Our Thanksgiving celebration came early this year. We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Salesman's family when we were on our way home from Hilton Head. A I prepare for a quiet Thanksgiving at home this year, it has made me think of an article I wrote at least 5 years ago entitled "Thanksgiving Came Early": Gathering with family, leaves changing colors and cooler weather have made for some of my fondest Thanksgiving memories. The men set out early to hunt, the women put the finishing touches ... Read More about Thanksgiving Came Early

One morning a note on my Bible greeted me from Baby asking me to wake her so we could go to breakfast together.
