Thankfulness

My absolute favorite holiday is the one we just celebrated - Thanksgiving. My children think I am nuts to choose that one as my favorite. "What about presents at Christmas? Candy at Halloween? Or Valentines in February?" They say. But to me Thanksgiving conjures up memories of being at Kickup, our family farm, outside Atkinson, North Carolina with my Grandmother and Granddaddy Moore, my Aunts and Uncles and all my cousins. We ran in the corn fields, played in the pond, and dressed up in Aunt Trish's old prom dresses. My family has since sold that farm but the memories of those fun times will always be with me. I am thankful to have them.
