I’m feeling grateful for a day to think about and appreciate all my blessings, with those I love gathered by my side. I know that that alone is a huge blessing many people don’t enjoy.
The house is clean (mostly), the table is set, and the food plans are underway.
We are looking forward to spending the day with most of our family (we will sure miss those who aren’t here) and we will feel a loss from those empty chairs at this year’s table (Father-in-law Reed and Aunt Mardene).
It will also be a day to remember my nephew Shane as we participate in a run/walk to honor his memory. We can’t get together with all of his family and friends, but everyone does their own walk and then we post pictures on Facebook to share- so it seems like we are all supporting him together.
My son Robbie designed the racer’s bib for this year.
Here are my Thanksgiving hopes:
1. The turkey won’t be dry.
2. The rolls will rise in time.
3. The weather won’t keep anyone from attending (a storm is predicted).
4. Gratitude will dominate the day.
5. Everyone everywhere will enjoy the blessings of this harvest season.
6. The world can find peace.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Your table looks absolutely wonderful JoAnn. Even your list sounds wonderful. Many blessings to you and yours as you come together to give Thanks! God is Good.
Everything looks fabulous and I hope it all went without a hitch. Enjoy your time away from school and savor the extra time with family. :-)
