Thanksgiving 2014

After a couple of years of not participating to family gatherings, we decided to go this time.  My husband  did not want to go but I told him that we don't know how long  Dad will still be around and also for the children sake, we need to just deal with  whatever  made us stayed away. 

 We got to patch up things with the rest of the family.  It's been really hard for me that we did not communicate with  some of the family members because they are my only family here and I feel alone that we don't get to spend time with them.

 I asked these guys to smile and they made these faces lol.

 My sister-in-law Jill is doing  okay  now  despite the   chemo that she has been getting.

 Dad was a little drunk when we got there but he is doing mighty fine for his age.

 The siblings, Chris, Rick, and John.

  I am glad that  we did because the kids had so much fun.  I hope that this could be the start of a smooth relationship between the families again.  

Rainy Thanksgiving

Good morning everyone, just a quick update here. I am doing some lumpia to bring to my FIL's home. We will be celebrating Thanksgiving there. Hubby checked the weather online and it's going to be a rainy Thanksgiving. Oh well, it's thanksgiving so we can't really complain lol..

These photos were taken a couple of days ago when we went to visit Dad.

It's been gloomy this week and today the rain will pour.  Well, it's actually pouring now.  

Enjoy the rest of the day folks and thanks for visiting.

Happy Thanksgiving to US residents and have a nice day to all!

I am Blessed

I am BleSSed because ... 

I am breathing right now, 

I can hear the birds chirping, 

I can see the butterflies dancing, 

and I am capable to express my feelings in blogging... 

  I am BleSSed because... 

I have food to eat everyday, 

I have water to drink, 

I have clothes to wear, 

and I have a bed to sleep with when I want to rest... 

  I am BleSSed because... 

I have friends to talk to, 

I have a family who loves me, 

I have a kind-hearted-loving in-laws, 

and I have the best honey and cuties in the world! 

  And for these BleSSings...

I thank the Lord for loving me 

I thank HIM for forgiving my sins, 

I thank HIM for giving me strength everyday, 

And above all, I thank HIM for giving me LIFE!
