Belated as this may be, it is still Thanksgiving Day, even on the Snow Coast, though only for another 10 minutes. So, HAPPY AND MEMORABLE THANKSGIVING wishes were wished for you all today. I hope family and friend time was precious and promises made in sentiment will come to fruition in reality. We need to be more responsible to and with our loved ones. Not saying the right things but following through in doing them. I say that more for myself than anyone else. Platitudes are so easy but taking the time ... not so much. This past few months have taught me that nothing remains unchanged no matter how much you want it to be. Today, thanks was given for the knowledge that soon I will be closer to my siblings, Steve and Cheryl Lock, Jerri Streeter and yes, even my little brother Tim Freeland and to all their children and grandchildren. I will be close to our very own precious, beautiful, kind, loving, spirited and adorable daughterCheriEstelle Robert Dodd and to our beautiful natured and gorgeous, selfless, charitable and magnificent Daughter in Law, Diane Dodd! Both of whom will be just a few steps away from a hug or kiss. We will also be close enough to torment, love, cajole, irritate, kiss all over and hug tight our precious, sweet, kind, talented grandson, John Robert Dodd. I am very much looking forward to spending lots of time with my cousins, Robert Freeland who was my best friend as a child! Who was my partner in fun mischief and who was so loyal and so awesome while we were young. I am so excited about getting to know Edward Freeland and Lynda and Jose. Of course there are more of the Freeland Clan in Vegas and time will make those memories. I am also mindful and grateful for being surrounded by so many friends SO MANY quality loving charitable and absolutely selfless friends. They have really made our lives so much more than we made them ourselves. I am deeply grateful to God, my creator, for the Faith HE has embued in me. It is being exercised daily. I am surely most grateful for the perfect life companion in the man HE gifted to me for a lifetime of wonder, Andre Robert! My Ricky Ricardo to his Lucy! I am always getting him into something. He is such a good sport. Today, as I packed my kitchen I apologized for each time I showed a lack of gratitude for my kitchen over the years.I will really miss it. As I washed each dish tonight knowing it would be the last meal I would cook in my kitchen I said Thanks. I am not at total peace with leaving our independence and beautiful life here but I am eternally grateful our daughters have generously changed their entire lives to put up with us and put us up. Hopefully there is someone out there who needs this house and the perfect circumstances will exist to bless that someone and us with the sale of our home. Andre has really made the yard beautifully private and it is a fruit bearing yard. I hope for all our friends remaining here in the flow zone that it never makes it down here. I hope it will finally be coming to an end after 3 decades of constant flowing. That would truly be something for grand thanksgiving for the next year. May you all carry todays feelings through the coming season and into the next year. Love and blessings to you all. Thank YOU each for being our blessings this year.
