Giving Thanks

 We did that yesterday with Ed's family and we got this lovely floral arrangement for our kitchen table from his brother.

A bonus, the best part is always getting together with family.  I'm sorry we weren't able to join my side as well but living on opposite sides of the state makes it difficult.  Maybe Christmas.  I'm grateful that we are still able to travel to see everyone.

And speaking of Christmas -- that's on my list for next week. I start bringing Christmas into the house the week after Thanksgiving, a little bit at a time so it's all ready for the day.  The Christmas season is my favorite time of the year.  I love seeing all the decorations, both mine and those of friends, neighbors and in the shops.  And we have snow which makes it perfect.

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving.
