Thanksgiving 2007

Welcome to my blog!!! I have been wanting to do this for quite awhile.... but due to computer limitations I was unable to until now. I am now the proud owner of an iMAC and have a lot of new venues to work with! My hope for this blog is to be able to let all my family and friends know what is going on in my life and be able to chronicle significant events. Please feel free to comment - it lets me know you were here!  Everyone is so busy- myself included. Stopping by a blog is a great way to keep up with things in a few short minutes. My perception of blogs is that mostly the younger generations do this....  so hopefully you all will forgive me when I get a little cheesy or corny at times! 

This is Thanksgiving weekend. Brooke, Evan and McKenzie were here and it was so fun. Evan did a fantastic job of connecting my computer, transferring things from my old computer, and gave me a few great lessons on the MAC world. I think I'm gong to like it but it is different!!!! My other computer was so old- it was so frustrating! This one is so fun - the graphics are amazing. I am really excited to be be able to do more with my pictures and music. So bear with me while I learn this stuff! Having McKenzie here was a blast. She is so fascinated with my cat, Jade,  it's hilarious. She talks to her like they are friends and Jade is talking back. I love it that she yells "Gramma" every 2 seconds if she doesn't know where I am. I love it that you can joke with her and tease her and she will joke back.

This was a pretty low key Thanksgiving - Brooke and Evan did the Run to Feed the Hungry here in Sacramento- along with 22,000 other people. I stayed with Kenzie and watched the crazy crowd. We had a great dinner late in the day. Cami was able to be at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC!!! How fun for her! She had dinner with friends. Ian, Anayansi, Reagan,  and Jenna had Thanksgiving at their new house with her parents. I had fun talking to all of them on the phone. I am so looking forward to going to see them at Christmas!  I have so much to be thankful for. The list of things I am grateful for is so long I don't want to bore anyone. But having my health so that I can be with my family and friends tops the list.

Hi mom! :) Happy belated Thanksgiving to you. I know we weren't able to enjoy dinner together this year but you were definitely in my thoughts. I heard that you are going to be a grandmother again! Congratulations!! I bet Brooke and Evan are so excited.

I love you and miss you so much!! Talk to you soon...

Blogs are a great way to keep a journal, and share photos with family and friends.

Glad to see you are doing it.

Cool banner, what with the cursive and all. It looks good.
