My friends I am spending Thanksgiving with

[Landon]

Are just very kind and down to earth folks, yawl would just love them!! The husband and wife (second marriage for both of them) have been married 26 years, I think it is 26 and between the 2 of them, they have 9 kids. They have 6 together, the 3 youngest still living at home and all 3 of those boys are striking red heads, 2 with bright blue eyes and the youngest with amber coloured eyes. Some of their boys are star athletes, you would not believe the number of trophies she has from her sons.

Anyway, they are devout Roman Catholics attending church come hell or high water every week and now the 2 youngest boys serve as altar boys frequently. The youngest, Joe, has been an altar boy for about a year now.

One fine Sunday morning, her 2 boys were serving together and Joe had a rash of some sort on his genitals and it started bothering him. He had to scratch himself, thinking no one would see.

Well, they did and Deb wanted to die, right then and there and as if that wasn't embarrassing enough, several of the moms came up to her after service, expressing how much more they
enjoyed service when Joe was altar boy.

I can't wait til Thursday!!! :):):):)

Have a wonderful time. I think all holidays should have children with them. Like soda and ice.

Does she crochet??? Sounds like she would fit in great with us! Have a good time!!

She has MS and has about lost the use of her right hand. She sews and I mean SEWS. She made a lot of her sisters important outfits growing up and in more recent years has made quilts. One of her daughter in laws has her quilts hanging on her walls. Her quilts are just stunning, she is a very talented seamstress. She tried knitting and crocheting and did both beautifully but she is very modest. She has to sign her name with her left hand now and that is slow going.

By talking to her, you would never believe that she had health problems, she is such an inspiration to me. Her kids just adore her and considering my background, it is such a treasure for me to see a happy and loving family in action. She restored my faith in humanity, she gave me hope again when I thought there were no good families.

Enjoy the holidays, everyone!
