Hi, Tonkie! Wow, what a day, huh? I'm taking a break from the kitchen to come and give you a hug, and to say this:

TO THE TROOPS:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to each and every one of you. I wish you could be at my house today. About half our guests won't be here as planned, and we have a 20-pound turkey that needs attention. Our children are scattered and spending the day elsewhere, and we would love to share it with you.

Here's the menu: Turkey (of course), home grown, hand mashed potatoes, giblet gravy made in the pan, broccoli, cauliflower, carrot veg mix, home canned sweet corn, homemade whole berry cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, deep-dish apple pie, and homemande ice cream.

If you can get away, you just come on. All uniforms welcome today! (Plus, we'll probably show a movie or two: LOTR/FOTR or Star Wars Episode II, or even Spiderman!). Sounds like a DAY to me!

Love and great big hugs to all of you. God bless you richly. And thank you for serving so proudly. We are blessed to have you as guardians of our freedom.

(Heh! I only look like this to my husband!)
