A Yuletide Gift of Kindness

A Yuletide Gift of Kindness
I just read this article..and it touched me so. In all the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping,trying to find the right gift,how many,outdoing ourselves.....do we find ourselves forgetting the true meaning of the Holidays? This man didn't..and he gave of himself to others to "just give" ! This year,I am going to remember this..I don't have a lot,I have much less than most, but more than many..I have a roof over my head,food to eat(not always what I'd like,but nothing I hate and my stomach is full)...I can't buy new craft supplies,but I have lots I have bought over the years that I can use, I am rich in the love of my family and friends...surely I can find a little extra to help someone less fortunate than me!!!...when I go to buy a toy for each of my grandchildren for Christmas..I will buy three for needy children..if I can do more I will !
Thanks for visiting......Ann

I spent the last several days spending time creating some Christmas atc's . Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look!
Now, it's time to get the last of what I need for Thanksgiving dinner...I always wind up leaving something off the list!! I love the smell of the turkey roasting. We are having "cold" weather for us..high 50's,which is at least 10 degrees below normal for this time of year!
For all who celebrate, I wish you blessings this Thanksgiving with lots of love,fun,family and friends to share it with!

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the women and men who served or are serving in our military.
My father served in the Navy during WWII..he was welcomed home at the end of the war with a hero's welcome...thank you Daddy,I know you hear me in Heaven.
My husband served in Nam...I'm glad you made it out!!! He came home,not to a Hero's welcome,but to people who gave him a hard time...no help for the Nam vets like there was for other wars...maybe because it was called a "conflict" ? There is help now,but not when he came home. Well, THANK You Stephen..I am proud of you..and I love you.
My father and husband never got the day off while they were employed...government workers get it off,some never having served!!! Don't you think all who served should get the day off? I DO !!
However you celebrate the day..remember those who never came home..along with those who were lucky enough to!!!

My Grandchildren's School photo's !!!

Amelia Grace..5 years old...Kindergarten photo
Titus..6 years old...First Grade photo
They grow so fast..it just seems like yesterday I was in the delivery room when my 86 lb. 4'10" daughter pushed out 9 lb Titus....and just yesterday when I watched them perform a C-Section and raise Amelia Grace from her mother's anesthetized body(she was out cold because she was so scared and couldn't relax enough for a spinal!!). To see them born,hear their first cry and welcome them into the world was a privilege..to help raise them is a blessing!!!
So..I'm sharing my little blessings with all of you!!!
(It will be another 3 years before the last little blessing,Eddie, has a school photo to share!!)
hugs, Ann
