Thanksgiving

Softly, gently the brisk cool breeze Blowing through the golden trees As the cool fall begins to settle in Smells and beauty explode within Warm sweet scents of baking pies Fills our senses and delight the eyes Home is bursting at it's seams filled with laughter Building memories we'll remember long after Family scurring all around such a precious sound Lots of tales shared one with another abound Everyone patiently waiting in anticipation As the women fuss over every creation With love and caring each one is working While the children and men are somewhere lurking Waiting, wondering just how soon as it's way past noon We all sit down finally and bow our heads Giving thanks for that which lies ahead For the blessings we all enjoy this day Knowing the love for each other is here to stay This is my house when my 7 kids and 19 grandchildren get together. It is also how it was when I was younger and my siblings and kids gathered at mothers house. This year I am flying my little Navy girl in to surprise the family. I can hardly wait! I am lucky to be a young 58 so I can really enjoy this and we are building memories that will last.
