i agree, its the hard times that teach us the most! i am very grateful for them, even though at the time, they can be so hard to get through. i've learned so much this year through a few of my own, things i wouldn't have learned any other way.

It is interesting to me how often you and I have similar things going through our minds...I was thinking about how we need to be thankful for the things that shape and refine us today also. The silver lining is always apparent at some point in the situation if we look for it. The older I get the more I realize that every situation present us with a choice and a challenge on how we will react and respond to it. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."

I know you have a very busy few days ahead of you, Marie. I hope you get to take some food home with you for you and Todd to enjoy after all your efforts!

Love you, Bonnie

Marie--I think you've saved me! I'm not a turkey expert, by any means! Haven't felt very successuful, and kind of dread this part of Thanksgiving--Your's looks marvellous, and sounds just perfect--I think I can do this!!!

Love the cauliflower dish--looks just wonderful!

And thank-you for the beautiful thoughts on thankfulness--it's so important to remember it when things aren't as rosy!

Yay, Donny! That makes me happy! Off to bed in a few minutes--thanks for finishing off my day so beautifully, Marie--hope your day is just lovely!

During those low times is when we finally reach our hand..up.
Turkey looks so good..doing mine and some sweetheart breast to go along with, with lots of family here, we'll need it!
Donny won...I'm amazed because the Mia did so fantastic every time with high scores. But she wasn't as great toward the end and he seemed to pull ahead..amazing!
Come say hi :D
