In years past, we typically go around the table just before we eat, and everyone announces something they’re thankful for. I don’t think that’s really that uncommon. However, this year each person wrote a few things down on a scrap of paper and dropped it into the bean pot. Contributions came from 3 year olds up to 50+ year olds. Guess who’s were who’s!

I am thankful for…

• …my happy & healthy kids
• …Grandma & Grandpa
• …friends–far & near
• …Mud & Alice (our cats)
