oh so thankful...

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with Jeremy and Nana here yesterday...the food was great (yes patting myself on the back) and the day was relaxing.  It was 60+ degrees and George got 3 walks.  We had the windows open and after our Thanksgiving feast (best turkey ever...rubbed it with orange marmalade and butter and it was so good) we all napped (!) then got up and went to Skyfall. 

I thought it was the best Bond movie ever, although Casino Royale is a very close 2nd.  He is my personal favorite Bond.  I LOVED it! 

So much to be thankful for, but here are a few of my "things"...coffee, when my gravy is "perfect" (thanks to my immersion blender!), the excitement of the holiday season, having us all under one roof, George and Charlie, my very nice in laws, my husband who works so hard, leftovers, good wine, red toenails, snowflakes that don't accumulate, Peter's hugs, Emma's college stories, living in freedom, our recent gorgeous sunsets and feeling truly blessed.

Now onto the Notre Dame v. USC game tomorrow...biggest game!  The Irish are the only undefeated team and bent on getting to the National Championship...it's been a wild but FUN season! 

Emma goes back to Butler on Sunday, but she'll be home for Christmas in 3 weeks!  YAY!!!!

All is well....can't wait to have you all here for Christmas!!!!!  xoxo, H

p.s. wish me luck with my interview on Monday!
