Time to get ready for the holidays. No matter how 2007 may have treated me, when it's Christmastime, all memories of the struggles in the past year are forgotten. Who doesn't love Christmas?

I kept four grandchildren for 2 1/2 days while their Mom was in the hospital. All in all it turned out well .. I survived. Anita The rest of my week was spent raking and bagging leaves. At my last doctor's appointment I was told again to get more exercise. Well what he said was to go to a gym and workout. Since I couldn't see me in the "garb" they wear with a sweatband around my head, I decided to go back to yard work. I had a yardman for months while I was trying to regain my prior energy after contracting a thyroid problem. Happy to say my energy is back. I went out yesterday to start my riding mower to cut the leaves up and blow them in a pile that would be fast and easy to rake. It wouldn't start.. battery was dead. One thing I have learned since I lost my husband is just ask everybody and eventually someone will help. My neighbor charged the battery for me and all was well again.

I rode around Pascagoula today and things are looking much better. I have these flashbacks where I see the debris that was scattered everywhere. All that is gone and we are working on making a nice community again. We are hindered though as I suppose everyone is around the country. The cost of food, gasoline and insurance is staggering. I received my home insurance bill today and they went up $1149.00 more on the year. Same with auto insurance. Was paying $383 every 6 months .. now it is $650 every six months. Something has to give!

Think of my frustration as I watch the New Orleans Saints once again play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They lost the last game against them but maybe a miracle will happen and they will win this one.

But after a 35 year political career filled with tremendous highs and some unfortunate lows, he realized it was time to call it quits. So Monday, the Mississippi senator came home to Pascagoula and told his friends he was retiring."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU!

When Katrina struck the coast of Mississippi in 2005, time seemed to have stopped for all of us on the coast. I can only speak for myself and tell you that although there are problems, I have found a way to live with them. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have many things to be thankful for. I also know that in my blog that I could play a game with my readers and pretend to be something I am not. BUT I don't! In my life, I have been a wife, a mother, a business woman. Someday, these things will be a legacy for my daughters when they speak of me. Of all that I have accomplished, I am most proud of the fact that I am the grandmother of 9 grandsons and 4 granddaughters. The ninth grandson is scheduled to be born the day after Thanksgiving. The titles that they have given me are Nana, Grand-Mommy, Grandma and Grammy. I am honored.

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
