Thankful

I hope you're gathered with friends and family to celebrate this year. Yes, life is not all gravy and pie, but most of us have blessings to count.

I'm grateful for the impending birth of my first grandchild, who is due to enter the world in the next two weeks. Perhaps it's unwise to count this little blessing in advance, but I can't restrain myself.

I plan to be in Texas helping out -- and blogging -- from Baby Girl's arrival through Christmas.
