ok - to start off this Thanksgiving Day, you'll have to forgive me for not writing for so long...It's been an uncommonly busy November...one of the first things I'm thankful for. I think I told you all that I got a job working in the same hospital as my daughter. That has been great...getting to see her on a regular basis and watching her work. I hope she knows how proud I am of her.

On the other hand - I was hired as 'back-up' to several positions, so that they could go on vacation and the major part of their work would be covered. So that means, that in the last 6 months, I've basically started 6 new jobs. A little stressful and majorly exhausting.

But life is not all work. I've finished a couple of quilts, a couple of stocking hats, some socks and a vest. Started a sweater and bought fabric for more quilts. Life is never boring is it.

I have to tell you tho, that it was a wonderful Thanksgiving. My grandson played in a football game here in my town, so the boys came down last night to spend the night and help Grandma get ready for Turkey Day. Then this morning we all went to the game and let the turkey cook while we were gone...came home to a house that smelled wonderful. We nibbled a while on the appetizers then sat down to the full turkey dinner.

How wonderful that the family was here, healthy and happy. I'm really thankful!
