Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a yummy and fun Thanksgiving at my mom's this year. We had been scheduled for rain, but the weather was gorgeous... sunny, warm and clear. We ate a traditional Thanksgiving meal that was mostly-microwaved but really delicious!! I think the longest anything took to cook was 20 minutes. ;-) Steamers mashed potatos are so good and crazy easy. I also made Steamers corn in a butter sauce that was yum - the corn was crisp and sweet. Mom made fresh green beans with sea salt, and sweet potatos with drizzled real maple on top. I made a salad that had cranberries, carrots, mini colorful tomatoes, and pine nuts... We also had butternut squash ravioli, rolls, cranberries, wine... Oh yeah, and a turkey and stuffin'. Mmm - I love Thanksgiving food.

After eating way, way, way too much (did I mention there was also appetizers??) we took the pugs for a walk on the beach... ahhh, it was so gorgeous!!! Absolutely perfect night.

I am so thankful for my blessings. I have a loving husband, incredible family, busy trimming career, awesome pets, a cute home, beautiful horses, amazing weather... I could go on and on. I read the Daily Word as grace for Thanksgiving dinner - and here's the ending quote, my favorite...

If the only prayer you ever say is "thank you," that would suffice.
