I am thankful for the usual: family, friends (both RL and e-), reasonable health, a cat who loves me, and PIE.
This year, I'm thankful for: managing to sell our old house, staying in the school district yet moving to a place we can afford, a walkable community, enough money to give people presents this year, and this blog. And good grief, a LOT of pie.
Today in special surprise thankfulness, U.S. to Drop Color-Coded Terror Alerts.
I'm making the usual menu. Only 8 for dinner: nuclear family including College Sprog, plus "the usual suspects" -- the group who get together for a sit-down dinner every Saturday night: a couple we've known since college, a single friend we've known for about 10 years, and a student-type person far from her natal turf who the couple has taken under their wing semi-parentally.
Cranberry sauce is made, rice for stuffing is made, turkey is brining, stock needs to be skimmed. All is proceeding according to plan for 6 PM start.

And there will be at least 4 and possible 6 PIES for 8 people. Which means: PIE FOR BREAKFAST TOMORROW! \o/
Chime in.
PS: are any of my fellow posters finding that "Preview" doesn't work for you anymore? Or is it something I said?!? *pokes interface*
I'm grateful for:
A job. A real, though part-time job, but still....
My daughter, who is everything IMO that any parent could hope for in offspring.
My honey, who has made me believe in love again (an uphill struggle, believe me!)...and maybe even in it lasting a lifetime.
The end of my foreclosure/short-sale nightmare, which occupied so much of the last 18 months.
My best friend of 30 years is still alive & going strong. No mean feat after being diagnosed with inoperable stage4 cancer nearly 2 years ago. Today's his birthday, so guess where I'm spending Thanksgiving? Happy 54, my bro!
My sister and brother - apart from my daughter, my only surviving family...and lifelong friends as close as blood is supposed to be.
Taken all together, not a bad life to turn 60 in.
Blessings of the day & the season to all!
('cept for the 'war-on-Xmas' dummies)
(nah, just kidding: bless them, too)
