I was wondering the other day what it would be like if the kids had not moved close to us? Would the girls know us as well? Like us as well as they seem? Where would be spending Christmas this year? I know it does not good to ponder these things too long, but I did think about them and it brought me to thankfulness.
I am thankful that the kids did move close. I am thankful that the girls love to sit in the Pops lap and let him read them books. I am thankful that those little arms reach around my neck and hold me tight and say, "I miss you grandma!" I am thankful that Emma calls me grandma sometimes and Piggy sometimes. It is fun to hear either way!
I am thankful that Thanksgiving was so much fun and every one seemed to enjoy themselves. I am thankful that Thanksgiving gives way to promise of more fun times.
What are we doing Christmas? I have no idea. I did decorate and I am ready for whatever happens. We will be home, maybe by ourselves or maybe with the kids. Who knows? It doesn't really matter. We will be thankful for whatever happens and life will continue and we will look toward the promise of tomorrow's joys.

Good to hear from you "L."
Mindy is doing well. Actually, she is doing great. She is moving in January to Kansas City, Missouri to do her internship. She graduates in May with her masters in Social Work. In Kansas City, she will be working with Operation Breakthrough.
I am going the 13th to help her move all her stuff home. She is only taking clothes with her to Missouri because she will be living with an aunt of her boyfriend. She is going to spend Christmas there as well. So, yes, she is doing well.
Good to hear from you and hope your family is doing well.
Peggy
