~NUTCRACKER~

This Sunday I spent the day with some of my family at the "Nutcracker ballet". It was nice to be able to spend some time with some of my family today. This weather, "BLIZZARD" this weekend in Minnesota is really unbearable... Can I say brrrrrr. I think this weekend we must have gotten 12 inches of snow! This bad weather has really gotten me behind in shopping. I don't have my Christmas tree up yet, and I just started baking a bit. So I just wanted to drop a line and I better get going before I am considered the scrooge!

~MERRY CHRISTMAS~

~Blizzard In Minnesota~

I just love MINNESOTA/NOT...
I just wanted to drop a few lines to say a kind hello to all of my friends. Time is just zipping by... Can you believe I don't even have our Christmas tree up yet, uhhh...
I have had zero time. When I was working this weekend I went to a play/dance recital called "Scrooge". It was light entertainment but it brought in the Christmas spirit! I hope all of you have been shopping, baking and thinking of your loved ones... Be kind and spread the holiday spirit and remember all of those that have less and are in need... Spread Christmas~

~What a Wonderful Holiday Event~

What a Sunday I had!!! I went with my mom to the "Transiberian Orchestra"... It was an amazing show!!! I have never seen anything like it... I highly recommend everyone to go... It was an amazing holiday show that made me weep.. There was a narrator and then the music told the story. It reminds people to always be kind and give. Not only at Christmas time but all through the year! Thanks mom for a great time! In a few weeks we are going to the "Nut Cracker"!! What a way to get into the Holiday spirit!!! Now if I could only find time to get the Christmas tree up!

**It's Snowing in Minnesota**

It's beginning to feel like Christmas outside... Tuesday was a very busy day for me. I helped the ladies in a group home where I work set up their Christmas tree! We listened to Christmas music, ate pizza, made cookies, went to Starbucks, and drove around and looked at Christmas lights... Now if you call that work??? I call that having a good time!!!

Tomorrow I get to do the same thing again!!! My new job is very sweet!!! I get to do lots of fun, busy things that I really enjoy doing. My day is never dull, always busy... I get to be out in the community, talking with people, shopping, be in a home environment, teach life skills, inspire people what more could I ask for???

I have to admit I am very busy and lately I have barely had time to think of anyone. I feel really bad because life is so precious and time is so short. It's usually late at night when I want to call people and they are usually in bed. I send a big hello out to everyone and I am sorry I haven't been able to keep up with life...

I hope you all have a beautiful day and I hope all of you get the opportunity to inspire someone. Many smiles to you from across the miles :)))))

~HAPPY THANKSGIVING~

I thought this picture was so sweet.. This is not my picture but I found it on the web. I hope the owner doesn't mind but I thought I had to share as it was so sweet~

I also found this poem that I thought touched every point in my heart~ So I thought as well I would share. Near and far my family and friends are but please know you are all dear to my heart... I will miss having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all of my loved ones. My family has fallen apart and many of us have gone our own ways. My family changed drastically two years ago. How the years fly by and how things have changed. Holidays are not the same any more. I think with my husband having different traditions then I and not having much family things really are not the same. I stand in my kitchen at midnight tonight making pumpkin pies and standing alone. I think when it comes down to things it really makes me wonder who you can count on in this life???
Through the years I have been faced with many set backs and as well I have been rewarded. I have a good life, I have a son that never seems to break the rules, gets good grades and most days helps as much as a teenager can. He's good at sports and doesn't ask for much. I have a husband who provides and who helps most days as much as husbands do. I have two dogs, one cat that love me unconditionally. I have a few family members that I can count on two hands that I don't see very often. I have a few friends near and far that I don't see very often. I have a great job, a nice house, nice cars what more could I ask for??? Life is sometimes just the way it is. Tomorrow I get to celebrate Thanksgiving with a few ladies I help with daily living skills every day. I am thankful I get to bring joy to their lives! I will celebrate the rest of the day and evening with my husband son, and some of his friends. My mother will stop in for a bit and possibly my brother will bring granny by my place. I will have many great people around me on this special day that I give thanks for~

I hope all of you near and far have a Happy Thanksgiving~ For all of those that are with out their family and loved ones I send a special prayer your way and may you know that someone near or far are holding you in their thoughts~

~Happy Thanksgiving~

This Thanksgiving holiday with its blessings so grand
Should serve to remind us of the joys at hand
The friendships we treasure, our families dear
The love we've been given and shared, year to year
The food at our tables, where many have none
The dawn of each morning beneath the bright sun
The dreams that we carry; the warmth in our hearts
That bring us together when we are apart.

WOW... MY LIFE HAS BEEN SPINNING....
It has been anything but slow.... It has been a great adventure trying to put a business together. It's a big responsibility to have so many other people depending on you. I think I am doing a great job and the most important thing is that at the end of the day everyone is content...I really like my new job so far as a Director...

Cool weather in Minnesota, sounds of Holiday times in the air~ My husband is returning from San Antonio Texas tonight.. He called and he just landed in Minneapolis. It will be a midnight return home time... During these last two weeks we have spent very little time together. It will be nice to spend a nice night in his arms again~ Happy Hump day tomorrow...

My husband finally returned from his weekend vacation. He should have flown back instead of driving. He flew out to Las Vegas last Thursday and met his friend in Las Vegas. They decided to return by car so they could explore some new sites and sounds! I think next time he would prefer to fly???

My new job is going great!
