Thanksgiving Week

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends!  This is a national day of Giving Thanks.  I think it's better to be thankful every day.  Here are five things I'm thankful for this week and am sharing on Friday Fave Fives.

1.  My wonderful husband.  He put me on a plane to visit my daughters and he even drove me to the airport at 4:30 am.

2.  Friends who allow us to crash at their home near LAX so it's easier to catch those 7:00 am flights.  We go back many years and it's always so good to catch up with them.

3.  A safe flight; two, actually, as I had to change planes in North Carolina.

4. Hanging out with my girls.  Last year at Thanksgiving, I was in England with Daughter #1.  Those were wonderful days and wonderful memories.

5.  Funny texts from my brother.  Don't siblings share a special bond?  I'm thankful for the relationship I have with him.

Yeah, this Fave Five is short and sweet--it is, after all, Thanksgiving weekend.

Even though we're supposed to be thankful every day, I like the reminder and emphasis of Thanksgiving Day - just like we're to honor parents every day, but it's nice to have that emphasis on Mother's and father's Day. Glad all your flights went well! It's nice to have friends you can crash with. Hope you have a great rest of your visit!

I hope your family and home continue to be safe from the fires willow. Such a devastating event. If I recall correctly your son is a firefighter. I'm keeping all firefighters, animals and of course people in my prayers. Have a safe journey home.
