From the Land of Sky Blue Waters

No, this isn't a blog about Hamms Beer. It's a blog about me, Anne. I'm a Montana girl who now calls Minnesota home. I'm missing the mountains and my family but loving the lakes and Peter. I wanted a way for everyone to keep tabs on me. So voila mon blog.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all who read my blog! The above picture is of a Thanksgiving project we did with the kids at school. They had to cut out the turkeys and then write something they were thankful for on each feather. Lots of kids were thankful for food, school, animals, parents, grandparents, etc. We kind of discouraged kids from writing things like toys and games. The funniest response I got I let the kid write because I thought it was cute. He said he was thankful for toys, and I told him to "think bigger" and about something that really made his life better. His response? "Furniture." You've got to love kids.

Here are the things I wrote on my five feathers, in case you're having trouble reading:
green feather: home, health, food, and laughter
orange feather: Mom & Dad
red feather: hockey
green feather 2: Fredo, Tom, & Huck
yellow feather: Peter

I have lots of be thankful for, including my four day weekend that starts tonight. :) Tomorrow Pete and I are going up to his Dad's for the festivities. Friday I think we're planning to cook the free turkey that Pete gets every year from his company. Other than that, I hope we relax and find some fun things to do. :)

    C U T E !!!

    One of my kids said that they were thankful for grocery shopping. I told her she could always go grocery shopping for me. Whoo Hoo...I have a personal shopper.

    Kids are funny. I played the whole Thanksgiving Day with my little cousins (2, 3, 5 and 10). Built stuff, I teached them how to play pool and my parents pool table, and we passed out from after a big meal watching football.

    It was good to see them. And what was even better is that when they got annoying I just gave them back to 'Mommy & Daddy'. That's what I'm thankful for.

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
