Thanksgiving

Today we are celebrating Thanksgiving as the majority of my friends are unable to attend any festivities tomorrow due to work. Not that I blame them at all, the company pays time and a half for stats and if I were scheduled for work tomorrow I certainly would go in. We are having a turkey dinner tonight with all the trimmings, which I am preparing. I am hoping many will attend (as I've invited about 20) although I fear very few will. (As I've only heard confirmations from 2.) The meal will include turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots, gravy, cranberry sauce (both kinds), homemade buns and homemade pumpkin pie, oh and of course strawberry wine. (zinfandel) It should prove an excellent meal with many leftovers and as I am having a Thanksgiving luncheon tomorrow for many who are unable to make it today but wish to partake before work tomorrow.
But I digress... as it is Thanksgiving I want to state a few things that I am thankful for this year:
- I am thankful that God loves me and watches over me daily
