Nothing is more precious than life and the time one has to share with family.And in this holiday season, it is important that we give thanks for those we love and the time we have together.
The news about Titans Offensive Coordinator, Coach Mike Heimerdinger, brings a week of nonsense with Vince Young into perspective.
October 15, 2010, we lost our father George Ellis Henley to a 17 year battle with prostate cancer. He fought this disease so hard and for so long, we almost took for granted that cancer could eventually take his life.
But it did.
Although we mourn his loss, we MOSTLY celebrate his life. And that life is something we are SO thankful for!
George Henley was born in 1932 during the Great Depression , in Birmingham, Alabama, in theJim Crow South. He went to the Air Force. And attended Lawson State Community College and Alabama A&M University, where he received a degeree in Building Contracting. He was extremely proud of his profession.
He owned his own company (G.E. Henley Construction Company) , and provide for us, and our mom until his illness no longer allowed him to do so.
We were always thankful that we had a good and strong father who worked his entire life to provide for our family, for as long as he could.
We are thankful for him, and his humor, and his ability to laugh thru adversity!
We are thankful for his love for Atlanta Braves baseball, and his love for sports, and that introduced it his twins as babies. Our mom likes to talk about her being pregnant with us, when daddy took her to watch Hank Aaron and his Homerun assault.
We are thankful he taught us to always look out for each other.
We are thankful that he taught us the strength and pride we should always have being born African-American, women and being educated, for there was a time that this would have been nearly impossible.
We are thankful that he believe that family is paramount in anyone’s journey through life.
And after 78 years on earth, we are also thankful that he no longer suffers, and is at peace in the Kingdom of God.
We are thankful for the life of George Ellis Henley. We are very thankful and grateful for us having him in our lives for as long as we did.
Be thankful for your life and all those in it! They all have a part in your journey and in your existence!
We are very thankful for you!
God Bless You and Happy Thanksgiving!
XOXOXOXO

The Twins Week 12 Picks!!!
Yvonne’s Game of the Week: Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans
DRAMA!
The Tennessee Titans visit division foe Houston Texans, after a full week of turmoil, beginning with Sunday’s loss against the lowly Washington Redskins, followed by the Vince season ending thumb injury, then a controversy after the game between Jeff Fisher and Vince Young, and then a lot of other madness, and finally culminating with the sad announcement today that offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger would be leaving the team to undergo chemotherapy after a cancer diagnosis.
With the Titans at 5-5 and the Texans at 4-6, both teams need a win badly if they have any playoff hopes. A defeat may put either team out of the playoffs in the contentious AFC.
Texans have been looking rough of late, but so have the Titans, even before this recent drama.
Sounds like too much to overcome for my Titans. But here’s for holding out hope.
Tennessee Titans, 13 – 12.
Yvette: *Ahem* Just wanted to mention I was 13-3 last week…
Yvette’s Game of the Week: Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Baltimore Ravens
I’m kinda excited about this game! Both the Bucs and Ravens are 7-3
Tampa Bay is tied for 1st in the NFC South and Baltimore is tied for 1st in the AFC North.
So this show down should be interesting. And based on the NFL moving the game to a later time due to flex scheduling shows just how interesting this game has become!
The resurgence of the Buccaneers lead by young head coach Raheem Morris' is one of the big stories of the NFL this season. How are they doing it? They are rather young and inexperienced. They aren’t a potent offense and a defensive powerhouse like the Ravens. They are winning by taking care of the ball. Not making a lot of mistakes and turnovers.
The Ravens are an older and experienced team. Their strong defense and I believe a better offense and the fact that they rarely lose at home is the reason I say the Ravens will win. Baltimore Ravens 21-14

The Twins say, “We take it back!”
Yvette: Remember when we said Mark Sanchez was cute as can be but can’t throw a pass to save his life? Yeah, we take it back (Yvette & Yvonne’s Ode to Mark Sanchez )
Yvonne: He’s turning out to be a star QB with a great arm and all the intangibles (mental toughness, fearlessness, leadership abilities).
Yvette: Remember when I said the Cowboys were overrated?
(DALLAS COWBOYS = OVERRATED! Yvette explains it ALL )
Yvonne: I remember!
Yvette: I DO NOT TAKE IT BACK! LOL!
Yvonne: That’s right! Hold your ground!
Yvette: I pick them week after week. Then FINALLY you make a move! Too little too late…
Yvonne: I never picked them.
Yvette: OVERRATED. And not going to playoffs...Cowboys...Really?
Yvonne: Yeah remember when we did that interview with Braylon Edwards’ neckbeard?(The Twins EXLCUSIVE Interview with Braylon Edwards’ Neckbeard )
Yvette: Yea. Braylon was too cute for that thing and it was bad influence.
Yvonne: We told him to get rid of the neckbeard…
Yvette: Oh yeah.
Yvonne: I miss the neckbeard.
Yvette: Yeah, We take it back! His album is good, too! *I think I’m Big Meech…Larry Hoover *
Yvette: Remember when I said I was through with Matt Forte…(YVETTE'S HEARTBREAK: Matt Forte disses his fiancee' )
Yvonne: Aww naw, don’t say it!
Yvette: I take it back! 1. I love the Bears and 2. He’s so fine!
Yvonne: Pardon me while I puke.
Yvette: I love you, Matt!
Yvonne: Remember when I said Mike Vick wasn’t Hot? (Yvette and Yvonne Decide: He's HOT or No He's NOT! Edition1 )
Yvette: Uh Yes….Crazy… Mike Vick = Sexual Chocolate LOL!
Yvonne: I take it back. This new-and-improved, humble Mike Vick loads more attractive to me now.
Yvette: I don’t supposed this has anything to do with his 7-3 record and his league-leading 108.7 QB rating, does it?
Yvonne: It has everything to do with it. M-V-P! M-V-P!
Yvette: Dat Boy Good!
Yvonne: He’s turning out to be a star QB with a great arm and all the intangibles (mental toughness, fearlessness, leadership abilities).
Yvette: He’s still as cute as can be, though
Yvette: Remember when I said the Cowboys were overrated?
(DALLAS COWBOYS = OVERRATED! Yvette explains it ALL )
