1. I'm thankful for cornbread dressing. Rachel still makes her Grandmother Lena's recipe.
2. I'm thankful for apple pie. Our friends brought us a bushel of Apples from the Smoky Mountains.
3. I'm thankful for the sound of my childrens's voices. They are all adults now. Hard to believe...the years have gone by way to fast.
4. I'm thankful for Rachel. 42 years and counting.
5. I'm thankful for 9 grandchildren.
Had no idea how wonderful those little people were and the sheer joy they would bring into our lives.
6. I'm thankful for cold weather. We had a fire in the fireplace this morning at 4:30 AM.
7. I'm thankful for Christmas music. The whole world sings for the Joy that came to this world.
8. I'm thankful for my friends. I've been answering text messages all morning long.
9. I'm thankful for a few days off to breathe, watch a movie and take long naps.
10. I'm thankful for my little dog. Me & Hatch took a long ride in our pick up truck yesterday. He was so happy, wagging his tail, poking his head out the window and then asking for me to pet his head.
While we are driving, he will come sit on the armrest next to my right arm. Then while I'm driving with my left hand he will tap my right arm three times. Tap Tap Tap, asking me to rub his head. And of course I do.
All is right with the universe.
His & mine.
Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃❤️🌲
