Whew I have had a busy few days full of cooking and cleaning! Everyone has arrived and the house is bursting with Family. We are planning a nice big family dinner for this evening. I have prepared a lot of dishes ahead so I can enjoy the day. It's very quiet sitting here in the kitchen with my cup of coffee. Everyone is still snuggled into their beds. But soon the house will be bustling with activity. I love this time of day.
Thanksgiving really has changed for me since my breast cancer diagnosis. I have so much to be thankful for. Thankful to be healthy and alive. Thankful for my girls and my wonderful husband. For the love we have for each other and our children. Our home and little farm. For our siblings and families. We are so blessed.
This thanksgiving I am especially grateful that I am here. To see my girls enjoying their family. For the hugs and kisses I get everyday. For all of the breaths I take and for every moment that takes my breath away.
Happy thanksgiving to everyone. May you be blessed on this wonderful day and for many days to come.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
We are glad that you are here, and sharing your blessings with us, today!

A real pumpkin pie! Perhaps you will share the recipe because I have never, ever eaten pumpkin pie.

Happy (post) Thanksgiving!
I missed coming to Maryland this year, but look forward to your state next year.
Sounds like it was a wonderful holiday filled with family!
