There are 21 people gathered at Randy’s parents’ home for Thanksgiving and we seem to have 10 pies. That’s almost 1/2 a pie per person. I knew I liked Randy’s family.

A few of the many things for which I’m thankful:

  • My husband Randy who laughs at my silly jokes and silly songs and continues to try to teach me history although my mind is a sieve for dates and places.

  • My friend Leslie who saw the new Muppet stamps and sent me a sheet because she knows how much I ‘d love them.

  • My friend Linda who sent me an encouraging e-mail because she knows how lonely I am without our daily updates.

  • My sister Raquel who embarassed her whole family for me by taking a ridiculous number of pictures of their food today while her family celebrated Thanksgiving at a Marriott resort restaurant just because I like pictures of food.

  • My favorite store IKEA for putting their cinnamon rolls on sale for 6/$4 which we enjoyed for breakfast today.

  • Our many new church friends in Charlottesville who have brought us food or had us over to eat.

  • My niece Cindy who reminded me that I learned how to crochet when I was young and brought me back to its simple joy.

  • Happy Thankgsiving.

      Actually, I prefer IKEA’s cinnamon rolls to Cinnabon’s. I know that sounds sacreligious but the Cinnabon rolls are just too sweet. IKEA’s are close too perfect and warm up well even the next day!
