Today is Thanksgiving! Dad, Bev, Roy Samuel, Carolyn, Marissa, Roy, Alyssa, and Me! We had a wonderful dinner, lots of food, the dressing with turkey sausage was wonderful and spicy!

We had pumpkin and pecan pie for dessert, and it rained before and after dinner - warm inside and cool and beautiful outdoors. The cut roses for the table still had rain on them, Alyssa took pictures and they were wonderfully fragrant. What a beautiful and wonderful thanksgiving dinner :)

Sunday afternoon

Grandpa and Granny are coming over for dinner, we are having a birthday celebration for big Roy and Marissa. A little late, that's because Grandpa/Dad was in North Carolina during the week of their birthdays.

Albondigas soup and chocolate cupcakes, thanksgiving is this week too!

I have a lease review to start, I am thankful for the work, this economy is the worst I've ever seen...

I am starting my professional website, I called and left a message with Rebbecca, she helped me with my Knapsack Ministries site. I haven't had time to do much with Knapsack, but Roy and I did host a table for the NAMI Arizona lunch two weeks ago. I have been able to hand out books from time to time, and I did a presentation for our Bible Study at Mayim Hayim Ministries (Barbara's home ;)

Roy is meeting with one of his professors this morning, he was accepted into the professional nursing program at ASU! We received the letter over the weekend. Alyssa left for school a bit ago, she will be gone all day.

Marissa lost her wallet over the weekend, a neighbor brought it by yesterday - found it in the street across from our house. All of her cards and receipts were still in it, including her drivers license. It was very dirty, so big Roy and I took her to the mall last night for a new wallet, we ate dinner at Miracle Mile, and we bought Alyssa Hello Kitty PJ's.

Today we will choose the next President!

Buddy is sleeping on my desk, it is late, the Presidential Election is tomorrow! and I have been at my desk far too long today. I will write later!

Today is Tuesday ;)

I am supposed to be working, but wanted to start a new online Journal. I will try to write a little each week or so.

Alyssa is home, so is Roy, I think Marissa is still at practice. I have to take Buddy to the vet, I think he is bleeding when he goes to the bathroom. He is also chewing the ribbons on Alyssa's birthday balloons.

Marissa is home, she is asking me for for help, gotta go! - Paula
