So much to be thankful for! This year we trekked to my cousins' to count our blessings! This is where it all started for us, you know. Mike and I met here 'long years ago' (seems like only days)! The house was bursting with kids; theirs and ours, blessed daughters in laws and rough 'n tumble grandkids and dear friends who came to share the day. Such fun! We are the ones with silver shining in our hair now. They are the ones to fly the super cub, call the coyotes, with knitting needles that click and clack, purl in front, knit in back. Little boys chase little girls with gold flying curls! Oh my! Phone calls come from those far away, come to surprise us and brighten our day! A grand daughter's 13th birthday... wasn't it only yesterday they were bringing her home to meet us for the very first time! Our patriarch's wing in a sling! Pies cover the counter of every size and description. Each of us eating way (weigh) beyond his ration! Playing cards, passing on stories of years gone by, toasting the future while wine bottles go dry! We thank the Lord for blessing us with abundant love. We are thankful for those who gather this day and for those who are so far away. We ask for His guidance as we go on our way with thoughts looking forward to next Thanksgiving day!
