Happy Turkey Day to All, and To All a Happy Turkey Day!

Can you believe it's that time of year again? This year has really flown by fast. Cle and I are preparing to drive down to Estill, South Carolina along with my brother, his wife, my niece and Q boodles. This should prove to be an adventurous Thanksgiving trip. We rented a van and we are leaving at around 9, 10 pm so that we can drive through the night and hope that Q sleeps most of the 12 hour drive.

We are excited about visiting my mom. She moved down to SC back in early April for a change of space. A self proclaimed city girl all her life this was just what she needed. I am the only one who has been down to see her so it will be fun for the rest of the family to see the one stop light town, with the courthouse, town hall, and police station all in one building. The closest Walmart is about 45 minutes away and even though there are two grocery stores in Estill , there are no fast food joints in town with the exception of a Blimpee sandwich shop in the gas station. Oh and I haven't told the rest of them that they wont be able to get cell phone reception in Estill , there isn't a tower for most carriers for miles!

But oh what peace! Estill is just sooo peaceful! The people are so friendly, a far cry from the city of brotherly love. Hopefully we will all come back a little more at peace and a little more thankful. Enjoy your Thanksgiving everyone! Whether you're spending time with family and friends or spending time alone. Let this time of year serve as a time for reflection on your blessings in spite of what you don't have, what you think you should have, what you wish you
had and what you know you should have. Be joyful in spite of your circumstance "a joyful spirit is evidence of a grateful heart"- Maya Angelou
