A day of thanks

Yesterday morning was a beautiful one. The sky was on fire from the morning sunrise. Starting early, I scurried around like a scurry of squirrels, and soon it smelled like Thanksgiving in the kitchen. Mmmmm. Memories of kitchen past. Before I knew it, family started arriving and we continued working on a jigsaw puzzle that was started last week. Lots of concentrating going on. Aunt Julie brought a new game called "Zingo". Lots of giggling going on.

Dinner done and it was time for the birthday cake. Mine! Julie baked it. Pumpkin. Perfect for a November birthday.
