Happy Thanksgiving Day!!!!!! We had a good Thanksgiving Day. Both Brant and I worked hard to prepare a tasty meal. We had three Chinese guests over tonight for a feast which included turkey even! Last year we couldn't find turkey, so we used chicken. We checked our big Metro store three times in the past few weeks to look for turkeys and were glad to find them on the last try last week! We bought two just in case they wouldn't be available around Christmas time. The turkeys are smallish but still turkey, and we have leftovers even! Thanksgiving meals are so much work, but the leftovers make up for it by making the next week's meal prep a bit lighter than usual. Leftovers are my friend!

This is totally unrelated to Thanksgiving, but I wanted to give a little update - ever since that first day that Eden's Heidi bear arrived here and Eden couldn't remember the bear's name, she has remembered the name! Just thought I'd let you know. :) (Does anybody know how I can add smiley's to my blog?)

Psalms 100

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
