thanks giving

the look says it all

imagine a thanksgiving dinner served here

oooo, giving thanks for the colors that nature gives us..until next season!

Morning.  Today we will host a Thanks Giving dinner.  9 people.  May be a bit 'clown car' trying to fit everyone in our wee kitchen but we've got Ro and Vi's 8 foot table for just this occasion!  woo woo

Frank the turkey is thawed and will be ready to roll on into the oven at 1pm.  I bought one of those digital thermometers that you poke into the meat and then it lives on the outside of the oven to tell you the temp.  The GW's have talked of this wondrous invention and so we'll try it out today!  Gotta love a new gadget.  Frank is 14 pounds of turkey goodness.  Can't wait to eat you up Frank.  We give thanks for you.

Are we not so lucky?  I sure feel lucky.  It IS a Wonderful Life.  Full of bumps and things not fair and things that suck but mostly : it is wonderful to be alive and to be where I am right now.  I feel like I'm really just getting-a-going.  So Hug your lovies and give big thanks.  In that thanking, lies magic.

Thanks to great spirit.  Thanks to all my family and friends - I could not do this life without your love and support.  Thanks to Huzz for his commitment and hugs.  Thanks to Benoit who is always glad to see me.  You've been such a wonderful companion all these years.  Thanks to GW's, Pie sistas and to ninja and petit fleur, Bron, Nels, JB kooka.  You womenfolk bolster my spirit with your strength and compassion and lovingness.  To Bet spaghet and D and B and to Romo and Vimo - you rock and are rocks to cling to.  Thank you for your faith and love.  Thanks to Gram Alice, Aunt Esther - no longer with us but living on in our lives.  Thanks to Edna - you corker you.  O just thanks for this wonderful, messy life.

Enjoy your weekend.  :)
