Hi Mom, Thanksgiving is really sneaking up on us. It is going to be soooo hard without you here! I've already told Dale and Beanie there is no way I am going over to her families side for Thanksgiving. Debbie is going to need help and I just feel your house for the whole day is where I need to be. I'll help her Mom, we will make sure a nice Thanksgiving meal is fixed. As usual though, we won't know for sure how many to expect, but like you always did...we'll just fix plenty of food so we don't have to worry about it. I'll make J's pumpkin pie...I'll also make a couple loaves of bread, but I am using your bread pans. Last time I used my glass one...what a mess! It stuck, the bread fell...we had to peel it out. It was definitely not something that would have happened if you were fixing it. It snowed yesterday, of course it didn't stay on the ground long, but still we got that nasty cold white stuff! I am so not looking forward to winter! Remember how we'd complain together about winter? Neither of us liked it. We'd always keep track of the snow storms. It was nice for you though when we did get bad weather at least you didn't have to drive over here in it. That was one thing about winter you didn't like! Bryson said 'nama' this morning and brought me the phone and your poem. He wanted to call you! My heart broke and big tears came to my eyes. I am so glad he still thinks of you but when he brought me the phone...that was hard. How I wish so bad I could have just dialed a number and heard your voice on the other end! At least I dream about you. Seeing you and hearing your beautiful healthy voice in my dreams is priceless! Well Mom, Bryson is sleeping and I have no kids today, so I better get busy and get something done around here. I miss you so much!! ((((HUGS))))) *****KISSES****** PS. I got Bryson's carseat last night!
