What we're REALLY thankful for!

What wonderful day! A houseful of family, friends, food, and love - what could be better!

Today was terrific - definitely our ”Thanksgiving”. I’ve just counted, and we fed 16 people today. Of course, we had five others over the other days of the weekend. And really, we had an almost obscene amount of food - but it was all SO good. One local friend who came said she knew we’d have vast amounts of food, so she brought a bag of bird seed for John’s bird feeders instead - loved it! Margaret and Bobby got a motel room; Matt, Amanda, and Andy decided to drive back to their respective homes; so only Jean, Jesse, and Susan are here overnight.

John’s started catching a cold, and other than being stopped up, was doing pretty well with his bruised/cracked rib. Then this evening, he had a really big sneeze that really hurt him.

All have gone to bed, and now I'm the only one up - enjoying the quiet, getting in some computer time, and savoring the day.

It’s been a special day and weekend - one we’ll always treasure!

Other than crossing the Arctic Circle, this is why we stopped at Grimsey - puffins, puffins, and more puffins!
