"...look at that word blame. It's just a coincidence that the last two letters spell the word me. But that coincidence is worth thinking about. Other people or unfortunate circumstances may have caused you to feel pain, but only you control whether you allow that pain to go on. If you want those feelings to go away, you have to say: ‘It's up to me.’" -- Arthur Freeman

Good morning all, hope that you have had a great week. Mine has been quite busy as usual, but I really can't see that I got that much done. Ever feel that way? The weather here has been quite nice, just seems strange to have it 80 degree's and Bill has on a sweater and a flannel shirt.

We had quite a treat last Saturday evening. Lana was off work and she and Shari joined Dad and I at Red Lobster. Dad has been wanting a lobster for so long so I talked him into giving them another chance. When he saw the price ($26.) he was going to pass it up but I insisted. Both he and Lana had the 1 1/4 lobster. I cleaned it for him and when I got thru it looked like he had about .50 cents worth of lobster. It took him no time to eat it and it was good, not enough of it. I told him that maybe when Joyce came in Dec. she would bring the rest of it. 

Got to keep you up on Eloise...she is some baby...

Wouldn't you just love to kiss those cheeks!

Not a lot to say this week, worked in the yard...got all my roses cut back. Dad had an infection in his leg, but it is healing well now. That rude nurse has never been back to see him.

Next week will be a busy week...got all the baking to do..making bread, pies and so forth. But I do have a head start on the pies...Judy assured me that this will work and I hope so. I have made three apple pies and put them in the freeze. You don't cook them, when you are ready for them you take them out and cover the top with foil and cook them. It sure will cut down on the work for next week.

It is going to be very hard for the Spell family next week....Diana and Dan Anniversary is on the 22 and Dan's birthday the 23rd. They are all having a hard time anyway but this will be rough on them. I just hope that the rest of us can help them have a nice Thanksgiving.

Real concerned about the Baxley Angel gift thing. This year for some reason they are going very slow. The people at Baxley have had a rough time this year. Because of horrible living conditions they were forced to leave their residences or forfeit their subsistence. They were scattered into several new locations and have to be bused to the community center daily for their lunches.

Diana is still trying to sell Dan's corvette, she hasn't had a bite...if you know anyone that is interested please let her know. Original URL:http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cto/2627523811.html orhttp://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?ct=p&car_id=307885484&dealer_id=66684573&car_year=2001&systime=&doors=&model=CORV&search_lang=en&start_year=2001&body_style=COUPE&keywordsfyc=&keywordsrep=&highlightFirstMakeModel=&search_type=used&distance=25&min_price=&rdm=1317502914015&drive=&marketZipError=false&advanced=&fuel=&keywords_display=&sownerid=100014578&lastBeginningStartYear=1981&end_year=2001&showZipError=y&make2=&certified=&engine=&dma=ORLANDO-DAYTONA_BCH-MELBRN_SO&page_location=findacar::ispsearchform&body_code=2&isFlashPlugin=true&transmission=&default_sort=priceDESC&max_mileage=&color=&address=32953&sort_type=priceDESC&max_price=&make=CHEV&seller_type=b&num_records=25&cardist=0&standard=false&LNX=ESTAFSRCHUSDTEXT 

Helen is all set for her plans to go to NM & Tx for Christmas. It is wonderful that she will be with her children and grandchildren...I know mine make my Christmas!

Judy & Greg are off to Salem for Thanksgiving...again it is great to be with family, I feel sad for those that are not.

I saw a flashing sign on Courtenay and this is what it said "Did you know your nose is the same length as you thumb! Check it out, I did!

Please keep Nancy in your prayers she goes on Monday for her biopsy.

Well I guess that is it for this week. I am off in a few minutes to go to Orlando to the Special Central Fl Episcopal Conventions. We are going to pick a new Bishop. I hope and pray that all works well and we get the right one!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and all goes well for you and yours this week and remember no one loves you like you do!

 

Lot's of Love,
