The Scene here....Friday after T Day

My sweet daughter in law...

made homemade waffles for breakfast...

wah...wah...

 I didn't dare eat any.

I am nursing myself on organic apple juice

and distilled water with

organic raw apple cider vinegar..

yuk!

My little grand baby boy

who is about 18 months...

keeps popping his head in here

bringing me things....

while I lay on a heating pad

nursing myself back to normal...

My two grand girls are here in the room with me...

watching a cartoon....

Melissa'a mom is in the kitchen...

making lefsa...

Ummm...smells soooo good!

But I don't dare.

Funny thought...

I've never tried lefsa.

The Guitar man went and picked up 

my oldest grandson

and took him to the Harry Potter movie...

we're waiting for him to come home...

and then hopefully

me and the girls will go and see

Tangled.

I asked them if just 'Pop' could take them...

seeing I am still 

under the weather...

"No way Jose'" was there response.

This Thanksgiving weekend

I am so thankful for so much.

First of all for God in my life....

and all that 'He' means to me...

my precious family and husband...

work that is creative and keeps me fulfilled...

and my special thankful thought 

for this year....

is that I have found out what

has been ailing me these last 18 years...

that no other doctor has picked up on.

I always try to find the 'blessing'

in the hard times.

This one wasn't hard to find.

So from bed....

I wish for all of you a wonderful

Thanksgiving weekend!

Hugs,

John'aLee

Great Tutorials, What Nots and Give Aways's I've Found Traveling Through Blog Land

I had to have at least one picture to put up with this post even though it isn't related in the least. The 'black' Meet Me In Paris was made by Nan Nay and the burgundy one was made by me.

So you know how sometimes
you are traveling 
through blog land...
and you see all of these great things.
You just feel wrong not sharing them.
So I'm taking care of my guilt...
I'm doing a whole blog post on what I've found.
Enjoy!
