Thanksgiving

This year, I am thankful that I am exhausted more often than not, that my patience is being tried, that I am renegotiating my identity, and that I usually have food stains on my clothes...
...life is abundant, plentiful, and promising.

We finally got ourselves to Cincinnati to visit our Meaders cousins who are living there. The drive was short and easy, and we questioned why we hadn't done it earlier. The day was so lovely - great food, beautiful home, gorgeous weather, pleasant company, humorous conversation, and serious game-playing. Thanks, Billy and Suseanne for hosting us! We'll get you next year. eaw loved the cranberry, apple crisp that was served - repeatedly asking for more "balls" (cranberries). Here's a before and after shot from the day.
