"Thankful Thanksgiving"



Today this is how I feel.
How can there only be one day?  I want need a spirit of gratitude every day.
It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  Yesterday my Momma, Nannie and Cousin Judy came to the house for a "Pre-Thanksgiving Planning" breakfast.  Basically a final going over of the menu and a relax session.  We laughed about old times, stuff we have or someone else has fixed over the years.  Family that has gone on.  We needed that sesson for the troop we will be feeding Thursday.  We will have 22+ .  We do almost all the cooking.  We have my Dad's side of the family All of them. They don't understand why we have to cook so much food.  Of course it doesn't stop them from eating it all, lol.

I'm thankful that this year, for the first time in 5yrs we won't be doing inventory til 9 Wednesday night and starting at 7am on Friday morning, Yay!!
Even though my FIL and his wife drive me nuts, I am glad they will be with us again this Thanksgiving and get to spend a couple days with DH.  He misses his Dad alot, and they rarely get time together.
I'm Thankful for great friends who are always there when you need them.
This year I am thankful for having all my family another year and everyone being healthy.

What are you Thankful for this Thanksgiving?
Today is also Tammy at Time Flies birthday, please jump over and wish her "happy birthday"!!
