Sending you and your families warm wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are headed off to explore Sicily's Nebrodi Mountains for a few days with friends. We have so much to be thankful for and while savoring our final year in Sicily, we are also starting to get excited about our next destination. We recently found out we will be moving to the Washington, DC area...history, culture, friends, family, and all sorts of other good things waiting to be discovered. We are thrilled.
I like Maya Angelou's advice about eating (step away from the counter and join the table) and yellow legal pads (write down every little thing). In between eating and hiking, I am planning to do some writing. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we all took just a few minutes to sit down with a yellow legal pad and make a gratitude list? I admit that sounds kind of cheesy, but I do believe it's true. Stopping to acknowledge and appreciate what we have is a very good and necessary thing. Hope your table is graced with good food, hope you are surrounded by love and good memories, and hope your list is very long and full. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to our family! Missing you today and hoping we will be together next year in DC!!!
How exciting that you will be moving to the D.C. area! Have fun on your little trip.
It snows in DC, you do know that don't you? We lived in Vienna, end of the Orange line metro. I'll be happy to answer any questions about the area and glad you are moving there not me
Awesome! We will be in the same time zone and state! Hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving!
I've been hoping an annoucement like that would be coming soon :) Good for you AND good for me!! Hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend :)
Yeah, I might actually see you again, as my sister lives in WDC. I would love to spend a couple years there, lucky you!
Tara in Fla.
Glad you got your next assignment in DC. I miss a lot about living in that area....except the traffic. :) Imagination Stage and the Strathmore were some of the Bethesda places we frequented together and with the kids. Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! We spent part of the weekend in NOLA and had a great time.
Thanks for all of the kind words. Hope you all had a very nice Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
And yes, Martha, I am well aware of that chilly snow issue...not so happy about that and already planning to stock up on long johns and good snow boots :)
If any of you are ever in the DC area, we would love to get together! And keep the DC advice coming we'll need it.
I remember Thanksgiving in the USA. Heaps of yummy food... and American football on the telly :)
