    Hello on the mountain, it is so cold here today that I have had goosebumps all day except when bundled up in the down comforter.  Just can't bring myself to turn on the heat yet and cause the electric bill to go up.

    Love hot cider, i may have a cup tonight.

    What kind of soup footie, at lunch I had mushroom soup and it was wonderful.  I have been hungry for a beef stew with everything in it.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful night

    hi mountaineers, I am hanging in there, thanks for asking Footie and thank you for your prayers.  I need all of those I can get.  It is getting very frustrating laying here but I am blessed to have the laptop and crafts to do and people to fix my meals so it will all be ok.  Praying the next tests and x-rays reveal it is healed.  Have a bone density test to be done after.

    Wishing all a happy thanksgiving, lots of family food, fun, love, laughter and sports.

    I feel like going horseback riding today (in my head of course)  I don't like to trot but I love to lope, there is such a feeling of being one running through the fields, of course I like walking down trails with beautiful scenery also.

    my friend is riding this proud palamino, beautiful spirited horse

    There we all go we had a blast.  We are going to stop and visit an Indian village and pow wow also.

    It has been an amazing day.  I have been to real pow wows and the dancers are amazing.  I love when the women get in a circle and do that dance with the shawls.

    Cherokee Legend


    Do you  know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of  Passage?

    His father takes him into  the forest, blindfolds him an leaves him alone.  He is  required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the  blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it.  He cannot  cry out for help to anyone.  

    fatherson.jpg father son picture by spark56_photo

    Once he survives the  night, he is a MAN.

    He cannot tell the other boys of this  experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his  own.

    The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of  noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him . Maybe even some  human might do him
    harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and  shook his stump, but he sat     stoically, never removing the  blindfold. It would be the only way he could  become a man!
    Finally,  after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his      blindfold.

    It was then that he  discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.   
    He had been at watch the  entire night, protecting his son from harm.

    We, too, are never alone.    
    Even when we don't  know it, God is watching over  us, Sitting on the stump  beside us.  
    When trouble comes, all  we have to do   is reach out to Him.



    Moral of the  story:
    Just because you  can't see God,
    Doesn't mean He is not there.
    "For we walk by  faith, not by  sight."

    Would love to have a smore and rest on the mountain for a while.  It has been a good day with lots of good food but kind of a sad day too because it is my first Thanksgiving without my son and grandson here.  I missed them a lot.  They both texted and said happy thanksgiving but I would have loved to get a big hug and I love you mom.

    Footie sending you big hugs

    Estepp and Deb, hope you all had wonderful thanksgiving days

    Sierra missing you and hope you post your words soon.

    Sorry to hear that your Son and Grandson couldn't be there, my aunt, uncle and cousin could not make it because my cousin came down with a bad cold.  So instead of 10 of us there was 7.

    I hope everything was good.

    Yep, it was all good and just finished a plate of leftover and DH cooked turkey noodle soup also for tonight.

    Hi kjbell, thank you so much and you are so welcome here.  I appreciate you letting me know you enjoy it.  Hey Deb that is a pretty cool welcome sign.  Love it

    Footie, sorry you had hospital food, praying you are better now. Did you know they make smore pop tarts now?  Not near as good as a real smore but not bad.

    I didn't get birthday cake today but got a movie and hot carmel sundae which was wonderful and a real splurgh for a diabetic.  Told my husband give me some ham to balance it out with protein. LOL

    Most of our trees in the back yard are still autumn colors and very beautiful.  Think I will post some autumn pictures.
