Thanksgiving

Well, our Thanksgiving was great. It was very calm and quiet. Chris had four whole days off and we just spent them hanging out watching football. Chris told a friend at church that we were doing my favorite thing. (laying around and watching t.v.) Unfortunately, I have to disagree. I am a little burnt out on football but know that this is my lot in life and am willing to make the best of it. I did a puzzle which was nice and I worked yesterday (not nice). Today I am back at jury duty which is another word for sit in a room for undisclosed amounts of time staring at thirteen people you don't know waiting for court to begin. I was asked to be here by 8:50am but we didn't go into court until 11am. It is grueling. I don't have internet in the conference room so I have to wait until my break to connect with the real world.

Here are a few things I am thankful for.....

1. that we have a justice system
2. my family
3. my home
4. our town and church community
5. There is no football on tuesday or wednesday and not usually on fridays
6. Diet coke (got called out on that once and will never forget again)
7. Pumpkin pie
8. warm gloves
9. my fire place
10. I haven't needed a lawyer for anything........yet.

I leave you with a joke that Jonah made up this weekend.

Why can't Lewis and Clark play basketball?

Because they travel!!!

He is very clever.
