Thankfuls 21-30

Day 21 - Thankful to be able to enjoy an organ and clarinet concert via Congregation Beth Israel as a bit of a break in a long and hectic day.

Day 22 - Thankful that my mother felt like sitting up at table for supper, first time in a week!

Day 23 - Same as always, thankful for this guy! (He's bigger now and has less hair.  )

Day 24 - Thankful for kind and helpful and thoughtful neighbors.

Day 25 - Thankful to finally finish a major deal at work, so now I can get back to normal(-ish) work, at least for the rest of this week.

Day 26 - Thankful for people who are kind and friendly during everybody's frantic pre-holiday last-minute shopping. Also for a station playing classical music, not Christmas stuff.

Day 27 - Thankful for family, and that we are able to gather together and enjoy each other's company. Thankful for the food on the table, and that we can share it with others. And thankful that Mom made sure to get my great-grandmother's special pumpkin pie recipe!  [I forgot to take a photo before we ate it, but it was YUMMY.]

Day 28 - Thankful that we do not need to try to get anything from a Black Friday sale, and that I can stay in the office and home, watching football and eating leftovers for dessert. Also that I was finally able to catch up on some very tedious administrivia because of the quiet at work.

Day 29 - Thankful that my parents are still as compos as they are, with spirits and brains willing even as their bodies decide that a nap is the better way to spend an afternoon. Well, semi-napped and directed my willing hands and feet to help clean out closets and reorganize the master bathroom - thankful I can help them!

Day 30 - Thankful to reach the end of another month, and another year, and have things to look back upon and forward to and more adventure ahead that I haven't anticipated yet. As Stan Lee always ended his messages: EXCELSIOR! 🚀
