On this special day of the year called Thanksgiving we pause to reflect upon all that we are thankful for. So, this year I am particularly thankful that we could spend this holiday with my sister, Lisa, and her family (and their Thai exchange student) in Dillon, Colorado at a friend’s condo. Colorado’s scenery is breathtaking and we got to show our Thai daughters snow for the first time among the majesty of the Rocky Mountains. How cool is that! Among the highlights were: tubing in Keystone, snowboarding in Breckenridge, a delicious dinner at Spencer’s at Beaver Run, shopping the after-Thanksgiving sales in Dillon, and all nine of us watching “Blind Side” together at a local theater (best movie I’ve seen in years).
Since my husband, Terry, is a direct descendent of Governor William Bradford, one of the pilgrims who settled at Plymouth all those years ago, I think it’s also important to reflect upon our rich heritage. How times have changed. How blessed we are as a nation and a family. We couldn’t have gotten to this place without the sacrifices of those who came before us... with a little help from our friends. What a blessing!
