Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful time with family and friends today. Yesterday was a baking day for me; we are going to my aunt's house this afternoon, and it's always fun when we all get together over there. Anyway, just thought today I would sit down and write down 27 things I'm thankful for on this, the 27th day of November, 2008, Thanksgiving Day.....
