Holidays...

They seem to bring out the best and the worst in the people in my family. But this is not what I want to write about this beautiful late fall day--full of sunshine and a few high clouds and warm at 56 degrees. Not bad for the end of November. We will have turkey and ham and sweet potatoes and a fruit platter by Alexandra from her "Kids' Cookbook." And a chocolate pecan pie and a sweet potato pie. And I will be thankful for this year and its many trials and blessings, as all are cause for gratitude.
