You’ve got to love Amarillo weather!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I started this article commenting on the cooler weather, after the hot, dry summer, and now there are several inches of snow on the ground and it is still falling.

However, if the weatherman is right, it should be nice for all the little trick-ortreaters on Monday evening.

Everyone take a lot of pictures of your little goblins so we can see the cute costumes at the meeting. My daughters are just excited now as they were as little girls and even dress up to hand out the candy. I think it is a sickness inherited from their mother.

I found this quote, and it really spoke to me this week:

“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.” ~ Unknown.

The last few weeks have been quite eventful for my family. My mother fell and broke her shoulder and requires around the clock care. I told my sister we needed more siblings to share the work. We laughed, but Mom didn’t quite understand our humor. We went to the orthopedic doctor (a dad of twins) yesterday and if things stay the same, they will not have to do surgery. It was a great present for her 76th birthday!

Our friend, Laura Geske, is moving this month. We are very excited for her and her husband, Jeff, as they embark on this new chapter in their lives. They will be moving closer to family and pastoring a much larger church. This is a great opportunity for them, but more importantly, the grandkids will be much closer to their grandparents for more spoiling! We wish you the best on your move, but we will miss you. We need to give Jeff a hard time. I think he is the first father to require an emergency room visit for the children while his wife was at a club meeting.

See you at the next meeting!
