A Thanksgiving classic. It kills me every time. Thanks for the link, Dad.
Also, Mom stopped by, and I sent Emily out to look for leaves for the centerpiece with her. A task that used to be mine, that I’ve now foisted off passed on to my daughter.
As you can see, Emily decided to dress for the holiday. At 9am this morning. Heh.
This morning, I was awakened by my daughter coming into my room and telling me, “Today, you need to start knitting me a new doll. This doll will have green eyes and red hair. And a pink dress… with a heart… that says “Elizabeth.” Note artist’s rendition to the right.
Because I was asleep, I muttered my stock response. “Okay, sweetie.” I wonder if she’s figured that out yet. Hmm…
This child couldn’t say the words “yes” and “no” at age 2 1/2. So even though this is an utterly outrageous request, I’m very thankful for it.
Do you have something in your life which might seem to be a negative that is actually something to be grateful for?
