I am thankful for my family. No, really. My dad & stepmom invited all of us (me, John & my mom) to have TDay with them. My mom's side of the family has become so small - it's just my mom, my 3 cousins who all live in or near Jeff City MO, one elderly great aunt and my mom's cousin. That's makes for meager holiday gatherings, especially since I see the cousins from MO about once every 2-3 years. I would have spent more holidays with my dad, but didn't want to deal with the drama of Leaving Mother Alone for some damn holiday. My mom & stepmom get along famously, which is a hoot - and kind of goobs my dad out, which is even a bigger hoot. Anyway, we all went and had a lovely day with lots of good food and chatter. The weather was fabulous and the drive was uneventful. Tomorrow, it's back to wallpaper removal FTW!
What are you thankful for?
blathering,
family
