...November is the month when the autumn cold really begins to set in...
...It is chilly evenings and bright, crisp days dotted with a few snippets of Indian Summer.
...It's the changing between warm, crimson October and cold, white December...

...May your cup runneth over with blessings this month...

...Today as I sit pondering my list of things I am THANKful for, I find that at the top of my list is my granddaughters....my bunny princess and two lil' June bugs...
...I couldn't be prouder of them or happier to be their nonni...
...I am THANKful that God has blessed me to be a mother of two wonderful daughters and now a nonni to three beautiful granddaughters...and a wife to an awesome, caring husband...

November 4th...
...the dictionary definition of "bedlam,"... a place, scene or state of uproar and confusion...
~
...Not only was it one of the biggest football days of the year, but also Paul's birthday...
...he is calmly waiting for the start of the game and sporting his new cap the girls gave him for his big day...not OSU, but just Stillwater....
...I liked it...
Of course, the girls are always supporting their alma mater, OU....
...Boomer Sooner!...
...following in their momma's footsteps...
...but, I must say, my girls are sweet about the rivalry...
...Paul attended OSU and is a die hard Pokes fan along w/ their dad, who was an OSU grad and also a die hard fan...
...and in return, Paul has always been supportive of our standing w/ OU...
...now, that is called love and sharing RESPECT!...

...Once again "Bedlam" lived up to its name... a scene of uproar...
...it was a nail biter game led by "Magic Mayfield", Sooner #6...
...a back n' forth game but in the end...OU won and that was a big BOOMER!...
...62-52...

Father, Thank you for your great love and care. Forgive us for when we don't thank you enough,
for who you are, for all that you do, for all that you have given. Help us to keep our eyes and hearts set on you. Father, teach us the power of a thankful heart. We love you and need you, this day and every day....Amen
