Oh my, friends, can you believe it’s Thanksgiving already? Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. When I was young, my mother would make an elaborately scrumptious breakfast of bacon, eggs and blueberry muffins, and then we’d all huddle around the living room television and watch the parade. Then, after we’d had our fill of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pie, my father would inevitably fall asleep by 4 o’clock from turkey overconsumption. But you know what? I am so very grateful for those lovely memories.
So, tell me, friends, what are you grateful for this year? Here’s wishing (as I metaphorically raise a tall glass of apple juice in the air) everyone a Happy Thanksgiving full of love, laughter and of course a second helping of pie — with extra, extra whipped cream.

YES! For pie and extra whipped cream!
I'm thankful for my family and all the blessings we've had. That all of my family is still with me, that we have a home, etc.

白蟻屬於等翅目昆蟲，台灣地區共有４科12屬16種白蟻，其最具有危害潛力的是台灣家白蟻、黃肢散白蟻和黑翅土白蟻。白蟻體軟弱而扁，白色、淡黃色、赤褐色或黑褐色都有，各種不同種類體色不一樣。口器為典型的咀嚼式，觸角念珠狀。有長翅、短翅和無翅型。具翅種類有兩對狹常模質翅，翅的大小、形狀以及翅脈序均相似，故稱之為等翅目。白蟻的翅經短時間飛行後，能自基部特有的橫縫脫落。

Happy Thanksgiving!
I had awkward Thanksgivings all growing up with my hyper-conservative Dad's side of the family. It wasn't until I was living in Seattle on my own and I had it with a bunch of friends and I thought, "Hey! Thanksgiving is fun!"
I'm very thankful that my life is pretty much always fun now! I love my day-to-day, I love making music and I love blogging and finding treasures like your blog!

Thankful that I had both my kids at home and my parents to visit. And glad I decided not to cook and clean. Went to China Buffet and had a great time! Could be a new tradition?
