[november morning]

thanksgiving is just the three of us. a quiet day - we make breakfast - watch the parade - go for a nice long walk along the river. today we stopped for hot chocolates along the way - annie and i like to hunt for pine cones that we can glitter for the holidays. this morning there were none. they were all hanging onto their branches. not sure if it's the warmer temps but we'll try again another day. we cooked a delicious meal - watched movies. it's so nice not to have to travel. i do miss my family - we're scattered everywhere. but the good thing about having a heart is the ability to fill it with all kinds of love. i am so thankful for so many things, good health, good friends, my family and wonderful memories. oh how i love november.
