Happy Thanksgiving. I'm so thankful for my children and husband. Add to that my extended family. I'm thankful for my good friends all over the country who make my life even more bountiful. Even though the economy has tanked and things are bad all over, I'm feeling very blessed.
Because I grew up as a child of depression era parents, I've had depression living engraved on my brain, so I know we will be ok. We will pull together and combine resources and get through as a family intact. We just have to keep our eyes on the prize. For the generation of my children this is particularly hard as they have had mostly affluent times. The spirit of working together will get us through.
My heart goes to my niece and her husband this week, celebrating the day without their beloved daughter who died this summer at the hands of a hit-and-run killer. We will remember sweet Riley and celebrate her life.
Thanks to my sister who takes on the task of having us all there-and there are a lot of us to feed. My honeybaked ham is ready to go along with my pies, so we will head out to KY this evening.
Be thankful, be happy, and be full of good eats.
That's the way it is, see y'all.
