Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for family gatherings. My brother, my sister and I, and most of our children and grandchildren, are gathering this weekend to celebrate a grandchild's first birthday, but it is also a wonderful time to get three generations of this family together to play, talk, eat, and have fun for a couple of days at the beach. I am thankful for my daughter-in-law, Kara, who has taken the time and energy to work out all the details of this weekend gathering for 23 members of our collective families.
