Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and yesterday, I received Thanksgiving-in-a-box from Dennis and North. This is one of many boxes that have arrived in recent days. I have to thank everyone. Uncle Harold sent the biggest bag of pistachios I have ever seen, and it came in the second box in as many days! Aunt Doris sent another baking gift, this time oatmeal raisin cookies. Sorry, Aunt Doris, but they didn't survive the night. Tom continues to feed me books, at a rate that I can't keep up with. Pat supplied me with among other things, a new flavor of Gatorade. Cousin Amy sent a great box, too, arriving just yesterday loaded with all kinds of goodies. Maggie's new friend, Joan Sriver, continues to send boxes that arrive with nearly every mail shipment. Zack and Zoe have both sent books and other great stuff to eat and do. Maggie, herself continues to send frequent packages. I am not sure how she can, as some of you know, she is in the process of sending out Holiday packages to the entire battalion out here. I am not sure that she knows it, but that is simply unheard of. I think she is the inspiration for all of us. I know that she is for me.

Just in case anyone was wondering, it is now about 40 degrees and very windy. Rain is expected tomorrow, with a high of 48 degrees. Who knew?

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I think you should all eat an extra plate for me.

P.S. If I forgot to thank you for your packages, I apologize.

Jim -

Thanks for posting the Thanksgiving comnments - it was fun to read the last few ones that I've missed. It sounds like you could open a store with the amount of packages headed your way. I hope you are well - you and Maggie were one of the blessings that I asked for today.
