On Thanksgiving

From an email my mom sent to Zana:

It has always been my favorite holiday and the kids are good to try to keep the tradition...That and our friend Mickey who has generously said we could gather at her house!  We'd have a tough time doing it at my little house.  I think we are up to 20 now and that is just how we like it....It's about a good meal with family and folks who maybe don't have a spot any given year for Thanksgiving, and a chance to look at everything we have to be thankful for.  Even after the last couple of years, I can honestly say I am so very very blessed.
