**Thursday #297 Remembering Our Blessings**

[Catty1]

Hmmm....I DO wonder what is in Orc's stocking.

Maybe we can expect some baby Orkies in 2009?

ETA: Talking about blessings, Heard a GREAT story at the noon AA meeting yesterday! This older fellow has been sober a few years - and because of distance and some family estrangement, he is seeing his grandchildren this year for the first time in almost 20 years - in fact, they are 19 and 20 years old or so!

Brother and sister have decided they want a sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa's, and they even bought jammies with the feet in - and are opening their presents in their jammies! I thought that was a great story!

It's never too late for blessings.

I feel really dumb but I need to ask: Who's Orc?

If you've read or heard of The Lord of the Rings movie or books, an Orc is one of the big baddies .... but this guy has been sorta tamed, and uses his enormous strength to help out with chores around the bar.
