Thankful

I'm going to have a house full of people next week. I'm looking forward to sharing Thanksgiving with so many good friends and family. Things I'm thankful for:

• My sweet husband who has loved me for 34 years.
• My precious children scattered across the four corners of the U.S.
• My five delightful grandchildren, and the one on the way.
• Good friends, though I wish some of them were closer by.
• A small house with a creek in the backyard.
• A job I enjoy that lets me meet some really wonderful people.
• Books, home, hot tea and scones.
• Freedom, to be completely me, to live where I want and worship as I choose.

Some of my favorite Thanksgiving books:

This is the Feast by Diane Z. Shore
Diane's exquisite rhyme brings the story of Thanksgiving to life.






Squanto's Journey by Joseph Bruchac
A lovely retelling from Squanto's perspective.







I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie
by Alison Jackson

Pure fun!


Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy the holiday.
