Happy Thanksgiving

Thank you, Lord, for each new day you give to me,
For earth and sky and sand and sea,
For rainbows after springtime showers,
Autumn leaves and summer flowers,
Winter snowscapes so serene,
Harvest fields of gold and green,
Beauty shining all around,
Lilac scent and robin sound,
Stars that twinkle high above
And all the people that I love.

Wednesday found Kyla and Emma baking pies with me in preparation for Thanksgiving. Emmy spent most of her time rolling out the dough and cutting out shapes......and throwing lots of "snow" (flour) everywhere. We had a great time and Kyla took home a chocolate cream pie and an apple pie for her dinner. She and Jed hosted Thanksgiving for Jed's dad, Jack and brother, Benji. Dave and I spent the day with Barb and Rick, Kristi, Pat, Jordie, Addie and Lexie, Brian, Jill, Wade, Kelli and Wade's friend, Cain. It was a lovely day and we enjoyed spending time with everyone and playing with the kids.

Jordie and Addie got to feed the chickens and Addie is a pro at crowing. Jordie spent some major time fishing out the leaves from the pool. We did a little Christmas shopping over the rest of the weekend but have a lot more to do.

I just want to take a moment to say how thankful I am for all or our terrific friends, family and acquaintances. You are all wonderful and a great support to us and we love all of you. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
