Thankful for ......day 3

Tomorrow is the big turkey day... and hopefully

everyone has somewhere to go to eat.. Some

chose to eat at home with their spouses.. some

choose to go to a restaurant. 

Most of us have the big table full of food. With family

around.. small and large families.  Ours is small

compared to a lot of years..  We will be 6.. one time

we were up to 17.. and we have a small house..

So for today... I am thankful for the town I live in.

In this day and age, there is so much going on.

So many in fear of their area.. and who come into

their neighborhoods. 

We are lucky in this little tiny town of 600+. We

were at 400 for many years..  But there is homes

being built.  But still we are a very low crime area.

So far.. 

We have great neighbors on all sides and down the

road from us.  We all look out for each other, yet

let each of us live our lives without snooping. Helping

when we can. 

And even though there is a few things in this state,

that drive us all nuts..  it is still a good state. Even with

others coming here and trying to change us to what

they left.. we still are good state.... a beautiful state.

God is surely in the plan, as you look around the

state.. I am sure there are many states with such

beauty,  But we seem to be a little more laid back.

And up here in the Northern end of the state this

surely is true.

And I am thankful to be a citizen of the United States

of America.  Even with all our warts, we still are a

country that comes together when the tough gets

going.  And I wouldn't want to live in any other.
