Congratulations Tommy Boggs

Not only is my baby brother very flexible as you can see in the picture below....



But he is also a hard worker...


And very strong...


With a nice smile...




And a pretty wife and son...


But he is also very smart!
(No Picture Included...)

But there is proof...
Tommy just finished nearly three years in nursing school. He passed his exit exam this week and once he passes his state boards he will be working as an RN. He lost his job at GM in December of 2008 when they shut his plant down and he started nursing school the next month. It has been a long hard road but he made it. He is graduating with a 3.41 GPA. Isn't that great? See? I told you he was smart.

Congratulations Tommy! We are so proud of you!

No-Miss November

I try to post regular to the blog. I usually think I'm doing pretty good if I can put up 18-20 posts per month. The only time I hear from some folks is when I'm not posting often enough. Lol. That's OK. It is nice to be wanted. At least I know you are out there. I intend to post often but I want to have good content as well. I admire people that can post something interesting or thought provoking every day.

I am obviously not there yet but I did manage another No-Miss Nobember. That is, for the second year in a row I posted everyday in November. I worked on posts for this month from Montana, Utah, California, Georgia and Ohio. I typed posts on airplanes, in airports, sitting in McDonald's, standing outside in one place so I could get signal and in the warmth of the BoggsMobile. I have wrote about revival, friends, family, weather, churches, Pastors, music, food or whatever else came to mind. I have posted pictures of special people, places and some of my favorite foods! 30 days and 30 blog posts.

Posting everyday is certainly not a great accomplishment in the grand scheme of things but it's done. Now I hope I can think of something to write about tomorrow.

Until then... Back to the weather...
It snowed here at home last night. We were on our way to church in the rain when, lo and behold, it turned into snow! It is not the first day of snow here this year or the first we have seen this year but it did surprise us. After our experience in February with the Tulsa blizzard even a little snow makes me want to go WAY south!

Thanks for reading the blog. I hope it is warm where you are.

Here's a picture just as it started down.

Thanksgiving Dinner With The Boggs Family

Saturday afternoon we gathered at the Fellowship Hall at Dodds for the Boggs Family Thanksgiving Dinner. It Was ALL good. Everybody was there except for one nephew Victor. Plus our cousin Lisa joined us and it's always great to have her celebrating with us.

Here is a glimpse of some of the craziness that is the Boggs family. Now you know where it comes from...

Let's begin again with the turkey!




No Boggs dinner is complete without a cheese tray...
Can you tell we nibble on the appetizers while the meal is receiving the finishing touches?


My first plate...


I would grow a beard but I don't know which chin to grow it on...





This is my baby brother, Tommy. He can do amazing things!


We also celebrated Jay (My Brother in Law's) 40th Birthday.
















Yes, this is my favorite sister Theresa. Yes, that is whipped cream...




Yes, of course, that is Kelly Jo joining in on the fun...
