Taking Time to Be Thankful~~~

It's November. That means it's time for turkeys. And pumpkin pie! And decorating the house for Christmas. Kyle got his Thanksgiving assignment last week. He had to decorate a large feather with all the things that he was thankful for. Here's his list: Mom & Dad, Trey, pumpkins, presents, fire trucks, race cars, candy canes, soccer, falling colored leaves, and construction vehicles. :o) That got me thinking about my list ( in no particular order). I'm thankful for .......
