Today is the eve of Thanksgiving... a busy day for shopping, preparing, last minute cleaning and shining the china, the silver, the chandeleirs... all those things that make a festive place.

But this is a special holiday to many, its a reflection of what life is.  All those things I'm thankful for, the obvious, my daughter and grandchildren and wonderful son in law , my sisters, neices, nephews and the whole list of my relatives far and wide.

The not so obvious things, the car I take for granted that I get into each morning and it just takes me where I need without hesitation and with minimal maintenance.

I'm thankful I was added to my friend KarenSue's  active rain invitation list.,.. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Rain, I have met some incredible people here and learned much more than I ever thought I could in such a short time.   In the Rain I have learned how to make graphics and signs, Put a Christmas Clock on my site, link to places, make postlets, use all sorts and kinds of tools that are FREE here online. And I have expanded my real estate knowledge with all the wisdom here at AR.  Today I am thankful for many many things but i didn't want this opportunity to say thanks to all of you slip by.
