Can I re-do my list now after reading yours?!?! You have lots of stuff that didn't really even cross my mind!
You lost me after I saw Dorian's picture. :)
Hmm, I really like the cookie dough one. I am grateful for that, too, especially when it is chocolate chip-peanut butter-oatmeal cookie dough. :) Mmmmm.
Give your family lots of hugs and kisses from me when you see them. I miss you all so much.
an excellent list!
Happy Thanksgiving!
