Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and I was feeling like I didn't have much to be thankful for since we aren't moving, can't sell our house, and have had a pretty tumultuous year. But then, I thought about it and I realize that I am very thankful for my health and the health of my family. I am thankful for my new friends at Monroe and for my supportive friends and family that have helped me through some pretty rough times.

So I invite you all to comment on my blog, you have to sign up but it's easy.

Anyway, last night we went to my Grandma's home for Thanksgiving. My aunt and uncle, three cousins, my parents, and my kids were all there. The food wasn't as good as I remember from years past but i enjoyed spending time with my 78 year old grandma and her boyfriend Gene as well as my much beloved Aunt Leslie and her family. I was reminded of the last Thanksgiving before my grandfather passed away. He was very ill with liver cancer at the time but Thanksgiving was always his favorite holiday. I remember him being so tired that he had to put his head on the table for a while but he perked up when the meal was served and even asked for a second helping of Grandma's good stuffing. It's hard to believe it has been 10 years since then, but I am greatful for the memories!
