I’d written in October about a new tradition – The Month of Thankfuls. So, I thought I’d share a few of them with you…

To The Beau from me:Thankful for left over sausage that made an EXCELLENT sausage egg sandwich for breakfast.

From The Beau: Beautiful weather. A great victory. (His football team won) And a beautiful woman to share it all with.

From Fred: Thankful that you still reach for and hold my hand everywhere we go.

From Fred: Thankful for the best opening day ever! Thankful for a life filled with you as my wife. [The first opening day he was home and wasn’t hunting in over 30 years. We’re blessed with romantic men.]

After they had friends over for dinner, from Gig: Thankful for taste testers! They will eat anything! Good friends!

This isn’t as redneck as it sounds from The Beau: Thankful for a good “possum” hunt!  And this classic to her parents:  Today I’m really thankful for time alone with you (Gig said, “That sounds dirty.” He said, “Put a winky face!”) 🙂

And to Gig: Thankful for all the talks we have & the humor we share since we’re hysterically funny. Had to put my glasses on cause I couldn’t tell if it said tumor or humor.

From Sis: I’m thankful for the interesting discussions with you that make me think and really look at my beliefs. [Me: I like your thankful. Sis: I like that you like my thankful about what I like about you. Me: Well there’s that part too. Sis: ROFL]

See, I am hysterically funny!

From Sis after a slow response: HEY! Aren’t you thankful for me today?!?

It had been one of those days and I’d been melancholy: Thankful that you love me even when I’m grumpy. And that you’re obedient. [she said ‘yes ma’am’ when she was starting to make me cry and I said “now hush”]

As a joke, I sent: Thankful I didn’t get caught. [Gig responded: LOL sneaky sneaky! (With that reply, I’ll call her if there’s ever a body to hide.)] Fred’s reply, “What did you do to get caught?” Husbands!

OK, I know this sounds funny, but it was the mom in me: Thankful for a kid who still puts his head in my lap & let’s me braid his hair.

We had T-giving on Sunday instead of Thursday: Thankful all the kids will be here today. We’ll eat well! Seems appropriate for the last day of Thankfuls. We may have to make this a tradition!

Hope you took a moment to be Thankful – most of us have SO much more than we need.
