1. I am grateful that these little gratitude posts are easy to do one-handed and get the urge to write handled.
2. I am grateful for pie pumpkins and encouragement from friends — this year, I’m going to bake a pumpkin pie from scratch (even if it’s prompted by a canned pumpkin shortage).
3. I am grateful for the turkey brining in the fridge.
4. I am grateful that we have enough bread in case we don’t have enough bread flour to make egg bread for french toast (I may not be Jewish, but I can definitely appreciate challah).
5. I am grateful that we found the last boxes of Christmas decorations and gift wrapping items. (It was right in front the whole time!)
I plan to share a picture of the baby at some point, but I don’t seem to get quality two-handed time. He likes to monopolize it, and I tend to be too happy to oblige his cute little bobble-head. They say you can’t spoil a baby — although you can get into habits that will indeed spoil a toddler. 😉
Okay, somebody needs to explain this brining a turkey thing to me. EVERYONE is blogging about it. I’m so out of the loop. Does this make me old? (Or is it the 15 year old sophomore who is learning to drive…)
Happy Thanksgiving, Meredith! Thinking of you. Big hugs.
