  we worked from 11 to 12 last night. we figured we’d have more time from 11 to 12 last night than we’d have from 8 to 9am this morning … even though both were an hour.

  the kids were showered & in bed. we’d watched a movie & rex had fixed some part on the car.

  we grated cheese & chopped nuts for a cheese ball.
  we listened to christmas music.
  my veggie dip fell off the counter & landed on the ground.
  at 11:45pm it was actually really funny – i laughed : )

  somehow mixing spinach with the sour cream & seasoning for a bread bowl dip made me think of grandma. of her kitchen & the sounds & sights & smells of thanksgivings there.

  i was going to use her relish fork for my veggie platter, i decided.

  you weren’t ever suppose to use your fingers to pick up olives from her vegetable spreads & this year just because i have her silverware we weren’t going to use fingers either.
  
  for the record …. i actually don’t think i ever used her relish fork at thanksgivings for olives …. unless some aunt was watching ; )

  sailor woke up at 3am throwing up.

  rex was insanely sick friday & saturday. the germs spread & sunday, monday & tuesday a better part of us were down.

  throw in a wicked case of mastitis for me & we have had a brutal few days.

  but by wednesday we were back & really looking forward to thanksgiving with family we hardly-ever-less-than-once-a-year see.

  ’til 3 am.

  b.u.m.m.e.r.

  i will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart & i will enter His courts with praise. i will say this is the day that the Lord has made, i will rejoice for He has made me glad.

  He has made me glad, He has made me glad, i will rejoice for He has made glad.

  

  plan b.
  we’ve watched the parade. we’ve ate muffins. we’ve made brown bag indian vests. we’ve even watched the national dog show. we cut feathers for brave headbands. we’ve loved sailor. we’ve played legos. we’ve eaten our cheese ball.

  we’ll take naps. we’ll watch football. we’ll play football. we’ll go for a walk. we’ll love sailor. we’ll be thankful.

  he who is not thanking God for His benefits, is forgetting them.

  there are way to many benefits to be forgetful, so we’ll be thankful.

  he is the darling-est little indian boy brave ever.
  happy thanksgiving ~
