~Saffron Bread Day!~ :-)

I splurged on myself for this holiday.. I bought some saffron.

A friend is supposed to send me some but I just couldn't wait

any longer.. Being Thanksgiving..that's one of the smells of the

holidays..Saffron, Pumpkin, Turkey, all those delicious aromas..

The house would start to smell days before when we would make

all the trimmings..getting things ready for the last put together

and the baking.. Pies of course, my mother always made her

famous fruit salad..as well... Its amazing how customs from

childhood you really keep but don't realize that you do.. I am so

pleased Kelli is starting to have her own holiday dinners.. Its

so good.. helps to keep the family close to enjoy each others

company.. The adults always sort of paired off the men usually

in the living room talking or watching something on TV some

I can remember being outside it was so nice out..The women

always gathered around the table or helped out in the kitchen

before eating and were always the last ones up from the table

after everyone else left.. They were good times.. I remember

just sitting and listening to the things they talked about.. and

most of the time ... it was of THEIR childhood memories of the

"gathering of the clan", so to speak...and its still done today...

I have an old 8mm tape, I have 3 of them..my dad made these

movies.. they are wonderful.. My sister had them put on VCR

tape..and now I would like to have them put onto a CD..I wish

there was some way I could get some of the photos off of them..

I don't have a VCR so I cant play them.. I have a dvd player

here on my computer so I could see them again on here.. I

think they would be preserved better on CD ..but then again..

after me, who would want them anyway...But its nice to see

my cousins and I when we were so young..all the fun we had

all together.. I wish it could be that way for kids now days..its

so hard to be one.. I dread to think..what this place will be

like in 20 years..when this new baby is grown.. its so scarey..

That's why I don't look ahead very far...

I do have to plan somewhat ahead..if I didn't I could get in

trouble. that's even as far as paying bills..or even if I was to

go somewhere.. I would like to go to Kellis..but I just don't feel

up to par and if I am coming down with some thing.. well , my

girl doesn't need to be sick..or anyone else I would come in

contact with..I do plan though..I call it my plan of attack.. I have

learned not to just rush into doing something..that can get me

in trouble..I have learned to roll back..check out what ever it is,

and THEN decide how best to do it or what ever.. That's the

SMART way to do things..I will admit tho..sometimes I have

just charged on ahead and done stuff only to find out THAT was

a BIG no no...I do have to check things out..and admit that there

are just some things, no matter what, I just cant do them any

more and just get over it.. It does make me mad sometimes,

but well I know I just have to keep on rollin..and with round

wheels on this chair..well im doin just that !...

My thumb is still lookin ugly but it itches, which is a good sign..

I got up at 4 this morning again..but after I sat for a while I realized

all I saw on TV was two and a half men..that was done at 8..I know

I did NOT see the end of it.. So I did get some sleep.. I will have

to quit leaning back so far and maybe my eyes wont automatically

be halfway already closed..like the old dolls eyes did when you laid

them back..well I guess they still do that now tho.. Ive not seen a

little girls doll lately ..well that's how my eyes do.. so maybe sitting

up straighter might help.. I got some of that saffron Bread waiting

for me and I have no will power I HAVE to have some, so 3 guesses

where Im headed..to the kitchen.. I think of all those people today

that are on the road going to family or friends.. I just hope they all

make it safely... I think I can make it safely to my kitchen and then

to SIT UP on my bed..GORGEOUS WEEBLES however look

just GORGEOUS what ever way the sit, lay or sleep.. at least

THIS one does :-D.. "Nitey Nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya..and Thanks ! Oh, and

Happy Thanksgiving, Y'all are one of my blessings you know :-)

Always,

Lois ****
