Thankful it's almost Thanksgiving.

The days have been full of milking cows mostly. My knees are hardly getting used to the exercise, although I think my muscles have grown from carrying around those heavy milkers. I do enjoy my job immensely.  The only thing that could be better would be milking my own cows in my own barn. I hope that will come in time.

I think we need a bigger house. Mostly so that we can invite more people to our thanksgiving feast. The head count this year is over 25 people... and will likely increase by the time we get to the big day. Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday. Not that Christmas isn't nice as well but more of the family can come to our Thanksgiving feast. I wish I could make all the pies. I love making pie.... But with my new job I'll only have four hours each day to accomplish things this week. Therefore I'll be making the apple pie. Most people don't really do apple pie justice. They make them flatter than pancakes... but what you need to do is pile your apple slices 5 inches high because when you bake your pie the apples will shrink down.


I'm getting excited already! Well, time for this girl to go get some things done. Coffee break is over.
We have a friend in the hospital, a relative who's in hospice and a friend's grandma who just passed away. It reminds me of how fleeting time is and how precious people are. Spend time with your family. Enjoy the time while it lasts. Be thankful for the abundant blessings we have in this life.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
