Thankful for those ordinary moments

• Thanksgiving Day: family, old friends, new friends, turkey, ham, wontons, taco dip, exploding flour tubs, mashed potatoes, a first pumpkin pie, apple pie, wine, Sam Adams Winter Lager, a rising moon, flash pictures at night on the new camera, God in the midst of it all...

• Black Friday: Bob and Candi at Target at 5:15am, buying Christmas presents at Sam's, finally a cool breeze and temps below 80, deep-fried Turkey and Long Island Iced Teas next door (delicious!), remembering 9/11 with New York natives, the moon through a telescope, God in the midst of it all...

• Saturday after Thanksgiving: Bob's new Ipod Touch, Greek, Carolyn putting up the tree and decorating with Kathy, grumpy dad putting on the star, more Greek, God in the midst of it all...
