Happy Thanksgiving!

I love all holidays but I truly believe Thanksgiving is my favorite: Texas is beautiful in the fall, there is very little (if any) hustle and bustle associated with the holiday, and the whole purpose of the day is to reflect on one's blessings. My blessings are too numerous to list here so I will lift up my top five: my parents (though deceased I am who I am because of them), my husband, my extended family, my friends, and my health.

To celebrate the holiday, we're going to Big Bend National Park with our best friends. We're having Thanksgiving dinner at the rustically-chic Gage Hotel in Marathon, TX then we'll stay inside the park in their pop-up trailer for the next four days. We're looking forward to hiking, bird watching, playing Mexican Train dominos and just relaxing.

Here's wishing all of you a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!

Sounds like a wonderful time! We'll be having a traditional Thanksgiving dinner--Brazilian style--with a couple of American guys we know who are married to Brazilians! Hope you guys have a great time!
