How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was nice. Our extended family gathered together at my cousin’s beautiful new house Thursday evening. I heard someone say they counted over 40 of us. We really enjoyed hanging out with several of my cousins’ young adult children. Most of the crowd left around 9:30 and we then sat around…
Contentment or greed?
Today is Black Friday and great masses of humanity (?) began descending upon retail establishments as early as yesterday evening, before the dishes were even washed after the annual Thanksgiving feast. In addition to the usual pushing and shoving, reports are surfacing of fights, tasering and even pepper spray! I tell you, people are nuts….
Giving Thanks
I’ve got six homemade pie crusts chilling and need to go make the filling but thought I’d share my favorite Thanksgiving hymns with you:
Thankful for what isn’t
I’ve had this post pulled up to write for awhile, trying to decide what to give public thanks for today. I have so much to be grateful for that it’s sometimes difficult to decide what to focus on for my daily November Thanksgiving posts. And then just a few minutes ago David called. He had…

It has begun to sink in that I’ve a lot to do before we go to New Orleans December 1st. We won’t return until the 12th which means that I basically have to have all my Christmas shopping and decorating done before we go. Gulp. I just spent the last little while doing some online…
Tag, you’re it!
Today I am thankful for people who demonstrate the courage of their convictions: Read about Dorli Rainey, the 84 year old woman who was pepper sprayed in Seattle here. “Activism begins with you. Democracy begins with you. Get out there, get active! Tag, you’re it!” ~Thom Hartmann
A Day in the Kitchen
I’ve been meaning to bake bread for ages. I got lazy over the summer and bought bread from the little organic bakery not far from us or sometimes from the grocery store (although I made sure it had no trans-fats or HFCS). Still, neither of these options are as satisfying as my own homemade bread….
