Is giving thanks for Thanksgiving, redundant?

What a great Thanksgiving I had. The guilt maybe sneaking up on me now, because I had such a good time. In fact, there is only one thing that could have made it better, for me. More of the same.

I don't think that I needed anymore food. And this year, twenty minutes of football on tv, was more than fulfilling. A wise man would have skipped the "turkey bowl" football game, were I was the oldest man playing. But why be wise all the time?

The things that made this Thanksgiving special, had more to do with family, than anything else.

The food prep, started way before anyone could really open there eyes.

But everyone worked, and with a smile. How come no one took my picture, while I was vacuuming?

The clock on the wall says it's time to eat. And yet more smiling.

I'm kind of partial, but I don't think i have some great looking daughters, who also work very hard, to make it a great Thanksgiving. Everyone chipped in.

Amy came up with some new recopies, this year. All three, the pear and pecan stuffing, the chocolate caramel pie and the chocolate caramel pie were a great hit.

Michelle made a pumpkin roll, that vanished, before I had a taste. Very good, so I'm told.

Here are the two stars of our show, Grandma and Jackson.

There were more picture taken, but I don't know were they went. Like the pictures of Reva. And those of Heather and her new boyfriend, Paul. I always said, if you can make it through, the teasing that you have to endure at some one else's family gathering, you may just be a keeper. Paul did all right.

The only thing that could have made this a better Thanksgiving (for me), would have been to have my brother Steve, his wife Tara, his son Kyle, my sister Stacey, her husband Doug and all there children, there. what a great reminder of what is really important, to me. I would rather have my family together for Christmas (doesn't have to be on Christmas day) than any gift from a store (I am not really trying to hide this hint).

Some times, you feel so blessed that you can't imagine, a more happier feeling. I hope that everyone, can feel that feeling, at least once in there life.

Love too all - Boyd
