Thanksgiving

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others - Cicero

Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone - G.G. Stearn

Sometimes I go about pitying myself. And all the week I am carried on great winds across the sky - Lakota Sioux

What a wonderful time of year. There is so much to be grateful for and acknowledge the hand of the Lord. Today from 9 am - 3pm we volunteered as the wait staff at Meson Sabika ( The Willoway Mansion was built in 1847 and sits on a pristine four-acre estate near downtown Naperville.) The restaurant, with an assist from their vendors & volunteers, donated some 1800 meals to those in need. I have better respect for those who spend their day on their feet being gracious. It was a wonderful family activity and reinforced how much we have to be grateful for in today's world. Brigham's friends attending U of Indiana dental school, Chris & Kristin Tobler, joined us for a few days .
