Comments: SNL - I've been thinking about JFK since last week & recall standing at attention in ROTC class just before it was announced. We broke formation & went to study hall. Hard to believe it's been 47 yrs. I forget about a lot more these days, but that memory will never leave me. We're heading to Starks, LA, tomorrow to spend T-day with Kathy's family. Best wishes to all for a happy & safe holiday. It'll be another good day to give thanks for all our blessings, including the many SOC friends who stay in touch & pray for each other here. Also, for remembering all our classmates whom we've lost.
Comments: This is my last day of work until Monday, taking vac tmo so can do all the prep work for Thur. Kids arrive tmo afternoon, can't wait! I think we are slipping here on the GB. Yesterday was the 47th anniversary of JFK's assassination here in Dallas . . . and not a word about it on the GB!!!  I guess everyone is preoccupied. In case I get busy & don't have ano chance to to say it . . . HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY SOC GB FRIENDS!!! May we all remember the things we have to be thankful for & enjoy the day with family & friends!!! 
Comments: Can't think of a better person to handle getting underprivileged children gifts for Christmas! Good job Rickypoo! You are an angel
Comments: Yes Sandy, every year I manage the Angel Tree for my company. It's a big job but someone has to do it. and I love it.
Comments: Charlotte - Grandone # 5 is adorable & mom & dad will have a whole new experience this time!! One dtr turning 20 next mo & then baby Darby!!! Oh my! Good news abt Don's bro James. Fri, w/help of 2 strong nurses, he walk around the bed. Sat he took 25 steps. Sun w/aid of walker, he took 85 steps!! Also all the lines have now bn removed. Won't be home for Thanksgiving, but we are all thankful for his continued recovery. Will move him later this wk to diff part of hospital, which is rehab/PT facility. Has long way to go but he will make it. Thank you dear friends for all the prayers as they are deeply appreciated!!! Linda, I know what you mean. To buy a full pantry of groceries for lots of people for 4-5 days, it's at least a 2 hr job.   Then when you get home there's the chore of finding a place to put it all & making sure you put what you will use 1st towards the front. I've got all the upstairs bdrms ready, menus made out, groceries bought. Tmo I'll PU last minute stuff like milk & bread & Wed I'm off so I can cook my desserts. It's a lot of work, but can't wait to see the little rascals on Wed evening, ...and of course their mom & dad! 
Comments: Charlotte, your grandbaby is adorable. Thanks for sharing the photo. Sounds like you have many more you need to post as well. Hey Sandy Mc, maybe Eli will be a Thanksgiving baby. Hope he comes soon. I know you are anxious to a grandma at last.
Comments: Linda, wear your glasses next time and it won't take you so long. What happened? you couldn't find your car?!? Charlotte, your grand daughter is precious. Congratulations. I didn't know you had so many grand kids. Lots of sickness! Glad to see everyone seems to be improving. Prayer continues for those mentioned. Lots to be thankful for. My daughter, Ashley, was due Nov. 7 and still has not had Eli. She was on the Elliptical when I called a few hours ago. Back to cleaning..was just taking a break.
Comments: Congratulations Charlotte on your new grandone; Darby looks like she is the apple of her father's eye. Speaking of getting ready for Thanksgiving company -- had my carpets cleaned today; tomorrow I'll be shopping for a new bedspread for my guests' bedroom. Spent 2 hours yesterday grocery shopping. The things we do to get ready for the holidays!
Comments: For those who would like to see a new P&J photo added to our collection, plse go to the Pride & Joy pg. We have a first-time submission from Carlotte Hilburn Walker.
Comments: Good reminder Rick. Many children never see any gift, much less a toy for Christmas! Are you still heavily involved w/the Angel Tree? Don't you arrange for the names of the Angels & handle most of that for your Co?
Comments: Just a reminder, every year the Salvation Army has a Angel tree set up at area malls. you adopt an angel and buy gifts for the child. Thousands of children will have no presents under the tree if we don't give of our resources (money) to help their parents provide them a merry Christmas.
Comments: Good mrng SOC Gang!! It's so pretty here, makes you glad to be alive!! TGIF!!!! Our triplets plus their 10-mo-old sis will be arriving Wed, along w/their parents! What a great Thanksgiving weekend!!! I'm taking Wed as vac day so can get my pies made & things ready for everyone. As long as it doesn't rain we'll be fine. We go to the park, play ball & other outdoor activities. If it rains . . . we're screwed!!   When I turn my pc off Tue evening I won't be back on it much while they're all here, so if it's important . . . call me!.
Comments: TNX Susan!!! All the kidos arrive w/Mom & Dad on Wed. Will be 1st time to see their new rooms all fixed up w/beds, comforters & matching curtains!! I know they will love it!
