Thanksgiving Thanks

-
The day of giving thanks is upon us and for those that are traveling I bid you safe travels to and from your destination. For those that are home, I bid you a blessed day full of love and family. We will be home today celebrating with family and then we will travel to my daughter's new house on Saturday for a celebration there as well. Our son will be here today with his girlfriend, (that is going to be fiancé soon- SHH!) as well as our youngest daughter, her boyfriend, the grand doll, and my father in law and my mom.

I will be cooking dinner today and then Saturday, I simply get to enjoy the day! I am thrilled about that! My Thanksgiving wish is that one day I am able to sit and watch the Macy's parade thru it's entirety without cooking. I think I may be dreaming that will ever happen. For those that are cooking, I pray that everything turns out perfect. I have my turkey on and I am getting ready to start the ham. I have potatoes almost ready to go in the pan and I have my cranberry sauce chilled. Pumpkin pies are ready and banana pies will be soon. I will get the veggies into the pans soon and they will be cooking away without much worry.
I pray that the day is filled with love for each of you and I want to say how very thankful that I am for my blog friends. A few of you, I have connected with more than others, but I must say that I am thankful for each of you. 

What are you thankful for today?

    Carol, not just on Thanksgiving, but each and every day I get to meet new people who visit my blog or who I meet through others' blogs is a day of thanksgiving. We are all so very connected by our love of home and family, our hobbies, and our concerns. Thank you for visiting my Utah travel post at Panoply, and giving me a chance to have a peek into your world too! Merry December!

I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change it.  Thinking an
