Hello All,

 

Today we had our second Thanksgiving away from Connecticut. Different in

so many ways...........felt bad till we talked to our son and then felt

so great to hear him saying he loved and missed us...........then the

phone rang once again and this time it was our " other " son, one of the

one's who's lived with us many times-- calling for the same thing..

sharing love and missing us. Called our 80 year old Aunt - she's

freezing there - we're not, we are thankful :) <not that she is, but

that we're not!> Thankful for our loved ones ............who number many

all over the place.

 

Looked outside and realized we have a lemon that's bigger than the last

one which was bigger than a grapefruit, nice and yellow and ripe! Looked

so pretty we left it till tomorrow. Roses are still blooming as are

daisies, mums, azaelas, hibiscus, geraniums and various other stuff. So

pretty. Makes you aware of just how much we have to be thankful

for........our sight for one. Appreciation of beauty.

 

Something that was nice, an unexpected nice, was not having to rush to

get this " huge " dinner ready........thought I'd miss it and

didn't!!!!!!!!! Had a smaller version of what we'd been doing for years

back north, and were able to take our time, Mark and I and just relax

and enjoy it. Even took a nap afterwards - yes, we KNOW that's the worst

time to nap but it sure felt good. :) Everything smelled so good

cooking.. am thankful I can cook and enjoy the smells from the kitchen.

:) And thankful to have plenty of food. Some don't. Don't know of a

shelter around here to volunteer at, but we'll find

something.........and will enjoy every minute of it like we did when we

volunteered back north.

 

We're thankful for our home, our kitties, our love, each other, friends

and family. We're thankful nobody seemed to have bombed anything over in

the US today.

 

I'm thankful to you, Chris for this list, through it and cuz of you,

we've all met some really wonderful people. And I'm having fun playing

online now. Spent a small amount of time online earlier in the morning

chatting with people back north. Nice to get in touch even for a few

minutes that way............

 

We're thankful for our furry family who also had their turkey dinner

today. (they took naps afterwards too)

 

Thanksgiving makes you think. All year we kind of focus on what's not so

good, and some of the good........ - to me, and I'm part Native American

and a lot of other stuff, I don't relate Thanksgiving to all that - I

relate it to taking a day and thinking about just how good we all have

it here. Cuz we do.

 

Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and thanks for being there; all of you!

 

God Bless America!

 

Hugs,

 

Marilyn
