…sitting back…..wiggling my toes….enjoying the first cup of tea in the day…..
\nThanksgiving is over. We had a LOVELY day. About half of my family was present and it seems that everyone had a good time. There was the usual embarrassment of riches, the true “groaning table” that the PR firms show as the ideal Thanksgiving meal. Thanks to waves of help on dish duty there’s not an overwhelming amount of clean-up left to do. I have two loads of linens to run through the wash, and the last of the glasses and silverware, and a turkey roasting pan to wash. The floors need a good sweeping, and maybe a little wiping here and there, and we’re back to normal.
\nCollectively and individually we have a lot to be thankful for. I’m sure that message gets lost now and then in the living of life, but it was very obvious seeing the family gathered together. We have lovely, well-mannered children who are healthy. We have loving spouses, and we share concern for each other’s families. My brother-in-law is walking (unaided, no less) after his serious accident in July. My niece, who still hurts from her accident last week, is on the mend. My mother, who will be 89 in just a few days, was there to celebrate with us. We are blessed, so blessed, and I wish the same for all of you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
