“Thank the Lord and pass the mashed potatoes.”
If you don’t count the 14 pictures I took of Annabelle in her turkey skirt and the five I took of my table centerpiece, I barely took any pictures of our Thanksgiving. Imagine a turkey, a bowl of cranberry sauce and a table full of dishes and you have a good idea of our day.


We had our friends Jordan, Sarah and Zack over. We played Taboo and the teams were guys against girls. The score was something like 67 to 43. I’d be more specific about who got 43 points but my spirit is still bruised. 

You can look at this as a sweet mother/daughter picture, or you can focus on the blank picture frame we have on our wall. What you can’t see is we have six frames on that wall and only four have photos in them. It’s been like that for a week. It’s always a miracle our marriage survives hanging frames. Actually filling them all in a timely manner is expecting too much. The phrase you’re looking for is Mr. and Mrs. Martha Stewart. 

I’ll tell you what I’m most thankful for- you can’t see the white hair in my eyebrow.
This white hair nonsense is getting out of control.

BRB. Gotta go plan my Christmas decorations.
