Thanksgiving.
Can I just say the sooner the leftovers are gone, the better (except for Stormie’s pumpkin pies)? But all delish.
We did a “thankful” tree on Thanksgiving, everyone filling out little “leaves” and hanging them with things for which we are grateful written.

Redemption…a Savior…my lover and husband, Dave…the five children I carried to birth - watching them become the people God intended…Giving Thanks…the 5 grandchildren who call me Nonna and run into my arms in front of people making me look really good…parents who raised me for God…my siblings and the people they married, the nieces and [...]

“We save a tree, but kill a child…”
Those were lyrics in a song playing before the service began at church Sunday.

November is topaz: golden yellow, a whisper of burnt sienna peering through the amber mist, sometimes slightly pinked. November is a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard from Dairy Queen or a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks - extra shots and extra hot, pile on the whip. November is strength and snuggling closer while looking forward. November is the time to [...]
