For what are ye thankful?

[Jdarg]

Paula...your celebration sounds wonderful! Our family is small and I always felt my kids missed out on a large extended group of relatives.


Our family is now very small, so we usually "import" other people. Last night it was at my mom's- the 4 Dargs, Bdarg's mom, my best friend, her husband and 2 kids, including her MIL (too many MILs!), and another couple with a little girl that Mom knew from church and they didn't have family in town. It was fun, and my family members behave much better when there are "non-family" members around. We had a great time- and I have what's left of Mr. Turkey simmering in the stock pot now!

Poor Paw Paw! Make sure you tell him he has coast-to-coast sympathy for his thumb! Guess he can't hitchhike now!

Alright now, party's over, plates are cleared, and we've all said our goodbyes and hugged and kissed and said it was a wonderful perfect Thanksgiving. Our hearts and tummies are full.

I have one more thing to be grateful for. Right now. You know what it is? You all know what it is!


Elastic!

Yup- in the sweats right now. May not take them off all day!

Look- I found a 2 year old Thanksgiving thread!! I look forward to reading the whole thing later. Couldn't find the 2006 thread- will keep looking.

Happy reminiscing to you all----

...I'll read it later. But, it's a good one to bring back, because I was out picking up pecans in the backyard with the cold winds blowing in (and making the pecans fall like little bombs) and thought...this is something to be thankful for!

I sooooooo remember this thread!! Thanks for bringing it back! I'm gonna read it now because I'm stuck here at the office waiting for a dinner I have to go to at 6:00. I do remember the cornbread though...

I'm thankful that I have wonderful friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving with and the resources to go always* go home for the holidays.

On the small scale, I'm thankful to have internet at my house. On the big scale, I am very thankful to know many wonderful people and pets who I call my friends and family. I am also thankful that I am in good health and able to do so many things.

Miss K, please share your wisdom on how you find picking up pecans to be something to be thankful for as I need the inspiration. We have 2 large trees in our yard and I despise dealing with them. Share your wisdom, please.
