Nashville ......not

We aren't going to Nashville to shop this year. However,Debbie will be coming up (Deb, think you can drag Mel up, and Heather if she is really good and gets her work done.) Then we will go on the Christmas house tour on Sunday.

Anna was going to take a day off when we were going to Nashville, I will have to see if she can make it up.

Hotel Status

What's the status of getting hotel reservations for Jim and Alana's wedding? Can I still get one in the same hotel as everyone else? Plus I can't remember where the information for the hotel is so can some one give me the name and number again...please.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF

Happy Birthday today Jeff. Hope you are having a good day. Guess you and Melissa will be celebrating later today. So hope you will have a happy one. Granny Pat and Grampaul

GREAT NEWS

I just finished reading the stories on Lexie and Jake from the link that Debbie inserted and it was an amazing article. I almost cried several times. So please everyone, read this link. And Heather, Rob, Haley and Will keep up the good work and you'll soon have Jake back home with you. We will keep on praying for his quick recovery.

Healing...but still needing prayers.

By now I know you all have heard of our mourning for Lexie and the struggles of Jake to overcome his injuries. If you want to read the full story it was written up at http://katandgray.blogspot.com/ For those of you on facebook they have started a Prayers for Jake page that if you "LIKE" it you can get the current updates and pictures.

For Granny Pat and GramPaul:  I know you called and got an update from Tom yesterday. Here are a couple of post from last night

Prayers for Jake  In case you didn't hear yet, JAKE IS EATING! Rob is up there now with him and he ate half a cup of kibble! this is HUGE and another major prayer answered! And look at this sweet boy with his tennis ball - his daddy and his tennis ball - this boy is HAPPY!!



Prayers for Jake Got home a few minutes ago from seeing Jake. Sunday night, I wasnt sure he would make it through the night, and tonight he was a happy as he always is with a giant smile on his face. Poor guy is probably missing half his teeth, but he managed to eat a little for the first time, and hold a tennis ball in his mouth. I... could tell the tennis ball was a little uncomfortable because he couldnt hold onto it for too long, but Jake's favorite toy has always been a tennis ball, so I could tell it made him happy. Jake sees the neuro surgeon tomorrow, so I am praying for good news, but I have a peace about it. So many thanks for all the prayers.

Don't know if you can get to the link of the video Jake and the tennis ball if you do click on the video and it should play for you.

He sees a neuro surgeon today. Praying that they can get his back legs working again.

Gotta start working. Will has a Thanksgiving program today so I need to do some work before I go to it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKEY

Happy Birthday Mikey. Hope you don't mind me still calling you Mikey instead of Mike. Anyway hope you have a very happy birthday tomorrow. Although I hear you had a good one already. Love ya, Granny Pat & Grampaul

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREW

Happy Birthday Drew. Hope your day is a good one, as I'm sure it will be with Jess and the boys to help you celebrate. Again Happy Birthday, Love you much, Granny Pat and Grampaul

A couple of sites

We are doing every thing we can to find Jake and Lexie. Here a couple of links one to a story and another to their website. Please leave comments on the website to generate more exposure.

Please keep praying that someone finds them and helps them home.

okay...send prayers this way

Been an interesting couple of days. Lexie and Jake have gone missing. We really could use prayers from all over that they make their way home. We just got a little bit of good news...they were seen last night after work at the gas station at the corner of Morgan Rd and Shades Crest. That is exactly half way between our house and Heathers. The last we had heard before that was noon across South Shades Crest at the apartments by Heather and Robs. I know you can't come help search...but prayers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Then just got a call from Tom's sister. Sounds like Tom's dad is going in for a brain scan tomorrow to look for a brain tumor. He's been having headaches and I'm not sure of all the other symptoms but they haven't been able to find anything. Been going on for quite a while now. So hoping and praying everything turns out okay and they find something simple.

Saturday lunch November 13

The Spaghetti Shop was drawn this time

Happy 25th to Mom and Paul!!!

WOW! I just did the math! Twenty-five years ago we were all so happy that you guys had found each other. Paul, we thought you would be good for Mom (it looks like we were right) and Mom, I've always thought you to be good for everyone. (How can you not love her?) It's a blessing to have someone you love to share your life! Alan keeps throwing in wisecracks, but I'm leaving those out! We wish you many more years of wedded bliss!

Ob La Di, Ob La Da. Life Goes On.

Nothing new with me. School on Monday and Wednesday night. Managerial Accounting. Pretty simple but I do have to do the homework.

My Flamenco classes are done. It was just a 4 week class. I love Groupon's. I got a group of 8 from work to sign-up and it ended up just being me and Delonda the last two classes. But we enjoyed it. I would like to do it again. It is a nice workout and it may teach me some rhythm. I can't move the feet and the hands at the same time.

Rosie's son Jim got out of the hospital yesterday. Don't know if I told anyone that they removed 3 of the tumors, but the 4th one was attached to the pelvic bone and they said it was more risky to remove it because it was in a good place for radiation. Next step is to get the immune system back up so he can start the chemo and radiation. Right now he is just enjoying being home with Jen and Jackson.

Nothing new with John and Anna. At least not that they've told me.

ABOUT ME

Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally am able to quite going to hosp. for tests as of Wednesday. Third time charmed as they say. Doctor drained the cyst and said everything was o.k. Thursday I got the upper teeth that had come out on the right side while eating dumplings at Beths at lunch about 3 weeks ago finally replaced. Had to go back this morning an have them try to shave off some as it was hitting bone and I couldn't stand it. I can't talk to good yet, and feel like I have a mouth full of hard plastic as this thing goes completely around the back of my top teeth as there was nothing to support the new ones. My tongue doesn't know where its suppose to to. Therefore the problem with talking. Some of you will probably be glad of that. But just wait, I'll get use to it.

Saturday lunch

I went ahead and had David draw for Saturday lunch November 6th, and he drew Five Guy's

New Beginning

Well if some of you didn't know finally got my departure date, December 31st. I guess I'll start the New year with a new beginning. School's not to bad yet. Have a 4.0 but I only completed the summer term so far. Did have a short week class I had to take don't have that grade yet. Math isn't to bad, actually getting it. My Word 2007 MidTerm gave me some problems, so I have to do a lot better on the final. My spring classes start back up in January with Medical Terminology and Administrative I and II, the Terminology class is on-line the other two or back to back on Monday and Wednesday,
May have something lined up job wise, but won't know until a little later. Once everything is final I will let you know. Something will work out, I want to complete school no matter what and get my Certificate, I should be able to finish by either fall 2011 or the spring of 2012,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS

Happy Birthday Chris, hope you have a wonderful birthday. Paul says to behave yourself, but only if you want to. Love you, Pat & Paul

Sam & Emmett

Sam's a spider & Emmett's a dragon - and neither were real happy that mom & dad ate all their candy for them!

Trick or Treat

Thought I'd get a picture out there. So anyone else dress up? Trick or Treaters was really down this year. I had about 5 groups on Saturday night and a few more on Sunday. Lots of candy left over. Nothing like when we first moved here. But then there are few people on my street any more that even turn their lights on. Haley being the Corpse Bride and Will a skeleton.

Both kids are wrapping up soccer. Haley was asked to play for the Junior Phantoms (which just gives her more practices and a tournament to play in) so she still has more to do. Will is going to be trying his hand at basketball. I don't have any details on it yet. I love going to their soccer games, so I'm glad I will have basketball now to go to. I hope to see you all soon. Happy Holidays....less than 8 weeks to Christmas!
