Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I am so thankful that I get to spend time with my family and that we can all enjoy each other's company. Aunt Karen made a great dinner as usual, and we gobbled it down. The kids played outside and had a blast all day. They are getting so big, it is hard to believe both Russell and Kristin are in high school now.
My grandma Mimi was doing great on her 90th Thanksgiving. We remembered people we love who are gone...My Uncle Gary...Sheryl's dad, Uncle Daryl...Eric and Jeff's Dad....and Grandpa Russ...I am thankful for the time I had with them and they are all still alive in our hearts and memories.
The picture of me, sheryl, and Mimi at some early 60's thanksgiving was passed around. I am thankful that I am still part of the younger generation in my family. Mimi sat in her daddy's rocker and we remembered Grandma and Grandpa Delzer...I miss all those who are gone and I am thankful for the memories I have of them. I am thankful for the generation younger than me as well. Shanna, Kristin, Nick, Russell, Ryan, they will bring in the next generation to add to our family. I am thankful for the Thanksgivings of the past and I look forward to the ones in the future.
Live...Laugh...Love...We were able to do them all with each other this year...and that is a lot to be thankful for.
