~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Today I'm off to an early Senior Citizen group meeting and Thanksgiving dinner with my sister Phyllis. As much as I love the Thanksgiving holiday I'm really not liking the food putting weight on my body this month. I've been so careful and have lost over 10 pounds. I will watch myself for sure. :) .Until next time my friends have a day of blessings.
