Time flies!

Since Wednesday night the past 3-1/2 days have flown by. Having everyone home is absolutely wonderful! I now know how my mom and dad felt about having us come home when the kids were little. They loved having us come home. Being the youngest my parents were retired and had time to get ready and prepare before we would go home. I have to sneak in the time to get things done and ready but all those late nights and early mornings are so worth it.

From setting a third wedding date to going out to eat Wednesday night to the games, the food, the fun, the football, the farm visit, the Christmas decorating and mini-Christmas Friday and Saturday, it truly was a great weekend.

Everyone has left and I am left with some leftovers, pictures of the weekend and tons of great memories! It was everything I'd hoped for and more! Thank you to my family for everything!

So as everyone heads back to their lives and we finish up the leftovers and I pick up, put away, wash and put back life I have great memories of my family and I am reminded how truely blessed I am. We are not a perfect family. But we have fun. We are not a high maintenance family. We just enjoy the simple things and make great memories along the way. Oh, and we eat some pretty good food! 

This is our last Thanksgiving before changes come to our family in the next year. Next year at this time two of the three kids will have spouses and our third wedding will be right around the coroner. We've had an exciting  year and we have so very much to be thankful for. And next year promises to be even better and bring us all together several times to celebrate! I can't wait!


Tomorrow Monday will roll around and will life resume, and I have new memories of this past weekend and I am reminded again how blessed I am.

Positive thought of the day: Mother Nature cooperated and decided to wait until everyone got home before she coated everything with ice and is holding off until tomorrow before she brings us more winter weather-thank you!!
