I’m not talking about people that live below the bridge, I’m talking about troll-like behavior. And I do mean that. You know who you are. But it *is* Thanksgiving and I do have a few things to be thankful for, not in any particular order. Lemme see…

• Having relatives of all degrees, in-laws included, who are able to bury whatever differences they may have in order to get along with each other. There are some horror stories out there that I’m glad I don’t have to live with.
• Calling from The Bridge.
• Digital cameras and accidental photos.
• Snow.
• Car window scrapers. Wish I’d’ve thunk to bring one up here this weekend!
• Being at Houghton Lake for Thanksgiving and being able to watch the lake freeze. Except that I doubt we’ll get to see that happen this weekend because, even though it is cold enough to form ice (I think), it is way too windy.
• Text messages from Africa.
• Manatees.
• And mice.
• Grok grok! What about froggies?
• Kids that grew up to be eagles, not that I can take any credit for that. Seems to me about the only two “parenting” ideas I had going into it all were that I would not argue about clothing or music. And I didn’t. (Did I?) I suppose my own clothing is probably more objectionable than anything any teenager could come up with. And I generally *liked* their music, although I can remember sometimes saying something like, “you play whatever you want but I *am* just a little tired of Ani.” You have to pick your battles.
• Thanksgiving Day parades, which are on TV right now, even though I’m not watching them. I used to *love* watching them when I was a little kid! Hey, we didn’t even have a color TV set then.
• The turkey triage (or whatever it is) show on NPR. 11 AM.
• LED holiday lights.
• Not having to deal with airlines or airports this weekend.
• Oh yeah, how could I forget? Having an oven, washer, and dryer at Houghton Lake. Although I do still miss the old Bucket Brigade plumbing system too.
• Oh, mi’se’well add football on TV too. The two days I actually enjoy that are Thanksgiving and New Year’s. Note I said “enjoy,” not “watch.”

I dunno what else but maybe I’ll think of something. What’re y’all thankful for today? Click here or on that loverly palm tree up there for a few more loverly pictures. Betchy’all can’t guess who that is in the pic on the right of the palm tree. 😉
