My face nearly cracked from all the smiling I did Thanksgiving day. I smiled watching the dogs and cats at the shelter enjoying their goodies and all the hugs and scratches behind the ears they got. Then I smiled watching the kids at the mission eating until they had full bellies and opening the gifts several of us ladies brought for them. Oh, and one womans husbands bowling leagues (they own a bowling alley) chipped in and they passed out warn mittens, gloves, hats and scarfs to everybody, old and young alike...Alot of folks were smiling then too. I smiled when I got home to my warm cozy house and my dinner was ready and even though I ate plenty, I didn't overeat or feel full and droopy after dinner. I took my shut-in neighbor a plate of food and a pie I made. We had a nice visit and I cut and washed her hair and made sure she was comfortable and went home to snuggle with my dogs who had turkey breath which made me smile even more...

Today I am smiling because I am alone in the house watching a marathon of Without A Trace and basking in knowing that my family had fun at my house yesterday. I am smiling through my exhaustion of yesterday.

Knowing that I avoided shopping on Black Friday, LOL!!
But here is the rest of the weekend : )

I smiled..then giggled...then hooted, big belly laughs and all as I watched celtic_flame realize she had posted under my identity! Oh bless, I could not help it....her blushing was endearing and hilarious at the same time.
I trust you Ladies will afford her the same grace, kindness and wit that I received when I signed up. I think I will smile all day.
Kathy, if it's ok...can I mail you a photo of celtic soon...so you could help set it up? Thanks.

Popea

Sure, po, send a pic. I can't wait to see her! You guys should send a pic of both of you together, and then we'd be forever confused about which one of you was posting.

I smiled yesterday AND today because I resisted all of the sweet stuff on the Thanksgiving table. YOU GO ME!

I'm smiling because we just saw our brand new (2 hour old) grandson. Hubby (Papy) is beaming. Big sister (all of 5 years old) isn't so sure because it's turning out to be a rather topsy-turvy day for her, but we're all very grateful for his safe, healthy arrival!

Congratulations, Eagle Heart.

I'm smiling today because I saw a new picture of my new grandson, Dominik.

Congratulations, Eagle!

Vicki, he is a doll!

I can't believe how much hair he has! He looks like one of those "soft to touch dolls" they sell on TV. Bet you can't wait to hold him.
