Thanksgiving

Hard as it is to comprehend, here we are, closing fast on the end of yet another year. It's shocking just how fast time does pass. I could swear, it was only two or three days ago and we were immersed in the lake splashing and swimming away.

There are so many things in life we give thanks for at The Asylum. Hearth, home and family are at the top of the list, of course. That list is long, and seems to grow tenfold every year. This year in particular we've a lot to give thanks for.

We'll be feasting on a bird and all the fixings- well, check that. Almost all the fixings. I forgot cranberry sauce. Can you believe I forgot CRANBERRY sauce? We'll for sure be going with out it, unless I wake up at 0' dark-thirty again tomorrow and make a mad dash to acquire a can of cranberry goodness. Always a possibility, but I'm not so sure I'd give it a high probability.

Some of the things that I'm thankful for this year?

- Health. It was a rough year, but we're all coming out on top.
- Horses. Yeah, kind of a no brainer there, but horses are always high on my list.
- A TRIP! October ROCKED with the Most Amazing Trip.
- Friends. True friends. The ones you pick for your extended family. The ones who in fact, are usually more like family than family is.
- You guys. Crazy fellow equi-bloggers, who are for the most part the salt of the Earth. (There's always an exception. It's just like Crazy Uncle Filbert that lives in Poor Auntie Flo's basement. Everyone has a Crazy Uncle Filbert somewhere in there, and so does the equi-blogosphere.)

There's more, but... well, I know you all have your lists as well. Eat, drink and be merry tomorrow and all the days!
Happy Hoofin-
Mrs Mom

I know who the crazies in the basement are! HAHAHAHA.

And I'm thankful I've only been relegated halfway down the basement stairs - not full crazy yet :)

Mrs Mom said...

Thanks Wolfie! It's going to be a nice quiet Thanksgiving, and I am hoping for NAPPING! LOL

Hey Sydney, why the heck do I keep forgetting you are a far Northern neighbor??

You too Stephanie! And I'm sure I'll be around ;)

DIVA~~!! LMAO.... Giiiirlll we won't even go there, but rest assured you are NOT teetering on the edge of the staircase. You're no where near the door to the basement even! ;)

Happy Thanksgiving! Shall I toss my spare can of cranberry sauce out the back door to you? I'm not sure I can throw that hard, but I'd sure give it a try! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving! I'll be around if you want someone to talk to outside of the Asylum!

I'm sure that your Thanksgiving will be delicious with or without the cranberry sauce. Hope you're having a great day with your crew!

"LOL *snort*!" I must have glossed over that but ya, even in my semi-suspended animation status - I too know about the crazies. (grin - wink)
