Reading this made me happy! :) And excited to try the salsa and cheese spread, which sounds like perfection.

Such a timely and timeless writing. Plus, your mother's sketches are delightful. Thank you for sharing.

We usually go around the table and list something for which we are grateful, but I love the idea of making a 'grateful list' and continuing to add to it ~ a sort of living list.

From the mouth of this babe, it goes on and on and never stops!

Just the reminder I needed for today, Amie. Thank you. I'm so grateful for your writing, for our friendship, and for the internet access which brought us together! Wish I could have met your Mom. I'm grateful for her words, too.

"If you will admit to a glimmer of what they call faith, you may agree with me when I suggest it is something beyond human reach, the ultimate good, to whom thanks are due." This was so good, Amie. I declare a heart-full of faith, and I give thanks to Whom and from where it flows! You're so right at how it can spill over everything, sometimes slowly, sometimes in a rush, always profound. Love your mom's drawing - simply elegant. Fantastic post.

P.S. The butternut crumble has just been added to our Thanksgiving meal menu!
