Let’s see, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We should all know what to be thankful for, so no sermon.

However, the past few days gave me a few special treats to be thankful for, too.

Thankful to be  able to “get out of Dodge”  for a few days. Thankful that my wife and son got the family room painted and back together, while I was gone. Thankful for over 800 miles of safe driving. Thankful for being able to spend some time with one of the daughters and her hubby and the kids. Thankful for attending my wife’s aunt’s 90th birthday party. Thankful for the chance to visit an old college buddy for a few minutes- first met him 48 years ago. Thankful for the quick drive-by view of the historic buildings and monuments of DC.

Thankful for the change of pace for a few days. Thankful to be home again with my bride.
