It is a
lovely day outside. Wispy clouds, warm sunlight... My cat, Mr. Darcy, spent this morning tearing up
my face, so I didn’t get to sleep in. I’m not overly thankful for him clawing
at my eye, but I am thankful for my (normally) sweet little kitty. :)
I hope that
you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We’ll be having a scrumptious
lunch/early dinner, and then my brother and his wife are coming over, as well
as a family from our speech club, for pie and games. So tonight will be fun!

Haha, yes, my pie turned out quite yummy. :) Perhaps you can have a piece on Monday (yes, we're still on. Can't wait to see you!!).
DeleteI loved reading this, Mariah, and seeing the pictures of your Thanksgiving bounty. God loves your thankful heart! It says in scripture that "God inhabits the praise of His people". I am so thankful for your heart, and that you are my grandaughter!
