It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

How was your Thanksgiving?  Mine was great.  I was reminded of how much I have to be thankful for.  I appreciate everyone and everything in my life, and am humbled by how lucky I am. A lot has changed in my life in the last few years.  I've lost some people, and had upheavals in other areas of my life.  I've learned to appreciate everyone dear to me, and I try to show them every day.  And I've learned not to tolerate bad behavior.  Now if I could just convince the animals not to behave badly...

We spent Thanksgiving day with both our families, laughing and eating well.  Very well.  The rest of the weekend we spent in Amish country, not too far from here.  We ate more good stuff, stayed at a cool inn made from an Amish barn, drove around avoiding buggies, and generally relaxed.  Drank a ton of root beer, woohoo!  And played Trivial Pursuit while watching Jeopardy.  We might be nerds.

Speaking of which, I am now an official blogger.  When we got home, my Xmas present had arrived- Miss Mox had a bag like hers made for me.  We exchanged gifts early, partly because my travel bag came apart as we carried things in and she figured I needed a new one.  Plus, I think she couldn't wait to show it to me... She's the best.
