I currently have tables all over the house getting ready
for Thanksgiving when a horde of28 hungry relatives will
descend. No, I am not doing all the cooking, my sister
will bring half the food and all the grown ups will
contribute a dish. This year they are concentrating on
Bobby's favorites like Earthquake Cake, corn bread salad,
and green bean casserole while I do the other half of the
holiday favorites like turkey and pies. It is supposed to
rain but I sure hope not so that the children can go
outside. It is a celebration of life and love and one
that I am happy to be a part of for children and extended
family.

I just realized that I am almost at another milestone.
When I think about taxes...property taxes and income
taxes..I realize I am getting close to my 87th birthday.
I never once thought I would reach this advanced age.
Being elderly has it's downside but this body of mine
seems to keep on chugging away, albeit a little slower.
