Update for 11-20-06

I still have no voice, but I started on an antibiotic today so hopefully I will be able to talk when everyone comes in for Thanksgiving. Heard of a neat idea on WMBI midday connection of something to do with old pictures you never got around to putting in albums. Don't we all have those? They suggested making a photo montage and pasting them together. So that is our family project for Friday daytime. Our whole family will be in for Thanksgiving so there will be 17 of us at Kevin and Tracy's house on Thursday. Friday we will do the picture pasting during the day and Friday night we have a huge pizza party with our extended family at my niece Carrie's house. I can't guess how many will be there but probably over 60. Saturday we have our traditional Mother-daughter lunch with all the women and girls over 7. The boys are on their own and their plans are not set yet. Saturday night will find the 17 of us back at Kev's for the evening and then everyone heads home on Sunday. Michael , Heidi and kids will be driving from Ohio and Karen will be flying in from Az. We don't get everyone together that easy so this will be a special time with lots of laughs. Joe continues to do well. Today was a hard day saying goodbye to Rick Mlady and hoping we won't be in that situation for a long time. We know God still has a lot for us to do. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone and thanks so much for the prayer support. We love you all and remember all you who are praying for us. Mary Anne
