I'm thankful...

The house is alive with the sound of conversation and laughter; it's now filled to the brim with family and friends who are all together to celebrate Thanksgiving. It's a sound I dearly love to hear.

Preparations for dinner tomorrow are already well under way. There are pies in the oven and a scrumptious looking German chocolate cake on the counter. Tom the Turkey will go in around 3AM followed by a honey ham that makes my mouth water... by noon dish after dish of delicious treats will emerge from the kitchen to fill the table and then some.

I'm blessed in many ways... I have my faith, a loving family and close friends, my health and the freedoms to do what I please. It just doesn't get any better than that. My wish for all of you is a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving. We're truly blessed to have each and every one of you in our life and we're thankful you've allowed us to be a part of yours. God Bless... and Happy Thanksgiving.
