:) WADAYA THINK…..OR KNOW THURSDAY

Jump over HERE to see more of these family pictures! :}

The other day I got a phone call. It is the kind of call no one likes to get. It was my daughter, informing me that her roommate’s dad just passed away of pancreatic cancer. It sent me in a tail spin of emotions. She had just flown home to see him a few weeks ago, and so the family was finding it difficult to purchase a flight home. I set out to see if I could use my flyer miles, only to find out they were expired. I talked to a representative at Delta and I was told that for $50 dollars I can reactivate them, and for $150 here, and $10 dollars there we could work it out.  ( to purchase a flight was from $900 to $1500) Her Bishop then volunteered to pay the fees if we could use my miles…….But then a member from her home ward booked her a flight and she is on her way home tomorrow. I do not know this family, but my heart panicked.  I cried for their loss. I could, in some way, feel the pain.   They are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

WADAYA think about Halloween?  To be honest with you….I love it. I have never focused on the gory part, but I love the costumes,  candy, pumpkins, colored leaves and trick or treating. When my kids were little, this was our Halloween Day:

1. Make or buy costumes (mostly made)

2. Dress kids in costume for school (if it were allowed)

3. Make sugar cookies for the Grandmas

4. Carve pumpkins

4. Go trick or treating at mall

5. Go to Grandma’s to take cookies and show them costumes

6. Ran door to door

7. Attend all Halloween parties available

I have so many fun memories and I am preparing a fun post for Halloween. (fun for me) So stay tuned…………..
