So, is this saying that Brownie has family in the area? That's cool.

On Turkey Day eve, I'd like to list some of the things I'm grateful for:

1. Good family
2. Good friends
3. A beautiful place to live
4. A good pie crust recipe. 🙂

Anybody else?

Ditto on all that Jules plus the smile of my daughter. Am I getting too mushy? Forgive me, I have a night off work...

[Hiddnfox]

not too mushy at all. It brings a smile to my face when i'm on my way home from work and know that my daughter will be running towards me with her arms open as soon as I step through the door......oh god, what am i turning into, Im only 27 and im getting sappy as hell.

I'd be worried about any adult that doesn't turn to mush thinking about their young children. (Sometimes reduced to tears of anger and frustration... sometimes reduced to tears of joy and delight... That's parenthood!)

We'll see how mushy we all feel when our children are teenagers. 😉

I'm thankful we're getting an MLS team! Go Real!
