Beautiful America: Thanksgiving

I give thanks for so many things. The beauty that surrounds me daily, my children, my loved ones, the opportunity to go back to school. I won't be cooking a big meal this year, as there are only two of us to eat it, but I will be remembering the ones I have lovingly prepared before, while the kids helped.

This is a glimpse into my memories… Not just meals, but family, and cooking together, and the messes, and the torpor of a couch and a book after the meal!

Floury monster hands, Aaaah!

Not Thanksgiving dinner, but my red-head loves to cook!
