Happy Thanksgiving

Our house is bustling with excited kids and dogs and suitcases and 1 frazzled mother and 1 dad hollering to be quiet so he can get his work done.  Sound familiar?  The list of things to bring to the farm keeps getting longer.  The weather says snow Friday, so OK, now we have to search out boots and winter pants and long johns, don't forget the birthday presents, and frozen cakes, dog food, medicine for colds, inhalers, play clothes, nice clothes, kids' table decorations, blankies, etc..............................................And although the packing isn't fun, the 2 days that will follow will hold lots of happy moments and memories that will last a lifetime.  So I'm off to take some tylenol and a deep breath and remember what this holiday is all about.
