HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I am very thankful for all my loyal Followers and also the other folks who read my blog. I am thankful for the wonderful comments I receive. And I'm thankful for two new followers:
WELCOME to Karen, our new follower! It's nice to have you along for our journey. I don't see a blog listed for you, let me know if you start one.
And WELCOME to Tom at Big Sky Chief, a man who cooks! It's nice to have you along to share our daily adventures as we prepare to RV full-time.
I'm thankful for this RV blogging community. I'm thankful for having my dream to RV full-time with my dog, Katie. When I am able to follow through with this dream, it will open so many doors to me and also solve a lot of problems I would otherwise have when I retire. It will be, I hope, the perfect solution to retirement for me. I can't wait! : )
The first Thanksgiving was in 1621 and lasted three days! That sounds like a long holiday, but these days most of us get four days off, so... Lucky Us!
I'm thankful for so many things. I'm not going to list the things I'm thankful for - it would be too long. Every year it grows. All year long I appreciate my family - I have two wonderful kids who've given me five perfect grandchildren and they would top the list, and of course Katie.
I'm sitting here typing as I watch the Macy's Parade - there's a really good float of a huge turkey going down the road right now. I'm thankful even for little things like that. I'm in my warm home, Katie is laying out in the sun on the patio, four days off ahead of me. A fridge full of food, cupboards full enough to find almost anything I'd need for any recipe I'd care to make. A car full of gas - I can drive anywhere I want. Great neighbors around me. These are the kinds of things I'm lucky enough to have all year long, and I DO appreciate them all year long.
Isn't he beautiful?
My son and his family drove up to visit my daughter and her family in Vacaville, and I know they are all going to have soooo much fun. The grandchildren all love to be together, so it's a treat for them when the families visit. I'll see them all together during Christmas week down here in San Diego, and I'm looking forward to that.
Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving everyone, from Me and My Dog, Katie! : )
