Good morning...actually pretty late morning for me to be blogging. We were up till midnight last night packing for shipping. I then was reading one of the Oprah books. More on that on another blog when it is not Mon or Tues and I am split ten directions. This is one of the times I need to take a meditating moment.

I am BEHIND on painting. But errands must occur today first. FEDEX and a trip to Justin TX to pick up some stuff we left behind.

The other book I have been reading is entitled HELP, LORD! I'M HAVING A SENIOR MOMENT by Karen OConnor. Terry and I laugh every night when I read the next story. Maybe I can share a few with you.

"Dear God,
I like this one! An older man from Phoenix phoned his son in New York with some bad news. "Son, I don't mean to ruin your day, but I need to tell you something important. Your mother and I are divorcing. Forty five years of misery is enough for both of us."

"Dad, do you realize what you're saying? You can't be serious," the son pleaded.

"It's true. We Can't take another moment of being together. I don't want to discuss it any further. It's settled. Call your sister in Chicago and let her know." The old man hung up.

Frantic the son called his sister, who exploded on the phone. "Like Heck they're getting divorced," she shouted, "Sit tight. I'll handle this."

She called her father in Phoenix and yelled into the phone. "You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling Dick back and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, stay put," she shouted. "DO YOU HEAR ME?" Then she hung up.

The older man put down the phone and turned to his wife, a wry smile crossing his face as he spoke. "Okay" he said, "They're coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own fares. Now what do we tell them for Christmas?"

Lord, you remind us in your word: "Listen to your father, who gave you life and do not despise your mother when she is old". Proverbs 23:22.

Surely your wisdom and the parents' good humor will knit their hearts together.

Smiles,
Laurie

Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
