What I'm craving right now...

Pumpkin Pie!

Dressing is a close second.
(On second thought, it might be a tie.)

If you're celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, what food are you looking forward to most?
If you're not celebrating, what are you craving right now?

Happy Thanksgiving!

I didn't think I would have time to post an entry before we left for our trip, but I do. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Here are today's 100 words:
 
When I was a kid, my parents, sister, and I would go "over the river" to grandma's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Well, there wasn't a river, but we did drive six miles into town to celebrate with Grandma, my two uncles, and sometimes my cousin. I could count on certain things every Thanksgiving: my uncle Joe would always sneak olives off the tray before dinner and grab the turkey legs for himself; my dad would always carve the bird; the cranberry sauce would always be homemade; and the Packer game would always be droning on in the background.

Beautiful life

Today's 100 words:

The best part of yesterday's Fourth of July celebration was the excitement my children showed once the fireworks started booming and exploding in the night sky. My daughter, who wasn't even one at last year's festivities, squealed and giggled with glee this year, and my son--who likes to tell everyone that he's almost four and a half!--shouted and screamed at the sight of each colorful display. As they played with their glow stick necklaces on the wool blanket we had spread across the grass, my husband and I smiled at each other, and I snapped pictures, freeze-frames of beautiful life.
