Happy to hear that you had a wonderful Thankgiving with your loving family, DD.

Prayers continuing for you and your medical team.

[oldteen]

So sweet, M.

Thank you.

Don't ya just love'em at that age? Still dependent, a great personality, and don't care if they have brand names or generic on their bottoms as long as it's dry! :)

[oldteen]

Awww...how cute, t-pammy!

Thank you.

Did you have a nice Thanksgiving?

[yorkie]

Wow, Teenie! You get more talented every day! Love that graphic!

Wishing you a peaceful and relaxing Friday. (((HUGS)))

[oldteen]

[oldteen]

Good afternoon, Conor!

Thank you Conor for our FRiday patriots!

Don't work too hard today.

It did go well, Teenie. I went over there at 9:30 am with the sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and the apples, onions, garlic and orange to put in the turkey cavities, and butter, olive oil, sea salt and herbs to cover the turkeys with.

I prepared the turkeys and then came back home to prepare the stuffing, and get dressed for dinner. At 1:30, went back over. The turkeys took longer than they were supposed to, but it could have been the oven - who knows? Everything came out perfect (though just a bit later than planned.)

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi, Teenie! We had about two dozen people. The turkey was delicious and the stuffing, made by Mrs. MacNessa, was divine.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[oldteen]

Sounds like a great day for all!

You are so right. Everyone has something to be thankful for. When I visit people in the nursing home I hear a lot of that. They will say, “I’m no good to anybody anymore, I don’t understand why the Lord keeps me here.” I ask them if they can still pray. There are so many people who need our prayers, and prayer is always helpful. That thought seems to help them put things in perspective. As long as we have our mind, we are able to pray for others, and how do we know that God isn’t keeping us alive just to pray for a particular person. It’s about keeping the Spirit strong in the world as a whole. The Lord knows we need more of His Spirit.

[geologist]

It is written in Luke 4:18-19, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. ...

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Now I'm the sorry one...I didn't see this last night nor this morning. (Old eyes can't be helped..lol)

Good to hear you are not feeling poorly and having family around always makes for a good day.

Wow...Christmas will be here before we know it. And then, 2012 will move in!

How long do you have to have chemo? Perhaps you won't lose much hair. But, if you do, just remember..BALD IS BEAUTIFUL! :)

Black FRiday is not something I even consider being involved in. Those people are seriously dangerous!

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend. Prayers continue for you!

[oldteen]

Did she make any special kind? I saw where you were asking about a recipe the other day.

Congrats on the goooood food! (Makes me hungry again..lol)

[ConorMacNessa]

We make a basic old-fashioned stuffing with sausage in it. The recipe we more or less follow I found online a couple of years ago. We have had good results with it.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!
