Thanksgiving 2010
we gathered in Boise to give thanks
the abundance of our lives worthy of celebration
we are blessed beyond measure
tables carefully set, the best we could provide
each marked with gratitude
amazing colorful bounty
ever gracious hosts
the five hour drive was extended by two more hours
weather made the driving white-knuckle
he brought his family, willing hands and heart
she was a delight!
a surprise gift from a sweet heart
all pitching in to make the load lighter
always arms for baby
little projects for little hands
technology and the ridiculous
the girls wore aprons and provided music...the home made variety
lots of photos
the aunt and her niece
clowning around
and the cat that finally came out from hiding
missing photo documentation:

missing photo documentation:
- 9 hours spent with Frodo in his quest to conquer the ring
- my walk with Abi to heck and gone
- BSU game (boo-hoo)!
- girls crafting adorable fabric flowers for hair and neck
- sissy's photo shoot
- pumpkin waffles and so much more yummy food
- prayer
- Joe and Lynda spinning around in their car on the highway with a semi and car swerving to miss them...yes, we watched helpless from behind
- skating around in our car
- feeling punk from the bumpy ride
- me eating a bag of white cheddar pop-corn in the car
- hanging out with Sam and Joe on the bed...interesting conversation
- i-spy with Grace
- reading "One of Those Days" to the boys
- hugs- kisses- teasing- "touched you last"

I am so glad your life is abundant and true and loving.
yet my heart leapt at the driving .
I would still be trembling.
btw, my copy of A Mormon Mother just arrived a few days ago and I already can barely put it down. So glad you had a blog post about it!
deb...so so scary...
grandma honey...actually my daughter-in-law Melissa presented me with that darling little necklace.
cath...one of the lovely things about travel is we spent a lot of time together over the weekend.
susan...you're so right about the abundance of it all.
