Happy Thanksgiving Mom!

After work today I bought some flowers to take to my moms grave. I added them to some carnations that were already there. It was a beautiful day, sunny and warm for November. I know I am a goof. Here is a pic of the event. :) I reflected on all the things I am thankful for that my mother taught me. She was a tremendously wonderful mom. I thanked her for all that she did for me. She had so much love for our family. I was walking across the lawn as I left a song about love came into my mind. It was a perfect moment for me as I thought about so many neat memories.

I can't believe the incredible weather we have been having. We took the grandkids for a ride to the cabin last Saturday. We were just there long enough for lunch and a little fun!

Kalli wanted Grandpa to swing her forever.

Oh man where does the time go? I can't believe I haven't posted anything in a month. Fall is slipping away from us. And winter is at our doorstep. On Nov. 5th we had another snowstorm. Here is a photo of Mount Olympus from the parking lot at my work. Isn't it pretty?


And look at our house covered in a blanket of white.




I have finished quite a bit of Christmas shopping. I even have a lot of things wrapped. Can never be too prepared. LOL Actually it is the best way to hide them from the grandkids. It should be a fun Christmas this year. Brennan and Kalli are old enough to understand it all.
