A great day!

We went to my daughters house and had Thanksgiving dinner there with some relatives ferom both sides of the family. As usual, the spread was fantastic though I restrained myself and did not overeat which is the usual Thanksgiving malady that befalls each of us.

I kind of let it all hang out yesterday as to what this particular day means to me so I don't need to bore you with that all over again.

Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the rest of the weekend and gear up for the Christmas season which totally misses the point of the "Christmas Season". But, I know that I and many others are beating a dead horse in this regard.

Last year one of the doctors stated that I would probably be foregoing the holidays so that I could be ready for the holidays for years to come. Today is the first payback on that investment and, in retrospect, a very wise investment indeed. I haven't made many good ones in my life but it when it really counted - it paid off handsomely. Looking at my picture, you can see that I am being a little presumptuous about the "handsomely" part.

Anyway, mine was a great day and I hope that each of you had as good a day as I did.

Now let's all start making a new list of blessings that we can refer to next Thanksgiving's Day...
