>Before this month of traditional thankfulness slips away, here are a few things for which I’m grateful.
My dear hubby, Max, who somehow, year after year, plods along with me, taking all my quirks in stride. And this fall, he scarcely batted an eye when I announced that I wanted our new entry doors to be painted red. Five coats of paint and many moons later, he and my son, James, installed them. Don’t they say, “Come on in! You are welcome here.”

| WELCOME! |
And the house was full for Thanksgiving, three of our kids and their kids, Max’s dear sister and her family. So happy to have them all gather for our Thanksgiving dinner.

And we didn’t do traditional turkey this year, but the Cajun creation of Turducken. Strange and wonderful aromas wafted through the house as we set the table and then feasted on way too many good foods.

You know you’ve had a good time when you forget to get out the camera and line everyone up for family pics. I didn’t take many this year, but couldn’t resist taking a few of this little monkey (who usually is more cooperative and will look at the camera).

| Isn’t that an angelic smile? |
A blessed year. God has given me a wonderful family. What more could I possibly ask for?
