Day Before Thanksgiving

Here I am, sitting here and thinking, I have to do some cooking today for tomorrow or I could do it tomorrow early…but then again, If I cook them now, all I need to do is re-heat it.

What can we be thankful for? With the economic in chaos and people struggling just to make ends meet…well, I guess I’m thankful that my son is doing is healthy, hubby and I are fine (sort of) and have each other to talk to and friends that I’ve met since my return to the US and we’ve celebrated 3 Thanksgiving since then…

I miss my family during the holiday season, as I am accustomed to being with them on this occasion; I come from a very large family.  On my mother side, we are growing by generations, that my Aunt has made a mailing list for all of us to keep in touch; we are all spread throughout the globe! On my father side its also a large family and I have just started communication with them recently as I lost contact with them.  My parents have retired to the Philippines and one of my cousin (on Dad side), found me thru this blog and I am so glad that he did that he has connected me to my other cousins; we all went to the same school when we were younger! The last time I saw them was when i was still in high school!

So in this prelude to the day of Turkey day…hope that you all have a wonderful gatherings with your family and friends all around!
