| Pumpkin pies for tonight |
Just in time for The Season of Pumpkins and Giving Thanks my sister graduated from her medical professional program last night. Woo hoo! Congratulations, Sister!
She has already been seen using her LPN certification (as an excuse) to jab little kids with needles and explain to confused family members that Nana's hearing is perfect, she's just been ignoring you.
Our parents came from Florida to celebrate and we decided it would be efficient to also have a Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner while they are in town. I mean who doesn't love efficiency? And getting two Thankgivings isn't bad either.
It's our tradition to go around the table and say something for which we are grateful. Usually I make a funny joke. I have given thanks to everything from inky pens to wonder bras. Don't worry, jokes will still be made but a Virginia Woolf quote came to mind. It's a good one, writers, so get out your inky pens and jot this down.
"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
-Virginia Woolf, A Room Of One's Own
Well, Ms. Woolf, I have both of those things and am so grateful. Without them I wouldn't be able to write my fiction. And if I wasn't able to write my fiction...well that would be dark times, dark times for me and all who know me. Of course, I am grateful for more than that. Here are some fun pictures of things I am thankful for...

Jabbing little kids... indeed. I would like to include in my world of thanksgiving--character band aids, gel polish and Monica's sense of style...it warms me inside like a toasty baked apple ( more on this, this evening ) xo Melissa
ReplyDeleteHaha, I have yet to try out this gel polish. It sounds pretty impressive.
