I am most thankful that you are improving even if not at 100% and my prayer is that this New Year brings you a miracle. <BR/><BR/>We had an interesting week in Utah--Chase's appenix ruptured! Ya the great mother that I am assumed he had the stomach flu and had him just wait out the vomiting for about 36 hours before realizing "this may not be the flu?!" So we went to ER and it had already ruptured and he was SUPER sick. So that happened Tuesday and we just brought him home today:) Kelsey, Tim and Carrie flew in and we had fun together. Everyone said to tell you hello and they hope you feel better soon! Chase seems to be feeling better too considering. Well Happy Thanksgiving!!!! BIG HUG!!

To make sure there won’t be any problems, they will drive a Toyota.<BR/><BR/>The economy is so bad, the White House turkey turned down the pardon. He says he lost all his money in the stock market and has nothing left to live for.<BR/><BR/>Top Ten Signs President Bush Doesn't Care Anymore<BR/><BR/>10. Hasn't taken off his Iron Man costume since Halloween<BR/>9. The menu for the White House Thanksgiving dinner? Corn dogs and Beefaroni<BR/>8. Drew a picture of Garfield on Dick Cheney's bald head<BR/>7. He's barely trying to ruin the economy anymore<BR/>6. Spent the entire weekend in the Oval Office pardoning himself<BR/>5. Saw Osama at Arby's drive-thru but didn't feel like chasing him<BR/>4. Spends Cabinet meetings scanning classifieds for next job<BR/>3. Primary focus is surpassing Hank Paulson's high score on "Guitar Hero"<BR/>2. Asking Obama, "How soon can you bail me out of the White House?"<BR/>1. Started dating hefty interns<BR/><BR/>Obama got $800 billion to rescue the economy. All I can say is, Thank you, Oprah.<BR/><BR/>During the transition, President Bush is busy granting pardons. Today he pardoned Sarah Palin for her interview with Katie Couric.<BR/><BR/>In a speech this morning, Barack Obama said, “This isn’t about big government or small government. It’s about building a smarter government.” When he heard this, President Bush said, “I get it, I get it. I’m leaving.”<BR/><BR/>Earlier today, John McCain gave his first press conference since the election, and he said that for a lot of people, Sarah Palin was an energizing factor during the campaign. Unfortunately for McCain those people are called Democrats.<BR/><BR/>A new study has found that the Ford Motor Company makes the cars with the highest safety ratings. Apparently Ford cars are so safe because they never leave the dealer’s lot.<BR/><BR/>Sarah Palin is back on the campaign trail. She’s going to go to the Senate runoff election down in Georgia. As soon as she finds out where Georgia is, she’s going right down there . . .<BR/><BR/>Somali pirates have captured another ship. Interestingly, al-Qaida has declared war on the pirates — it’s like evil versus evil. It’s like Dick Cheney versus his lawyer.Steve Beaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272168897751601929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114788379158236205.post-54275211201788686592008-11-28T12:45:00.000-08:002008-11-28T12:45:00.000-08:00Elyse:Just a catch up email.

Apparently Fallon is known for two Navy bombing ranges, 3 legal whore houses, Mormon polygamists (take heed John), and a cow chip throwing contest. Should be quite a class. I'm signed up for meal duty in mid-December. I will try and come up with the most fattening think I can. I made my first home made Alfredo sauce as part of a shrimp and crab lasagna this week. If that sounds appealing I may try that.<BR/><BR/>Our thankfullness starts with the fact that each day we have woken up. It is all gravy above that.<BR/><BR/>Love to all.<BR/><BR/>Joe RosenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114788379158236205.post-82914052261028796512008-11-28T06:44:00.000-08:002008-11-28T06:44:00.000-08:00We hope you a FEAST-filled Thanksgiving.

Hope you will enjoy Thanksgiving and spend it with those you love. One of my son's friends tried to kill herself this week- young, pretty, healthy- it just does not make sense. The old saying "Youth is wasted on the young" rings true. Let us all be thankful for the precious life that we have, good times and bad.

I would feel thankful and blessed if my two most important prayers are answered--those prayers that ask for your speedy recovery and your well being. I will now add to those prayers that you will feel few side effects and have minimal to no problems during your chemo and recovery. Just want to let you know that you are loved all day, every day. I know the road to recovery seems long, but I feel so strongly that you will win in the end.<BR/><BR/>Joyce Denys<BR/>Joyce DenysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114788379158236205.post-41681026905361116012008-11-23T15:22:00.000-08:002008-11-23T15:22:00.000-08:00Thinking of you this weekend and figuring that bet...Thinking of you this weekend and figuring that between everyone in our family being sick and your being fresh off the latest treatment regime, that a visit with us was not such a good idea. <BR/><BR/>We have had a lazy day - nothing productive done - just napping, reading, drawing, pillow fights, hide and seek, and occasional fighting. Pretty nice.<BR/><BR/>Glad to know that you are looking so great (and am sure it is not just in comparison!), but wishing you were feeling as great. <BR/><BR/>Hope you mustered up the strength for that warm bath. <BR/><BR/>Sending Love, Michelle N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
