I have coasted into a blog stop, the next blog is still green and won't ripen before at least Dec 3, 07. Hopefully I'll be able to share it's succulant flavors with you then.

Meanwhile, I'll keep coaxing my treadmill powered scooter uphill!

Dear God, with thankful hearts and somewhat puzzled minds we take time this Thanksgiving day to celebrate. Our hearts are thankful for all the joys and opportunities within our reach, for all the blessings at our fingertips and for all those concerned about our well being and are willing to walk beside us. With their hand on our shoulder, their footsteps are kicking in the door so your love can flow right into our heart and be consumed. Such friendship is priceless.
Our minds are somewhat puzzled because our lot in life has no fences. Freedom of choice isn’t always fully focused so it’s easy for us to become unsure of your expectations and our decisions are often delayed or sometimes discarded completely. When we look around, it’s puzzling that we are so bountifully blessed compared to some of our neighbors around the world. They must see their lot in life as being a very small package controlled by a patchwork of fences. We pray that their freedom of choice may one day soon be offered to them in a much larger basket because we, who are so bountifully blessed, were willing to listen for your guidance in how we might, with our hands on their shoulder kick down their fences so your love can flow right into their hearts and be consumed.
So, with puzzled minds we prayerfully ask that our neighbors around the world might feel some of the magic in celebration this Thanksgiving and with humble hearts we give you thanks for this bountiful table and for the everyday blessings that we have to share. Amen!

Would you be in shock if someone told you that you've been extra-cuted?

Send me that good old Mouse Genius who is capable of sitting down on a business card and clickly activating the http://www. printed on that card. The computer would respond as though the signal was coming from a hyperlink!
Anyone want to squeeze some cheese into that one?

With the family thanksgiving celebration harvested
I just sat there absorbing the warm enticing glow.
Huge pine trunks muscled onto the burn pile mirroring memories.
The golf cart also resting in deep thought
obviously pondering it’s very recent popularity.
My mind became entirely consumed
Counting blessings!

The men had taken charge of furnishing the meal
Early votes weren’t powerful enough to define majority
So we went to table loaded with KFC, Sub Sandwiches and Pizza
Complimented by soda pop, tater chips, rice crispy bars, etc.
Which were enjoyed by each and every soul including a very welcomed
exchange student from Germany.
Soon everyone here was eating somewhere surrounded by nature, warmed by the sun!

Suddenly I returned to now and realized the magic in the burn pile
Will blossom fine without me watching.
So I coaxed the golf cart to join me while getting the mail.
Going was fine but, coming back became an extreme challenge!
With it’s very last breath, the golf cart physically forced itself forward to the charger.
Then I inched my way up into the tree house to retrieve a KFC bone, a paper plate,
the elevator rope fastened to the lift bucket, which was half full of pinecones still smiling!

I came in the house, turned the computer on and,
I’m almost positive the home page boldly announced Giggle
Before it quickly turned to Google
Little fingers had been constantly stretching
It’s imagination and challenging it to compete in creativity.
I was secretly hoping the computer and I could reminisce a bit but,
Suddenly, I noticed the computer had gone to sleep!
