And another thing ...

One more thankful:

Phil and Cat Martin (and Marge) here in Laramie, for opening their home to people who, for whatever reason, couldn't be with their families today ... even those of us who had to eat and run.

You guys seriously don't know what a blessing your hospitality was today. And your creamed pearl onions.

And to Amber, who sent a picture message this morning from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. With great friends, you can see the world without getting out of bed (she also sent D.C. fireworks on the Fourth).
