF PUDDING
AND A HANDFUL OF PIE.
BUT, I MANAGED TO YELL AS I SOARED PAST THE TREES....
HAPPY EATING TO ALL - PASS THE CRANBERRIES, PLEASE.
MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,
MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY
HAVE NARY A LUMP,
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER
STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING BE BLESSED!!

What a great weekend!
Leroy went up for baptizim and I could not be happier. Now we can all formally join the church. We have just been waiting on "Daddy".
I got all the stuff from WalMart that I had on layaway out and took it up to my Dad's house in Zepherhills. It was nice to see "Grandpa", and I got to see a lot of old pictures he had as well. He is going to email me them.
I am off this week, and have a ton of work to do! Better get to it.

Did you know Hungry Howie's Pizza has specials on Wednesday. Cheese Pizza for $3.99 and an extra dollar for any topping.
I'm full.
Work has be stretched out! I'm still working out at the YMCA. I love the aerobics instructed that teaches on Monday and Wednesday, but I can't go on Wed. because we go to church. I make the Mon. class though. He is so much fun! He flirts with the other girl's and it tickles me. I think he knows they need to be flirted with, know what I mean? We all love the class though!\
I bought a hand made wooden bowl from my online friend AL, who I have been corresponding with for about 7 years. He and his wife life up north. It's funny because this is the first time I have ever known what town he lived in. They are retired in their 70s and have a ton of Grandsons.
It's a beautiful bowl, and I will always have it to remind me of my friend AL.

Prayer Before Eating
Little Johnny went with his mom and dad to his grandmother's house for
dinner. When little Johnny received his plate he started eating right away.
"Johnny, wait until we say our prayer," said his mother.
"I don't have to," the boy replied.
"Of course, you do," his mother insisted. "We say a prayer before eating
at our house."
"That's our house," Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house, and she
knows how to cook!"

Below is a wonderful message Audrey Hepburn wrote when she was asked to share her "beauty tips." It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
