Blessings, books, bugs, and babies!

Blessings:

Thanksgiving is almost here and with it comes a reminder of all our many blessings.  We have so much to be thankful for, including our family and friends.  So many fond memories are stirred up as I think back on many celebrations with our loved ones.  I always miss my parents more this time of year as I think back on the holidays.  Mother was a terrific cook and she knew how to make family celebrations fun.  My mother-in-law also comes from a heritage of good cooks.  They say people often express love through their cooking-and I agree!

Books:

The family cookbooks have arrived!

We are so excited to see all our family recipes in print!

Thanks, Liz!  (Thanks for the pictures, too.  I helped myself!)

Bugs:

A flu bug has hit me.  I’m sitting here at the computer looking a bit like this:

Spending the day in bed with a cold, wet towel on my head makes for interesting hair, but at least the bug waited until school was out for the holidays. 

Babies:

This sweet baby just got a clean bill of health from her cardiologist.  She doesn’t have to be checked again until she is around three or four years old.

And there you have it.

Lots to be thankful for!

Have a great Thanksgiving!
