Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is coming soon

Turkeys will be on the table

and family will be coming in the door.

To share this feast and more.

There will be laughter and sharing.

Home made pies and chocolate cake.

Neighbors coming by to say hello -

Wishing us well and laughter galore.

When we give thanks, I'll think of you

And wish you were here.

To share in this day of grace.

I'll have my thoughts of you to embrace.

We'll give thanks for family that came.

Thank to God for the food.

Thanks for the love here this day.

Thanks that we can all get together and pray.

Jason's birthday party is coming up. I called Chuck-e-Cheeses. It will be his first official birthday as our son. I want it to be special. I am going to invite his half-sister, Katelyn. I hope that she can make it. The prices they charge for an hour and half are crazy. I can't believe its going to cost over $100 for a birthday party for such a little boy. Oh well it will be worth it.

My brother's birthday

Well its my little brother, Troy's birthday. I'm happy for him but it reminds me how much I miss my family. My sister and brother both moved to Florida last year. I know its selfish that I feel like I do but I simply do.

So for his birthday, I decided to find a memory of Michael, my first husband. You see, Michael wanted Freebird to be played when he died at his funeral. I had to fight the entire family to have it done but Troy did it during the ceremony for me. I remember him rocking himself and I thought he was jamming. Until I saw the tears on his face. Thank you, Troy, I will always love you for that.

I found it on YouTube and it was first produced in 1973 by Lynyrd Skynyrd "Free Bird".

How Deep Is Your Love

This seemed appropriate for Valentine's Day

How Deep Is Your Love by The Bee Gees

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do

And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

And you come to me on a summer breeze,
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?

How deep is your love
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breakin’ us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
Happy Valentine's Everyone

Tips to brighten up your bathroom

I always look for cheap ways to brighten up my house. Lately I've been looking at my bathroom. Honestly I don't like it much. It needs help drastically. So I did some research and found some little things to do to help brighten it up rather cheaply.

Here are my tips to you:

Repaint walls. Paint isn't all that expensive so refreshing the color does wonders to brighten up the room.
Replace the old hardware such as handles and drawer pulls.
Change your towels. Toss out the old frazzle looking towels and buy some new ones and hang them up. Make sure that you pick out bright colors to pull the eye.
Change your shower curtain or window treatments.

If all else fails, update your bathtub, sink and shower for a fresh looks. Remember anything you put in your bathroom within reason will only improve the value of your house.
