November Thanksgiving 11

Today I'm thankful for:
-hot chocolate on a cold day.
-my husband and father's tickets to the OSU-Michigan game.
-the writings of C.S. Lewis, who (as Amanda reminded her readers) passed away 45 years ago today. By extension, I'm thankful for the British educational system, which contributed to the quality of his thinking, speaking, and writing.
-Trader Joe's friendly, smaller-scale grocery stores.
-Gordon Foods, for my mother's sake.

  1. Indeed. That's a good one -- the British educational system.

  3. Yes, Martin, I'm a little jealous of them. Maybe we should have some consultants from there come over and give our Secretary of Education some advice.

    Shawna, I didn't realize Trader Joe's had made it down there. A trip to that store is a mental health break. The employees are friendly; the selection isn't overwhelming; and there's a nice mix of fun and healthy foods.
