What a GREAT day!  It was super busy, but I learned a lot.  This morning started with my sweet Grandmother (Mama Shirley) teaching me how to make my very first stuffing.  Down here in the south they only make "dressing."  I'm not even sure what that is, but today I learned the good old fashioned normal way of making the "stuffing."  We had such a fun adventure finding all the gizzards and NECK(that was the most incredible part of all).  Thank you Mama Shirley for taking the time to pass on your skills.  I love you!
Also, my parents safely arrived!  We are so happy to have them here with us for Thanksgiving!  It is so good to see them and spend time with them.

This is the first holiday of many without our sweet Poppy.  In fact today is the one month anniversary of his home going to meet Jesus.  We miss him every day and it definitely is not easy, but its so sweet to know he is safe with Jesus.  How horrible death must be to those who have no hope.  I am so THANKFUL to know that my Jesus will take me to heaven when I die.

Well, I guess that is all for now.  I'm really enjoying having a place to put my thoughts into words.  Maybe as time goes on I'll get better at it, but for now its a great outlet.  God bless you all and enjoy the holiday with your families.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
