I am thankful for the sense of smell! Our house is already beginning to smell like the holidays. Being able to smell familiar foods is such an amazing “comfort.” Plus, I have cinnamon candles burning everywhere!
When you smell certain foods, do your memories of past holidays come flooding back?

I am thankful for HELP…..you read that right. Grown DD # 2 picked up the “boys” yesterday afternoon and they all spent the night at her house. I love all my kids/grands, but nearly 20 hours of “peace & quiet” is heaven sometimes!
P.S. I made her a chocolate pie to repay her thoughtfulness! She had said, she wanted a whole chocolate pie just for “her” for Thanksgiving. Well, on Thanksgiving we will have Apple, Lemon, Pecan and Pumpkin, along with a Four Layer Chocolate Pie….so, she got her plain old chocolate pie today! ;)
Also, very thankful honey hunk was not “badly” injured yesterday. One of the horses managed to kick him. It was just a glancing blow on his right hip. Thankful he didn’t catch it in his rib cage!
