'Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving...

...and I’m thankful for my friends. Friends are the people who drive you to your colonoscopy appointment, wait so they can take you home, then hang around the house for an hour or two until another friend comes to spend the night, just so you'll have someone with you. Friends are the people who, when you say you’ve bought a house, will ask “when are you moving?” and after you tell them will say “we’ll be there to help.” And not only do they show up to help, they recruit other friends and friends-of-friends to help as well. And if they aren’t physically able to help with the heavy lifting, they show up with food to feed the troops. Friends are the people who unhesitatingly invite you to join their family holiday celebrations when job obligations prevent you from being with your own family. Friends tell you about free pianos, send a sympathy card when your beloved pet dies, and take you to the airport at five o'clock in the morning. Friends do all these things and more. I’m very thankful for mine.

On the stitchy front, I finished the stitching on the biscornu last night:

My Thanksgiving plans include doing some finishing and I hope this is one of the things I get put together. I found some little yellow buttons at JoAnn's today that I think will be perfect in the middle of the sun. Hot dog!
