While I’m under no illusion that there’s many of you “out there” today, I still want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. It has always been my favorite holiday, mostly because it’s just about family and food without a lot of distractions. The retail world and black friday notwithstanding of course. I can’t even bring myself to capitalize black friday.
While I don’t always see my kids on this actual day, I will still miss them especially today. They have lots of family “obligations” on a day like today, so we have in the past often gotten together on the day before. I will get to talk to them on the phone. Every year my son-in-law Adam has to leave for Chicago on Friday for a big convention and has to spend the rest of the holiday weekend working.
Today I’ll be having dinner with friends and my Guatemalan family, the Westbys.
I pray for safe travels for all of you as you visit the important people in your lives. And if you’re cooking, don’t burn anything, especially yourself.
Only brown and white! 
(some of you will know what that means)
I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! I caught up on your adventures that morning and thought of Thanksgivings of past at grandpa’s. I had Thanksgiving with some of my Alaska family while mom and dad had Thanksgiving with their Cruces family. I did not discriminate against any of the colors: turkey, sweet potato casserole, corn casserole, deviled eggs, cranberries, fruit salad, apple cake, pecan pie, and key lime pie. Only brown and white. Poppycock!
I hope all is well ?. I, as always, enjoy reading your stories and I love you.
Ah Honey, the misguided use of the room in your stomach causes me great angst.
BTW, as the instigator and expert on this great practice, I declare deviled eggs as
qualified because they are mostly white. (and I like them a lot)
