<DIV>This is kind of Drool related and I do not know if it will go through but I
wanted every one to know how Thankful I am for my Drool family.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is the stationary I did the first ever Count Your Blessing on so I
think tonight I will use it again. It is that time of year where I do Count Your
Blessing. I am doing it a little early this year as Thanksgiving week will find
me very busy.</DIV>
<DIV>This year has been very hard on me as I have gone through many trials and
tribulations. Some were not so hard to get through others it seem like it took
me months to come back from. I have had many surgeries this year as well as
spent most of my time in and out of the hospital. I am glad to report I think no
I know I am on an uphill swing from here. And for the first time in years I
finally feel human again. It is how ever taking me time to get my strength back
as I have been down for a long time.</DIV>
<DIV>The hardest thing for me to over come this year was the one that was of
betral from my sister. I can only pray for her now and hope for the best. She
has a long way to go in opening the door to letting healing in to heal a cold
and bitter heart.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And as always no matter how bad things get my sister, soul mate and friend
is always by my side. And no matter what the day brings she is always there to
greet me with a smile and encourage me to go on telling me I know you can get
through this you are strong.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Myrna who is and always will be my guiding light and Angel has watch me go
from doing good to toally bombing to the bottom. She neverhas give up on me and
never faltered in the great loving care that only she knows how to give. What a
blessing it is to know she is always there no matter what I go through.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Dr Neel my cuddle bug! Is always there to help me through all the pain I
suffer. It is always good to see him cause no matter what I am going through he
is there with a smile and great concern to try to help me over come the great
pain I feel.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Chris though things got rocky for us, for a while seems to always been
there with his wonderful way of joking and still trys ever so hard to find what
will work in the care he gives me. Gee's I have been with him for 7 years
now.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The wonderful gift of the Drool Family graced my doors this year when a
group of them all got together and send me some wonderful gifts to help brighten
up my day. I never realized that there were so many people who cared that I did
not even know. Drool people are the best.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Dear Dear Beth who is always there with her endless and boundless love.
She sent me a birthday Card on Paddie's Birthday to remind us both of what a
wonderful friend he was to many. Then through her the Easter Crew sent me a
beatiful picture with all of them on a Mothers Day Card. Thank You Beth you are
a treasure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My Mom and Dad who have been so supportive of me in all I have been through
I am blessed to have such wonderful and loving parents.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lynn what can I say You are the Best Friend anyone could ask for. When I
was at my sickest she never missed one day of calling me to say How are you I
love you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My son Mikey and Daughter Crissy, You are and shall always remain the Love
of my Life, My best Friend and my Son and Daughter. I love it when you call me
for it brighten up my day so and I love to laugh for it is a good laugh with
you. You know how and what I need when I need it. Love You both.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Easter was a big blessing for us as we were graced by six wonderful Basset
pups. They are the Grandchildern to St Paddie's Day suprize. What a joy they
have been and what a wonderful gift of Love they have given as does the The
Country Bumpkins.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To Roy Brown and Cattle Empire who were angles we never knew about till
after it was over. We had a great fire this year and this fire was huge it burn
9 600 acres of land and was a mile wide and 15 miles long. It came crashing down
on us like the furies of hell. We had no time to get all to safety. I had 5 min
to get what I could. With tear and my Heart in great hurt, I had to leave some
of the Bumpkins behind. I just could not get all of them and had no where to go
with them. It was Roy Brown who broke a fence down and who came in to fight that
fire with a loader to not only protect the Bumpkins but to protect my home as
well. That fire came with in 50 ft of taking every thing away from Charlie and
I. God does know what he is doing when he sends angels to your rescue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>To my Wonderful Husband! Who has not only been there to help guide me
through, but has been there to help me up when I fall. To his Loving ways and
gental hands. I Love you and I am so glad that we have made 27 years together.
Wow what a trip it has been for the both of us.</DIV>
<DIV>This is kind of Drool related and I do not know if it will go through but I
wanted every one to know how Thankful I am for my Drool family.</DIV>
<DIV>To my Loving and Wonderful Grand Children. They really know how to light up
a life with eyes that sparkel each time they see you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So see no matter what one has gone through there are always Count your
blessings. To the family I got to see this year at the Family Reunion. It has
been along time and it was great to not only catch up on things with you but to
also build a new friendship.</DIV>
<DIV>And last I would like to Count my Blessings to the three Great Aunts who
are treasures for they still do and they still have that Love of family and they
will and shall always remain in my heart.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Ok I got one more and what a blessing she is at 99 years old. I was able to
take a trip this summer to go see her. Sallie you are a gift from God!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Happy Thanks Giving Vi Charlie and The Country Bumpkins</DIV>
