Just a brief post to express my thanks this year and looking back and forward to the many thanks to come. This year it was just the three of us, Linda, Alan, and I. My dad was ill and didnt want to make the journey across 90 miles of I-15... The picture above is in no way shape or form of the way our place looked like, this would be a dream setting to have at least this many around a table, but though we are few in numbers we are great in appetite. Linda fixed a great meal and we had all the fixins' - the cats are enjoying the bones and fatty remains. We watched John Wayne movies All day (Alan's favorite) So it was a lazy day and hit the bed running. One last thing before I leave, I wish there was more I could do to be able to be with those we love - For us it has been just the three of us for the past few years and I have to say it - I miss the big family functions and the great turkey day to see relatives you rarely see. What happened to the days of old when we traveled far to do so... I plan on having a house some day and with it, thanksgivings should be filled with lots of food, laughter and joy! I am going to invite as many people that will come and maybe if we are lucky enough to have a child of our own to spread the joy of the holidays. I hope your thanksgiving was great and looking to the future, may I see you around the dinner table is my prayer.
