thankful thursday

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?!

Thanks for dropping in!
