Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you're all enjoying your turkey out there. Thanks for visiting our blog on a holiday. While I'm on vacation, and until I get around to actual pictures of Thanksgiving Day, please enjoy our local library Thanksgiving story time.

We read books about Thanksgiving (in which the librarian skipped the lines about prayers, thus leaving an unfinished rhyme. I was sitting close enough to be reading along. I know. Too close.)

What's not to love about Thanksgiving stories, Thanksgiving crafts, and Thanksgiving food? (and ham. That's not really a traditional Thanksgiving food, but it was still good.)

This one's for you, Mary. Even in the United States. It's universal. Like saying "cheese!"

I love this cute lady and her cute kids. We always run into each other at the library and the park, and she always talks to me. So friendly. I am thankful for friendly people, because I suspect that I am not always one of them, but I would really, really like to be.

I am also thankful for librarians. Ms. Erica and Ms. Julie are our children's librarians and they rock.


Oh yes, the crafts. Pumpkins, acorns, squash, turkeys, and leaves. And long ribbons. And coloring. Coloring to Ellen means filling every white space completely in with as many colors as possible. Coloring to Jack means drawing a long, squiggling line with one color and calling it good.

Happy Thanksgiving! And please, don't forget to give thanks. Or skip the part about thanks on purpose.
