Creeping Crud

Mike, Cindy, Kris and myself have this awful upper-respitory crud.  We are all on heavy antibiotics and trying to get well before Christmas.  I'm happy that our shopping is complete and all wrapped under the tree..It is suppose to snow tonight...so, since I  feel ever such a little bit better than Mike, I went to the store for some basics.  The kids and Cindy have a 1/2 day tomorrow...we'll see.  Thank you to Helen for her RAKS...random acts of kindness...I have really been sad since last Friday.

This is where my heart is tonight...

How do you wrap your heart around this horrific act ...for the love of God...they were making gingerbread houses and talking about  the Gingerbread Boy...something I did every year with my 1st Graders or my Kindergartners...my heart really aches-:(

One Day it works

One day I can post just fine...the next blahhhh!
I worked at the pantry this morning....we had so many we ran out of meat!!!
I hope the Cruz's are alright...not one single new post that I can read today.....it always worries me when I can't read any of their posts...but today...not any one of the three!
Taking the Grandboys out for dinner in just a few minutes...I will try the picture thing again!

Whew!!!

Cindy and her family helped get all the decorations up this weekend.....then we helped decorate the church yesterday.   This morning I'm off to breakfast with my really special support group.  I'm trying to post a picture and write on the blog from my iPad...hopefully this will work -:)

Happy Thanksgiving

Word just came in last evening that after the final money count for our auction that we made our yearly budget, plus $100 over...yippppeee skippppeeee!
Sure glad you are home and safe Helen -:)
We are heading to St.Louis in a couple of hours to spend Thanksgiving with Mike's family...and tomorrow we will see Skip....all should be good!
Love you all....

One More Huge Project

Today I am responsible for a huge auction to raise money for our annual budget for PEO.  PEO is an organization of Women that work to raise   money for scholarships for women to further their education.  We own Cottey College and there are PEO chapters all over the United States.  We also have an outreach program to help women that need a helping hand...we just got a $2800 grant that helped a woman in our community that desperately needed a deck with a ramp built on the front of her home.  She is diabetic and must use a walker and has many volunteers in the community that help her.
I am very proud to be apart of this organization and feel that my heritage leads me to stand up and help Women wherever I am able....Wish me luck...we need to raise $2,000 today...we have accomplished the last 3 years that I have been involved <3 p="p">

Time to go to pantry

I'm off to work at the pantry with a huge smile on my face.  Very tired, but so worth all the hard work...Missouri actually went some blue and especially our county went back to blue....Yippee Skippeee!!!!! I'm a happy girl this morning

Home to Rest

I have been at headquarters since early morning...now home to rest.....I am encouraged, but I think it will be a long night....

Didn't get Truman on the 1st time....
