29November2009 Still Full

Like a flash Thanksgiving came and went and three days later we are still full. We ate an excellent meal of turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, mashed taters, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, coca-cola cake, etc. After a couple helpings everyone sat around in a carbohydrate-induced haze. Bliss! The only thing missing was parades and football on TV.
In the evening we had a bonfire in the vacant lot across from our apartment. Everyone made room for hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows. Our group, approximately 30 folks, listed things we were grateful for and then we sang some songs. A perfect ending to a wonderful day.
We're thankful for a Dad that never gives up on us, family and friends and the many blessings of this life but this year we are especially grateful for being here, in our new home. It's been a long time coming.
May we who are so abundantly blessed be a blessing to those around us!
