I know...I said that I wasn't going to keep blogging....but I really wanted to write about this grand holiday called Thanksgiving. I do love it.....Kathy and Jeff had us all back again....and oh this is such a treat for me. They are BOTH such amazing cooks and everything was delicious...the turkey done perfectly, dressing..delicious....I tried duck.....veggies were a plenty...wonderful homemade rolls,perfect cranberry sauce...and oh the desserts.....pumpkin,apple,lemon,cocoanut cream pies and amazing cheese cakes.....pumpkin and toblerone......NOW how blessed are we....and my WHOLE family was there....plus Nelson family too.
I love the cooking break...but I especially LOVE the family time....we took so many fun pictures..but the above group one is a favorite for me. Laura also had us do some fun poses and if I can fugure out how to add them I will.
I know we have one day of Thanksgiving, but as I pray each day I always have much to give thanks for...so here goes.....

Everything that blesses my life comes from the same source...my Father in Heaven.

I am one very very blessed individual.......thanks to all who make my life so grand!!!
