A Holiday Remembered
A future blogger recorded the event. This is our granddaughter, Andrea Gabriela, who is, as her Grandmother Mary says, "twelve going on thirty." I would show you the other twin, Sofia, but why? They are identical, so just imagine this girl with upswept hair and the same dress in a different blue.
We all wished that the other three grandchildren and their parents from Moscow, Russia could have been there. Perhaps another holiday!
My ex-husband and his wife Mary were there also. I had the opportunity to thank Mary again for always being the other mom for my children. Over the years, via telephone and mail, she and I have made the "big decisions" in the lives of our children when they were young.
I know from experience: it isn't easy being a stepparent but Mary and my Tall Husband have done it with tolerance, skill, grace and love. And they are still there when our grownup children need a hand. So a special Thanksgiving to you both.

Happy Thanksgiving
You are asking, "What the hell are those!?" These are Thanksgiving treasures from The Closet, a place I put really tasteless things given to me by people I love. When I was a military wife, I could tell family things like, "Oh, I'm so heartbroken but the wonderful elephant lamp you gave us got shattered in the last move." Now we have The Closet where I stash such items, bringing them out just before the giver arrives for a visit.
My twin granddaughters made these plaster turkeys for Thanksgiving when they were toddlers. Andrea (Gabi) made the one on the left and Sofia made the one on the right. I must say, I'm thankful that maturity has brought the girls an eye for finer things.
