November 29--Love Overflowing

If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches. 
--Carolyn Kenmore

    My niece and I started the Thanksgiving holiday by "hard knocking" each other into a chilly 2-mile walk, leaving us with the "soft touch" of self-righteousness to eat whatever we wanted. I'm pleased to say that although there was plenty of food to OD on, I managed to eat moderately. My intake was kept at bay due to heavy-duty game playing, including a couple card games and of course, Rummikub. 
    It was a very blessed holiday because I spent it with a niece, two nephews, a niece-in-law, and three great-nephews. These are all descendants of my brother Arlie who passed in April. My niece bought the "whole nine yards" Thanksgiving meal from Bob Evans Restaurant, making the entire production so yummy and so much easier for her. 
    I was treated to a holiday video-chat with my son and the older grandson, who is becoming quite the talker. I turned in around 11pm, looking ahead to my 600 mile drive today, back to my in-laws' home in Wentzville, Missouri. 
    My guardian angels rock!!!
