Thanksgiving Week begins

What a wonderful time of year.  I am so grateful for friends and family.  I am glad that the media leaves this Holiday alone.  That way we can enjoy it more.  Christmas is itching to start but I'm glad I have this week first.

The Halloween costume

Oh.....to be a Geisha is so complicated.  

1.  Buy white paint.  This sounds easy.  I bought Moonlight               white paint and ended up looking like a baby blue                   smurf. 

2.  Take blue face paint off.

3.  Makeup and costume.

4.  The accent.  I served a spanish speaking mission.  Therefore the only foreign language I know is spanish.  Each time I began to speak with a chinese accent, I would end up slipping in spanish words as they would come to mind.

5.  Have fun being in disguise at the Halloween dance.

Life is Open - one of my new favorite quotes :)

Isn't it wonderful to know that life's opportunities are never-ending.  Everyday you can find the simple joys in life.  Today an old friend from Tennessee came to visit and we just thought back on the friends we've known and old memories.  The one thing that remains constant is change ... and I'm grateful for it.
