Giving Thanks

2 turkeys 
cornbread stuffing 
sweet potato casserole w/candied pecans 
garlic mashed potatoes w/gravy 
homemade dinner rolls 
gussied up green beans 
ham 
homemade pecan pie 
homemade pumpkin pie complete with whipped cream.... 

 these are a few of my favorite things! 

This year I paced myself.  Even in the midst of the young 17 yr. old seated to my right who heaped her plate high... TWICE!... and among gentlemen who went back for 4ths... I, Suzanne Duvall, defeated the gluttonous appeal of the Thanksgiving feast and paced myself.  My coveted reward was a full and not the least bit angry belly.  I added my full and happy belly to a list of what I am thankful for. 
Here are just a few of the items on my list (in no specific order):

A close family- of blood and of heart
My puppy dog Ginger and her frisbee ;) 
Modern bathroom facilities
Redemption and chances to move forward
Warmth
Thunderstorms
Soft green grass to lay in
Hilarious moments
Nieces and Nephews
Unspoiled food
Children and all their sillyness
Peaceful slumber
Music
Vacations

What are you thankful for this year?
