Thanksgiving Approaches

Four more sleeps from now, to be exact.

Be it known I have much that I am thankful for, of which I will cite only two things: 1. That about 12 people from the Park Center Ward came yesterday and raked up all my leaves; 2. Mostly and always, my family. It's a right bunch of people. Strange, as we know, but funny and bright and good.

I believe some of my family will come to my house for turkey dinner on Thanksgiving Day. They'll bring side dishes and such. We'll visit and eat and draw names for the Christmas gift exchange. We've done it all before. Pretty traditional. Nothing terribly exciting and nothing disconcerting, I hope.

We'll mention Wayne, no doubt, probably comment on the Pumpkin Pie, which I will likely buy at Costco. It will be good, I'm sure, but it won't be his, and that is certainly worth a mention. But I expect we'll have a fine time together, probably eat too much, maybe even talk about what we're all thankful for. Just kidding.

Now I finally know what people have been talking about all these years when they say "pumpkin pie." Thank you mom and thank you, wikipedia!

Also, I like your family, too.
