Thanksgiving weekend was absolutely wonderful
- downtime at its best
Reflecting back, I'm thankful for so many things:
- sharing holidays with this crazy crew
even when it's loud and hectic and the stuffing is a little dry...
- finding out there will be a new family member joining us for next thanksgiving
yep - I'm going to be a grandma
:-)
- misty mountain mornings
there is nothing I'd rather gaze at while enjoying my coffee in the morning
- the annual tractor parade - shared with another branch of our family
the best way ever to get into the Christmas spirit!
- riding home from a family outing, when Greg and my son-in-law
spot this beautiful owl in the woods on the side of the road -
and I actually have the right camera lens with me
and so much more
I'm joining Michelle for Thankful Thursday
and Tanya for Willy Nilly Friday Five
whoa - it's December, already - how crazy is that?!

Wow. That's a passel of kin. The little family Dina and I have left is scattered between Texas and Northern California. A BIL visited about twenty years ago. Otherwise Dina and I have lived quiet lives here in Florida. Peaceful, but the love you must experience....
