Happy Thanksgiving to all.
There is so much to be thankful for on this beautiful day and I hope all of you have peace and love today and every day.

Mike and Bette went to Spencer, Idaho to spend Thanksgiving day with Uncle Ted and Mary. They had a lovely time and Mike was in good spirits. He has been able to find some things as the unpacking continues. When everything has been gone through, I think they will be able to go to the insurance agency for the house and request some replacement items for Mike's house. He did find some knives, forks and spoons but there is no cookware, dishes or glasses. His kitchen is beautiful. It has new cabinetry and extra counter space. I didn't see the new stove, refrigerator or microwave but Chris said they were better than before. I am, again and always, thankful that Mike and Bette survived and all was not a total loss. Mike's favourite quote is that there are only two rules in life: #1 Don't sweat the small stuff. #2 It's all small stuff. That's a great attitude to have and I have used it frequently in life and work.

Thanks to all who are continuing to view this blog and I will continue to post updates as I learn of them. Our cousin, Klaren Koompin, started radiation therapy this week. Bette will talk to him or his wife tomorrow to see how it's going. Please keep him in your prayers also. Love to all.

More later,
and so we go
