Veterans' Day

Thank you for all you have done for us. My Father-in-Law fought in one war and it affects him still today.

Tackle It Tuesday

Okay, I'm still working on my hubby's office. I started cleaning out one corner and though its not a huge difference, I thought I'd share my progress. If I work this right, the pic on the left is before and the one on the right is in process. I know there is still so much to do but its progress.

I Am Thankful For...

For the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching TV, because that means he is at home and not on the streets.
For the taxes I pay, because it means that I am employed.
For the mess to clean after a party, because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means that we have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking, and that I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill, because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in my place of worship when she sings off key, because it means that I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing, because it means I have clothes to wear.
For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.
For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive.
and finally....

For too much e-mail, because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.(

Daughter's Room

I promised pics of my daughter's room so here they are.
Not as clean as it could be but still, an improvement.

I Voted

My husband and I went to the polls about 8:30am or so. There was no line at all. We walked up to the table, got our card and went to the cubicles they had set up. I voted my head-in case of a tie, I voted my heart. I feel good about my decisions. If the people I voted for don't make it in or the ones I didn't vote for do, I will support whomever is sworn in to the offices.
