Happy Thanksgiving 2009!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love to cook (and eat) good food, have company (occasionally), and take a moment to remember our blessings and give thanks. This year, though, Sharon is on the West coast with one of her sisters and her brother, which leaves me, the dog, and two cats. With so few celebrants I'm cooking a turkey breast — no way to justify a whole bird — mashed sweet potatoes (the dog enjoys them), broccoli (all I can eat), and pecan pie. I'm glad to be alive — it beats being dead — and, to be honest, I'm thankful to have things worth fighting for. And I enjoy the company, as I imagine it, of angels. Here's hoping that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
