It's always a bit ironic that one of the hardest days of the year for me to post a thankful list is thanksgiving. The internet at the cabin isn't the easiest...and I really don't want to step away from family time to make a post. And the other issue is that there's usually way too much to post about (and the more pictures, the longer it takes the internet to work)(or something like that) But something just seems wrong about not posting on Thanksgiving. So this year there was a pretty normal thankful thursday list....and now the abundance post (and I already know this won't include it all). Giving thanks for thanksgiving.
