Giving Thanksg.

Table set for two.

this Year DH and I decided to give thanks at home!

Long ago we used to host, had my sister and her daughters along with some of their friends,my children's friends and some of our friend too,some times it was much more that my house could FIT,It was a lot of fun. now we are all grown-up and many of us have mature enough to start our own traditions.
I'm thankful that my children have found their home away from home. I'm thankful and happy for them.
I'm thankful for the friends that once joined us for THANKSGIVING they too had to follow the path set before them in order to make a living. though they are far, they are near my heart, in this and every holiday.
My sister and her daughters, they too, have there own families to tend to. Now they take part in their own tradition.

I (we) have being invited to join Tom and Marilyn home ( Omar's in-laws) for the last 3 years, they asked us again this Year, but we wanted to re-start or own tradition and be with each other to give thanks for the fun Years of yesterday and to anticipate and welcome many new changes that the future might bring. So our new tradition is to be different and do as one needs to. sometimes it means being alone together on a day off.
So table for two is set.
