Thanksgiving Memories

I thought I'd look back and list some of my Thanksgiving Memories.

• Eating spinach at Granny's - almost couldn't get it down
• Walking on a beach  - watching surfers
• Aunt spilling a whole pumpkin pie in the oven
• Pecan Pie - Papa Al eating it by himself, making it for the first time by myself
• Crowded around the table at our house on Dennie Court
• Mom making a list of what we had at the meal
• Visiting my in-laws finding out they don't always have turkey!
• Watching football
• Playing video games and eating turkey dinner for 3 days straight (yes for breakfast, lunch and dinner!)
• Eating dinner at Spanish Moss

What are some of your memories for this wonderful holiday?

What I'm Thankful For

With Thanksgiving approaching it is only appropriate to list a few things I am thankful for!

1. Jesus Christ - my Savior
2. Family - so blessed by all the loved ones in my life
3. Friends - there friendships are so precious to me
4. My Home - Such a happy place to be
5. Freedom - it is not free and I am grateful to everyone to helps protect it

Okay those were the big things, but here are some smaller things that make everyday wonderful!

1. My Daughter's laugh - nothing much better on this earth
2. Kissing my husband every morning and every night - we have done this for 8 years
3. Seeing my parents several times a month - easy to say goodbye when I know I'll get to see you again soon
4. Chocolate - dark 70% or more so good 
5. Survivor - I just love watching people who are forced to co-exist
6. Discovering a new author - Charliane Harris is my new favorite

What are you thankful for this year?
