Today is Monday and it is cloudy and cooold outside. Wayne and I went down to Grandmas today and got up her leaves and put away all her outdoor stuff for the winter. These days make me think of Papaw, because when he was alive, he did all of these things himself. He passed away in 2005 in December. He is still greatly missed especially around the holidays. He was so funny and the life of any get together. He would joke and laugh with the grandkids. He was always firing grandma when they worked together. She was never worried about getting fired because she knew he would always take her to work with him the very next day, only to fire her again. We had so much fun being together with them. Holidays are family times, a time for making lasting memories. A time to be thankful for all the time God has given us to be together .
We are getting together this Thanksgiving up at my brother and sister in laws house. There will be those that are missing because of living a distance away, they will be missed. There will be those who will be missing by choice, they will also be missed. Happy Thanksgiving.

The baby shower.
Thursday: I went up to my daughter Rachel's house in Allentown Pa. (3 hour trip). We went and picked up the baby crib. I spent the night with her and Samer (her husband). On Friday, her and I went to Penndel Pa.
(a 2 hour trip), to pick up the cake which was given to her for the shower by a dear friend of Rachel's. We then returned to my home in Maryland (a 3 hour trip). Samer came down after work ( 2.45 hours). Needless to say there was a whole lot of roadwork involved in this baby shower. Saturday was the shower day. We spent the day going to the store and preparing the food, decorating and such for the shower. It was great. Everyone had a wonderful time. They received many nice gifts for baby Benjamin. God has been so good to them and to us all. We serve a good and kind heavenly Father. You can view pictures of the shower on Rachel's blog- joyfulpraise, located on my sidebar below.

Dutch doll quilt for my Granddaughter Gracie.
This is a project I have been working on for some time now. I hope to have in finished by January 2009, so that I can take it to her when we go for a visit. My son and his family live in Monterey,Ca. My son is in the navy. I have one granddaughter and 2 two grandsons (with another grandson on the way. My daughter, Rachel (Joyful Praise) is expecting a boy in January.) When I started the quilt I thought it would be done a lot sooner, but a lot of things have kept me from getting it finished. It is also a bigger job than I thought. So be patient Gracie dear. Grandma will get it done for you sometime.
