I Am Thankful.

There are a lot of Christmas-ey delights that I'm ready to tell you about, itching, in fact to show you,

however,

I love Thanksgiving, and every year it sort of gets quieter and quieter

as we steamroll right by it in order to get directly to Christmas.  

And I'm not down with that.  

So without much ado, I'd like to declare 

that I am thankful

for John, and Mable,

our small little family.  

And also our extended family, which includes, but is not limited to (and listed alphabetically): 

Alyssa, Andrew, Beatrice, Carolina, Catherine, Chip, Jane, ( the little unnamed one inside of Jane), Jay, John, Kevin, Lynn, Merritt, Mike, Robyn, Sumner, Will, & baby William.

Also, our friends.  It's a blessing that there are too many to name.  

And lastly, for you, dear reader.  Thanks for visiting me from time to time.

That said,

Happy Thanksgiving!
