Give Thanks

Diane came over the other night and helped me cut my deer meat. She was thanked and rewarded with a couple of packages of her own. The girls love her and she is great with them. I don't know what inspired this act of random and forced silence, but I caught them in the act and snapped a couple of shots, barely asking the question why, and never getting an answer.

Of course, she had to repeat the ritual with the smaller monkey, who was even more clueless than I of the reason. Go figure!


Coincidentally, here are a few things I am thankful for:

  • Silly friends who love my girls as much as anyone can besides me.
  • Wonderful girls who are so fun and loving and are doing very well, especially under the circumstances of life experiences in which they shouldn't have to deal.
  • A special man who has taught me many things about life, and things about myself.
  • Parents who are there for me when I need them, but let me make my own mistakes.
  • God who guides me and gives me strength.
