Thanksgiving Thankfuls

Good afternoon and come in for a cup of Pumpkin Spice coffee. This is Door County coffee, my favorite, Pumpkin Spice, and it is so good. You see I have my favorites of coffee. I love Kona and DD regular, but I love Door County Pumpkin Spice. I also love their White Christmas. As you can tell, coffee is important to me.lol Grab a red ware mug,(it is that time of year.Redware time.lol) and fill it. I know you will enjoy it. My friend Sharon,(The Speckled Hen, owner) brought this to me and I sure am enjoying it. I will cut you a piece of peach cake too, if you like. I love it. Don't know why I was thinking peach today, instead of pumpkin. Yes, I do, my domino group comes tomorrow and one of the girls don't like pumpkin. Anyway I  am so happy, as usual, to see you. Yes, I am decorated for Christmas, but won't show pictures today. I want to talk about Thanksgiving Thankfuls. What are we thankful for? Of course I can't list everything, or we would be here for weeks. I just want to share a few things I am really Thankful for. First of all, that God lives in my house. That I am forgiven and cared for. I am thankful for my church. I love my church and all of my friends there. I am thankful for my family, as we all are. I am thankful for friends who have loved and cared about me forever. I am thankful my family included me on so many vacations this past summer.
To the beach not once, but twice.
Disney for our celebration.
Thankful for no more chemo, that Amanda could walk in this.
Thankful for a wedding.A new granddaughter in law.
I am thankful for a granddaughter finishing her residency after many years of hard work. I am thankful she invited her Grandmother to be there.(Yep, I was the only Grandmother at their banquet)
I am thankful for the rest of my family. I am thankful Seth is in Chicago, pursuing his dream of acting. I miss him, but am happy for him. I am thankful Olivia is pursuing her dream of studying abroad next semester. Canterbury,England will never be the same when she hits it.lol I am thankful Douglas and Anastasia are doing well in Chattanooga. Although they took this little fellow away.
I am thankful for Christmas and family get togethers. I am thankful for get aways with friends.
