Thankfulness -Day 26

Today, I am thankful for leftovers. I’m sure many of you will agree with me. Yesterday, and before yesterday, many of us spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen. The food was plentiful and delicious. Today, with all the leftovers in the refrigerators, we have time to do other things. One of the best things I got to do today was to meet my new great nephew, Grant Ripley, who is two weeks old.

I’m enjoying some early reports of shoeboxes being prepared for specific destinations. I don’t have any information about our shoeboxes. All I know is they have been sent to Charlotte, NC.
