thanks
I know that it’s been ages since I’ve posted anything—we’ve been swamped here, preparing for the holidays, reading and writing (I have a stack of twenty young adult books that I’m cruising through; and my own novel is at 81,369 words. Whew.), and hosting five authors for an Author Showcase (which I’ll be telling you all about, later).
But today, my family and I are just hanging out, making food and drinking coffee in our pajamas, slowly decorating the house—boxes of ornaments are behind me, but the stockings have been hung…
(I can smell the pumpkin pies we just stuck in the oven… yum.)
Outside it’s a perfect Novembery day, drawn in shades of grey and brown, red leaves scattered on our lawn.
Nearly anything I can think of to say about Thanksgiving will be cliché, as you’ve all heard it before. So I won’t say it. I’ll let you fill in the blanks.
(But I do feel very, very blessed.)
I hope you all have wonderful days, wherever you are, enjoying the food, the football, the family—doing whatever you do to celebrate. Happy Thanksgiving!!—jl
