To my blog family, I wish you all the happiest of Thanksgivings, even those of you who may not celebrate Thanksgiving tomorrow. The idea is the same worldwide, even if we choose different days or ways to celebrate.
Tomorrow 27 of my family will be here to share a meal and say thanks for all that has happened in the past year. Dear Husband's youngest kid gave birth to our beautiful granddaughter. One of my nephews married, a niece had a baby boy. My god child also had a little boy this year. We feel very blessed.
I have pumpkin bread in the oven, and my Sicilian husband is making lasagna, which is his contribution to our meal. The element on one of my ovens has died, but we've found clever ways to get around the problem, and I know that our meal will be incredible. I come from a family of wondrous cooks.
I hope you have something for which you can say thanks. It doesn't have to be something big. It could be the smile a child gave you, or a rose from your sweetheart.
I'm glad that I met Cop Car and Hunky Husband and have been voted into their family. I'm glad Dr. D. and Mad Bull came through the hurricanes safely. I'm glad for Desiree that things seem to be working out for them. I'm glad that Stephanie came home to recharge, and that the boy is doing fine, Billy. Jamie, I'm glad that I haven't heard any stories about a mother in the Dallas area going on a rampage! lol
I'm looking forward to catching up with you all on Friday. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

I second Bogie's motion. (She always gets in there ahead of me!) Hope that all 27 of you have a perfect day of Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that Hunky Husband and I got to meet you, your Dear Husband, and your Elegant Mother. Since our family isn't overly procreative (we left that to my niece in California), we needed the infusion of new blood--LOL.

Great menu, Buffy. All my favorites -- pumpkin pie and Lasagna. Set me a place at the table, okay?
Enjoyed reading your Thanksgiving Blogcard that even included us who celebrate on a different day. Wishing you the same -- a grand and wonderful Thanksgiving! :)

Thank you, one and all! We had a wonderful day, and the least of it was all that good food. I really enjoyed seeing my sister's children and grandchildren. It makes the effort so worthwhile.
Roberta, I know that pumpkin pie and lasagna are really odd pairings, but that started when we combined his family and mine. HIS side of the family always celebrate holidays with pasta, and MINE wouldn't consider calling it Thanksgiving without my sister's pumpkin pies. So....I'll set a place for you!
Cop Car, we're more than happy to provide that infusion. You have a great family, and we're delighted to be a part of it.
Dr. D, you can see it was a successful day. *S*
Billy, Thanks, hon!

Belated Happy Thanksgiving, Buffy. Mine was great, back in October. Now that we are caught up on our celebrations we can both work on Christmas!

Thanks, Des! I really envy you the celebration in October. It must make preparing for Christmas a lot easier!
