Year 2010In light of the recent past, one might think there's not too much to be thankful for (I'm referring to Peter's broken leg, operation, recovery, discovery of broken foot, second operation, longer recovery and multiple incisions), but I'd like to take a mo and ponder what I am thankful for ...
Awesome weather!
Awesome neighbours who donated an air hockey game to us since their won kids have outgrown it.
Awesome grandma who kicked @ss at said air hockey game with dumbfounded grandsons.
Awesome husband who made dinner for exhausted wife last week in spite of aforementioned injuries, and who is upbeat and uncomplaining throughout.
Awesome kids who love music and teach each other the ins and outs of the tenor sax then practise screechily and enthusiastically.
Awesome turkey which is the first one I've ever cooked pretty much on my own (well, minimal verbal assistance from husband on initial set-up and from grandma on gravy-making). It turned out surprisingly well! I'm still surprised! And full.
