I just figured in Rae typical humor style she was going to type Kaffy, blending Karen and Saffy...... but then, maybe she will let us know.

Thank you so much Karen for your greeting and hopes for our holiday. In our household, we are off to a wonderful start giving Thanks as we began at church last evening doing just that! It was beautiful.

Pie production is in full swing. The turkey in the oven. I am about to go prepare potatoes for the gravy that is also well underway.

Yum,

One day early on after 9/11 in an airport security line when the TSA asked an apparent middle eastern individual in ethnic appropriate garb to remove the belt from his waist so it could go via Xray. He did. You depicted the result. I felt embarrassed for him, but gotta admit in retrospect, it was a bit funny too!

Thank you both Karen and Rae for a momentary humorous smile today!

Well I was here for a few moments Thanksgiving Day and know I intended to wish all well - but I guess I didn't. The mind is INDEED a terrible thing to waste (on all these pain meds!!)

I do wish you all a great Thanksgiving - may you be so busy reciting all your blessings that your food gets cold! Now wouldn't that be wonderful?!

I'm hoping to be where some of you sit next Thanksgiving - with the table of those that SCS helped! And have a much improved life because of it! Oh how I want to be at that table!

Regardless, I do have much to be thankful for: the Lord in my life, food to eat (plentiful!), roof over our heads (a nice home, that is wheelchair accessible and decorated so beautifully!), a great husband, who helps me so much!, that he has a GOOD job, for good friends, family, TWO WONDERFUL GRANDCHILDREN that I hope to see 3-4 times next year (yeah!), good medical care, and hope - SO thankful for hope - that things will get better, and prayer: that God will hear my pleas and grant me pain relief!

I pray you all will have too many blessings to even type them out! I know I am so blessed - there are many people in this world that don't have food, shelter, medical care - that something like a spinal cord stimulator - they wouldn't even know such a thing existed. Yes, I am blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving! Now we're off to my favorite tine of the year - Christmas!

[Mark56]

We all are grateful for your Thanksgiving blessings, and pray you too, will join the SCS club this coming year so you may more wonderfully enjoy the seasons of life and all they have to offer!

Merry Christmas,
Mark56
