Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Federally Mandated Day of Thanksgiving to God.

Frankly, I am thankful for every day ... good or bad, each represents another opportunity to learn, to grow, to be humbled, and other things that are best said on the inside of a Hallmark card.

Today I have made my second Gingerbread. I made one last night. I came home from work with a little extra coffee on board and decided to make it early. Great idea, wasn't it? Until the darn thing cracked diagonally. So I had to start over again this morning, used a tube pan instead of a nine-inch square. So, I have a bonus Gingerbread that I will be able to enjoy. I'll probably take it into work tomorrow.

My sister is in London. She went on business, but is now staying with friends. Her friend's husband is going to attempt to make a traditional American Thanksgiving Dinner.

I didn't know that Brits had turkeys. Or cranberries.
