Here’s something good to read about the “First Thanksgiving,” which reminds us that the Pilgrims were “people of remarkable faith and fortitude—common folk of average abilities and below-average means who risked everything in the interest of their families and their community of faith.” Americans tend to forget that and most may not even value those qualities anymore. Well, I do.

Last night we had the whole gang plus Tim and Abbie, who drove in from Indiana, over for gluten-free chili. Today we will be a smaller gathering for turkey and trimmings–the wee babes and their parents are coming later for pie and our annual viewing of Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987).

We do love our traditions.

Let’s all take a moment.
