Suzanne Somers: Fight Fat after Forty

                                                                           

Something I 'm currently experiencing "Menopause" thought I share some good info, I have several of Suzanne Somers books related to Bio-Identical Hormones ... To my gal pals & family over 40 you should do the research & start feeling better. I am currently taking Bio-identical hormones  and  I feel that  I'm on that road to start feeling like myself again, its a journey ,however, "There is a light at the end of the tunnel "

 Great books I highly recommend!

One of my favorite Thanksgiving Memory - Ricky the Pilgrim

Ricky-"The Pilgrim"

 Pre-school Thanksgiving Play

Over the River

(Thanksgiving Day)

Over the river and through the wood
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the wood
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ting-a-ling-ling!
Hurrah forThanksgiving Day!

Over the river and through the wood,
Trot fast, my dapple gray!
Spring over the ground
Like a hunting hound,
For this is Thanksgiving Day.

Over the river and through the wood,
And straight through the barnyard gate.
We seem to go
Extremely slow~
It is so hard to wait!

Over the river and through the wood~
Now Grandmother's cap I spy!
Hurrah for fun!
Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!
