I've definetly been visiting all my favorite blogs, just about every day, but have fallen short in posting.   I've made plans to fly out to CO for Thanksgiving, to spend several days with my daughter, Michelle!  I'm real excited about that!  But other things have been occupying my mind this week!  I so look forward to seeing her!  It's been quite a long while!  My birthday is the 25th, so my family's gift to me is the trip out to CO.   My parents are paying for my airplane ticket, and my 4 sisters and nephew, Michael, have pitched in and are helping to pay for the hotel!  What a wonderful birthday this will be!!!  They are all so very thoughtful!  Of course I've been on the phone a good bit....calling everyone of them, to thank them.  It means more to me than any of them will ever know!  Todd will be home for the holiday, probably eating over at our friend's for Thanksgiving.  This will be a special one on one time for me and Michelle.
