Veterans Day and my Birthday!

It is a cloudy day. We thank and remember all those who served to protect us and our way of life. God bless you all! Today is also my birthday. I went to Norm and Sandys last night for a very good supper and was surprised by a gift of winter crocks. They are so comfortable on my feet. The kids were talkative and wanted to show and tell about their toys and outfits. I miss my grandkids even more when I see Sandys. Terrie ordered my crocks on line and they were a perfect fit. Ryan and Dennis talked about hunting and men stuff--Norm was misses as he is still downstate. I got to the Point for the ceremony there and I really enjoyed it. So many ships have been lost on these waters and the men with them. They had a Native American Spiritual Leader there who spoke a prayer in his native language. I am so glad that the children are learning to speak so the language isn't lost. He was a very impressive man. The kids have been calling and I enjoy hearing their voices. Ann sent me a wallet to match the purse she got me and now I am organized--a first for me. I am thankful for the years I have had and God willing I will celebrate more of them. My gifts in my life have been a Mom and Dad who raised me, a husband, who loves me even when I'm not to lovable and my kids, who I treasure. The grandchildren and the rest of the family group are an added bonus. How blessed am I.
