Today I am thankful…

- that I didn’t burn my first turkey (which was only a breast because we also made a chicken dish and what am I Rachael Ray?)

- that when I dropped the paper towel roll on the fire extinguisher in the pantry (that is mysteriously missing it’s pin), it did not fully discharge, and that the debacle was cleaned up before our guests arrived

- for pumpkin pie

- that my mom is here and was able to share the day, which would have been her 44th wedding anniversary

- that I got to say the prayer before dinner so I could include all our traditional prayers (NOT “good food, good meat, good Lord let’s eat”-I’m saving that one for Christmas)

- for my family

- for my friends

- for my friends of the internet persuasion

- that I am living in a beautiful house in a beautiful city in a beautiful state in a beautiful country.

- for the military serving overseas who are sacrificing for our freedom.

and lastly…

I am thankful for stretchy pants and loose fitting tops.
