Sorry to have been away for so long but was not feeling well and rested alot. Meant to get here sooner but just just could not make it.
I am doing better now but still cannot sit for to long or walk much or the spasms will begin again. Am on alot of medication to so my mind has been alittle foggy.
Will try to get back here on Monday and write more and find out whats been up with you all.

Mary, I am so sorry that you haven't been feeling well... Prayers, for your speedy recovery. I knew something had to be wrong since you haven't posted in a few days... Get rest and post when you feel better. Take care...

Morning Ladies,

How is everyone doing? I'm feeling better and my sore throat is improving. It's getting colder in the mornings and closer to christmas, being my favorite time of year. Yesterday I bought christmas ornaments for the tree, because people are shopping and snatching up items like crazy. If I didn't go shopping this early I wouldn't have been able to bought the things that I wanted for this time of year. Even some items are already scarce. LOL. Have any of you been experiencing this, this year?

It's a relief that people are starting to like christmas again. There was a scare last year that people were going to call christmas something else, like "Happy Holidays" I guess to not "offend" anyone. This was due to some activites who were trying to stop the celebration of Christ's birth. There is always some opposition against Jesus Christ. Some nativity scenes displays that were in front of some churchs were vandelized because of those who think that they're doing the right thing. Even a bank owner thought they had to take down a christmas tree in the bank, to not offend anyone. It was getting really bad, but I believe that Jesus Christ has prevailed and that people are celebrating this year with a vengence. Amen!!!

You'll have a great day!!!
God Bless,

Ya, I do believe that more people are celebrating Christmas then last year... It is hard though to find Christmas Cards that say Merry Christmas anymore, and that is a shame... Christmas is all about Jesus and people need to get a clue...

la.lady · 11-24-2008, 11:54 AM

I got a call earlier and Whitney, Lindsay and MiKayla will be getting here tonight... Dawn, Joey and Jessi will be getting here tomorrow and Melanie and Danny will be coming in Wednesday night...We will have a house full of critters too. We will have four dogs and 2 cats...That is the hard thing that we have to put up with, but the girls couldn't come, if they didn't bring their animals... Life was much easier a few years ago...

Pcola Girl · 11-24-2008, 12:17 PM

Morning Ladies,

Hope you're all having a good week. Winter is coming very soon here on the west coast of BC. It's cold and damp and dark in the mornings, so I've been wearing my winter coat while walking to the bus stop. That's the only time I get my exercise, otherwise I'm usually too tired to do anything else. But, I'm hoping that the new med will get my energy level going. God knows, and will work things out concerning my wieght and health.

You'll have a great day!!!

HUGS, HUGS, HUGS!!!

Kensbev · 11-27-2008, 08:35 AM

Happy Thanksgiving all! Today is a good day to stir up my gratitude by reminding myself of all the wonderful things that God has blessed me with. Christ has given me the gift of allowing me fellowship with him/them, despite all the harm I've done to that relationship. And I'm eternally thankful for that unmerited gift.

As my daughters like to say... "Jesus rocks!"

la.lady · 11-30-2008, 09:09 AM

Good Morning my lovely ladies.... Our Thanksgiving was so wonderful and what a happy time that we all had.... So many good things to eat and I am blessed that I only put on a pound and pigged out all the time. We were so very busy and had so much fun... the family left yesterday around 3 p.m. and I have been piddling around the house ever since. Getting a few things done...

Have a very blessed Day, and we all are thankful for our Blessings...

Couple Waits Till Marriage for First Kiss

Saturday, November 29, 2008

CHICAGO — Won't kiss on the first date? How about waiting until marriage?

Chicagoans Melody LaLuz, 28, and Claudaniel Fabien, 30, shared their first kiss Saturday at the altar. The two teach abstinence at the city's public schools and practiced what they preached to their teenage students.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the couple had never kissed and that they had never been alone together in a house.

A friend of LaLuz says wedding guests cheered and stomped during the two-minute smooch.

LaLuz and Fabien say they have no worries about how they will spend their honeymoon in the Bahamas.
