November 27, 2007: Kirkland Lake…
Hope you are enjoying your snow up there! I am looking forward to seeing some snow myself around the Great Lakes in the coming days and weeks! Sorry about not returning your email but the night you sent the email I lost all of my inbox contents! So if you would send me another email I will put you in my address book!
Enjoy the holidays and I understand that you are feeling much better! Glad to hear that.

I believe I am more aware now…
than ever before
I believe there is more out there…
and I will find it.
I believe you can not have it…
unless you give it.
I believe you can’t hear…
until you listen
You can not see it…
until you believe in it.
Sometimes you have to take all of the clay and put it back in the bowl.

November 24, 2007: Brrrr…it is cold outside!
OK, I think I am going to have to break down and have the heat turned on here. It is COLD this morning. The space heater is just not getting it. Sooooo I guess the gas company is coming on Monday! :) Will make things a bit warmer. It wasn’t this cold last week. Brrrrr…there were even a few snowflakes around over the last 24 hours. Flurries.
Our family is having Thanksgiving this afternoon. We are meeting at Olive Garden. :) I think that sounds familiar. We may go see a movie after we eat. Tony and I also have to go measure some rooms in the Ashcreek House.
I am headed for Canada later this week and will be gone awhile. I will be back for Christmas though. That isn’t that far off either. A few more weeks and Santa will be knocking at the chimney. Assuming he can get through U.S. security - which isn’t a given anymore. lol
Otherwise all is well. Kristy called and she is doing OK down in WARM Florida. I am sure she is missing the cold weather of BIrmingham. Not.
We did NOT go to Sam’s Club yesterday. They had a limit of one WII. So that sort of took the wind out of that balloon. 
So anyway…I have been up and down the last few days. I think the holidays will do that to a person. I can’t ever put my finger on what causes those feelings. I think the holidays are just an emotional time all the way around. You miss people that are not here anymore. You want to be around those who are here! Lots of people shopping…lot of moody music…and well just the whole atmosphere.
There have been so many changes the last few weeks. All good changes. Don’t get me wrong. Changes those can be stressful. They say that moving is one of the top three most stressful things you can do. I would believe that…I seem to have fun with it though. It is something that I look at as a mission of sorts. I am on a mission to find my view - somewhere out there. I know it is out there. I will find it. :) Then I will enjoy the sunsets again. Somehow I have a feeling that there could be a few weeks of sunset photos at the start. lol
I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday weekend!!!!! I am sure there is still a lot of food to be eaten.

November 22, 2007: Union City, Tennessee
Well I can now say that I have been to Union City, Tennessee. I have never been there before! Mother and I drove down to Tommy’s parents and spent the afternoon. We had a great turkey dinner! Lots and lots of food. I think everyone had a great time! We got back about the time it got dark outside. I guess the ladies are going shopping tomorrow. I will be in bed!
Saturday we are all getting together and meeting at Olive Garden. Perhaps a movie afterwards.

November 20, 2007: Thanksgiving is coming!
OK, I hope everyone has their turkey bought by now? Heating the over? Getting ready to make pies? Of course none of the above applies to me. I am not a chef you know! I am sure I will have plenty of turkey though. Mother and I are heading down to Union City, Tennessee to be with Tommy’s family. I have never been there so it should be fun.
The weather has turned cloudy. No snow though. Rain and storms are on tap for Wednesday. A few strong storms can’t be ruled out.
So Tony and I were talking and we realized that Nintendo Wii’s are selling for nearly $600 on Ebay! So we are going to try and buy some from Sam’s Club on Friday Morning at 5 a.m. They are impossible to get around this area. SOOOOO we will stand in line - hopefully the front of the line - and grab a few. If we are lucky we can grab a bunch. We will then sell them on E-bay! So stay tuned to see how this turns out.
Had a nice lunch with Sue on Monday. We went to the Olive Garden. It was nice to catch up on the latest and greatest news.
Everything is going well here in Mayfield. We are slowly starting to get used to living in the apartment. Daisy has adjusted. She isn’t complaining at least. We probably won’t go back out and look at property until 2008. That isn’t that far off! Ashcreek should be up on the market in a couple of weeks. Hopefully no later than that.
