Holidays!

Hello all and sorry for no posts lately! Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones! We stayed around the house working on projects, while Mom cooked up a feast! This time last year, we had nothing to show for the day other than quality time together. THIS year, however, pops was able to sit down at the table, share in some turkey, stuffings, and his favorite...mashed potatoes and GRAVY! I have to hand it to my Mom, she really makes an amazing Thanksgiving dinner, though I may be a little biast there. :)

Soooo let's see, what is new around here? Dad is in a communication class to help him with his speech, and so far so good! His brother came up recently and was impressed with his improvements. With improved speech, comes more and more food items that he gets cleared to munch on. His weight has climbed back up, as a result, though slowly. Brad is complaining that he is getting too heavy to lift! Haha.

He is getting more and more efficient on his computer, so please, continue to email him.

I went to a show recently of an artist whom I only knew due to his touring with the Dave Matthews Band this summer. Turns out, he is the son of a man that my Mom & Dad used to listen to when I was just a little tot. I stayed after the show and we reminisced of growing up in the same small town in Idaho. My Dad is going to try to touch base with his old friend.

My Mom and I have started a new hobby to help out with some of the expenses that come with home care. We have joined forces as former jewelry designers and decided to run a line of pieces to sell. Our first thought was to showcase them via this site, but I fear I have lost a great deal of my readers due to my lack of posts recently. We may just start another site. Undecided....stay tuned for further details.

Lastly, an extra big thanks to the continued support and love from family and friends. I love this time of year and the kindness that it brings out of all of us.

Love for all of you!
