Teensy oinkers!

Dearest incysor,



I hope your birthday is a good'un! 



Love,

S

I read this lj post from xoxoxtc and I just started crying.  XT, what a wise woman you are, to depart for a possibly daunting new life in an oasis of friendly community.  I am so homesick right now, and there is not a damned thing I can do to get home any faster than I already am.  When I get sad, when I get frustrated, I start to look for reasons that this painful piece of my experience, this seemingly useless piece of life I might prefer to skip, might be important to my bigger picture.  This is.  I do realize that homesick is, at the heart of it, under the owwies, an indication of being blessed.  I am so thankful that I have a home, family and community that I miss so dearly.   I am so thankful that I have been afforded the opportunity to more fully understand how important my people are to my spirit, and how much I really need to be physically around y'all.  



Lovely Denver peeps, don't think that I don't love you, I just am not near enough to immerse myself into your lives on a regular enough basis  I miss y'all too.



Update: I just got a call from my daddy, he misses me and is thrilled that I have gotten the full understanding of what being from Texas, the part of it that is in your bones, is about :)



Oh, and our menu:

Roasted Pheasant

Cornbread Dressing

Oven-roasted sweet potatoes and caramelized onions with parmesan & rosemary

brussel sprouts with bacon and garlic

homemade rosemary crescent rolls

Much Nog.



Update update: I underestimated the awesomeness that fine dining in this house.  J & A & I just prepared and ate the tastiest thanksgiving dinner I think I've ever had.  And the wine & champagne were paired fabulously.  And it's been a great day, a Thanksgiving I will be happy to look fondly upon.  I am lucky to have the people I have here too.  Surely one of you brilliant people I know will have a teleporter ready soon so we can all be everywhere at once, yes?  No?... grumumble.



Happy Thanksgiving y'all!
