Winter is meant to be cold, and the frost is all around us each morning as we wake up - 16 degrees F this morning. We are thankful for many things this Thanksgiving Day, but the first thing that always comes to mind as we wake up is that we don't have to stoke the fire with wood and coal - the house is already warm, and we are protected from the cold. We realize that there are many in the world who do not enjoy these blessings. The turkey is in the oven, everything else is ready for final preparation for our meal - leftovers will last for days, and for that, I'm particularly thankful. I did not take time to prepare the turkey as Dwight suggested in his Curmudgeonly Professor blog, (dental floss???) but it will be delicious - never fails. We are particularly thankful for family, and for the means of communication that knit us together, even though we are miles apart. Thank you for being upstanding, good people, and for keeping your families safe. We are proud to be your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, and brother and sister.
