We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day surrounded by family and lots of laughter. The house smelled so good from the food and every thing tasted good. It was a day of filled with gratitude and love as we celebrated life. We were reminded of how blessed we are to have another year together.
I spent Friday enjoying the peaceful house, as Laney and I took some time to rest and share each other's company. She loved curling up in my lap and getting a lot of attention. She is of course my faithful companion. There was no Black Friday shopping for me. I am not a fan of trying to mingle with the crowds. There is not anything on my list that I abosutely have to have that would make me want to stand in line or fight the crowded stores. I guess for some people it is a tradition to rise early for shopping and to think their getting a bargain. I slept in and my bargain was a well rested body and mind.
I enjoyed watching my husband's excitement Saturday as he got to go to the Ohio State and Michigan game. It was the most excited I have seen him in a long time. It was a surprise for him, as a dear friend of ours hooked him up with another friend that had an extra ticket. I love those kind of surprises. My husband was in football heaven. The look on his face was worth a million dollars. Thank you to our dear friend for thinking of him. And, yes those Bucks won which made it even more special.
Well, it is time to decorate the house for Christmas. It is hard to believe another year has almost slipped away. I have lots of holiday parties on my calendar and I will celebrate with gratitude that my family is feeling happy and healthy. So it is December the first, and if I can get Laney off my lap, I am going to decorate the tree while the Christmas music plays and the Orange and Palm trees sway. I think they are swaying possibly somewhere south. Oh well, a girl can dream.
Life is beautiful ! Happy Holidays !
