Thanksgiving Rituals
Well, it's Thanksgiving day and I can smell the turkey cooking throughout the entire house. We're set to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this evening - including pumpkin pie! And for those of us who don't like pumpkin, we have apple pie and ice cream.
It's a clear, cool Sunday - the perfect time for cleaning the backyard and doing that traditional chore - raking leaves! Jennifer has been spared since she is working till 5pm today. Jamie, Meghan, and Corrie are outside raking leaves - actually, Jamie and Meghan are raking a little, messing up each other's pile of leaves a little, jumping in the leaves a little, having sword fights with rakes, and generally, having a good time!
I just looked out the window in to the backyard - they've accomplished their task - the leaves are raked and placed in plastic bags! But by the look of the trees, we'll be raking again next weekend.
