Each year our family has the Conner Fall party in which we have so much fun. Food, sweets, games, prizes and lots of laughing fill this family event. Needless to say memories are made. This year me and my daughters dressed like Superheros. I don't know who was more shocked at my auburn wig...my man or my grandkids!  One of my grandgirls told me the wig made me look younger....I MIGHT BE WEARING IT MORE OFTEN! My grandbabies sure had fun as always. GAME TIME.... Needless to say the kiddos lined right up to throw the ball and knock down the cans. We definitely have some PITCHERS. And the party would not be complete without tossing the balls into the pumpkins! Especially when they are going to win LIVE GOLDFISH!   Who can have a Fall party without playing "Go Fish"?.

The minute I opened my eyes, I could feel the weight of the darkness. All I wanted to do was pull the covers over my head and pray that the world would go away and leave me alone.But it won’t. I know that. I have responsibilities – deadlines to meet, people who are counting on me, and things I need to get done. So I do what I always do on those days. I take a deep breath, cry out to God for the strength to get out of bed, and literally make myself get up. That is the first victory of the day. Yes! I then get dressed – another victory – and even though each step feels like I am walking through quicksand...
