Thankful

Thanksgiving Day 2006! What a blessing! We had extra blessings around our table this year! Besides all of us (everyone!) we had Rachel's grand-dad/aunt/mom/brother and MIMI to join our Thanksgiving table this year! It was a beautiful day---temps in the 70's and sunny. Perfect weather and guest list! ........How can I even begin to list all the food????????? I've never seen so much! ALL the girls cooked and brought several dishes to share. Each one better than the next!Two of the GUYS also cooked! Terry and Brad! (Brad fried a turkey). All the dishes were fantastic, no doubles!, and the dessert list was incredible. I'm still FULL 2 days later!!!! ......The highlight of our day was watching Mimi and Mr. Lane sit beside each other on the couch and giggle and talk. They were the CUTEST couple!!!!!!!! They really enjoyed having each other to talk to!....Terry had the sweet blessing for everyone and then the instructions: GET A PLATE!!!! HAHA! (they followed instructions to the letter!). Here is who all that was here: ME, Terry, Mr. Lane, Mimi, Cathie, Jamie, Jay, Rachel, Charles, Michael, Kadie, Lily, Natalie, Brad, Kemp, Patrick, Stefanie, Katie and Jon! Oh yes, and MAGGIE the cat and Buddy the dog! (Jezebelle was sent off to the garage!). Maggie laid on the couch and nuzzled Mimi's ear!.....We had such a wonderful time and I thank God for the blessings He has given each one of us. It was truly a wonderful day for which I will always be THANKFUL!
