Another Thanksgiving post

I know everyone has been posting about Thanksgiving, but now it's my turn!

We celebrated with family, as many people did. I love this photo because it shows four generations of our family:
Right to Left:
1st Generation:
Mawmaw was able to attend with her husband and really enjoyed the day. Although she hadn't felt well all month, special effort was expended to join us. I am thankful for that.

2nd Generation:
Next is me. I was happy to be with my family on Thanksgiving and always enjoy the feasting. I'm thankful that God has allowed our family to remain close, healthy, and happy.

3rd Generation:Next is daughter-in-law, KarenD. She hosted this year and did a wonderful job. She always makes everyone feel welcome and even included a family friend who was alone for the holiday as our dinner guest.

3rd Generation: Next is daughter, LydiaN. She and her husbend spent the day with us also. She always adds fun and laughter to our celebrations as well as her expertise as photographer. It's always a joy to have her around.

4th Generation:
Baby Ian!! We can't see his dear features yet, but we felt his movements inside his mommy's tummy. We can't wait till he makes his appearance in late February so we had hold him and love on him. I patted him and told him to hurry up 'cause Grandma was ready for him! :)

I am thankful for my family and grateful to God for His wonderful blessings to all our generations.

Special Lunch

On Sunday, I and six other Arbonne consultants from our Region went to Dallas to have lunch with Stacy Thorn, Executive National Vice President. Stacy lives outside of Tulsa and has been with Arbonne 10 years. The first four she spent as a District Manager, then decided to get serious about building her business. Since then, she has steadily grown her company...and now makes almost $80,000 per MONTH!

Yes, network marketing can do that. It is hard work in the beginning, but pays off BIG in the long run. I am excited about the possibilities that anyone can do this!

Someday I will meet up with Stacy again...at a VP dinner! I appreciate all referrals from my dear readers and will travel to do presentations anywhere.

Kudos to Hubby

First of all, let me say that my hubby has done it again! He has spent the weekend creating another sitting area in our backyard and did an excellent job. I went to two stores to get the decorative items, and we'll add more as the seasons change.

This will give us a stopping place halfway down the hill to the bottom of the yard. We are going to move the chimenea down there to get it out from under the wisteria that now grows completely over the pergola.


I know we will enjoy this new spot very much. Thanks to the hub!
