Happy Thanksgiving!

Cathy Mahady on Nov 27th 2008

A Thanksgiving Day Prayer
Author Unknown
Lord,
We humbly ask Thy blessing
on the turkey and the dressing,
on the yams and cranberry jelly,
and the pickles from the deli.
Bless the apple pie and tea,
bless each and every calorie.
Let us enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.
Tomorrow we can all get thinner.

Dream Killer

Cathy Mahady on Nov 6th 2008

Dreams are just that, dreams, if they stay in your head. Part of making dreams come true is making them real [...]
