Not So Grounded

Giving Thanks for Unbounded Peace

Sweet potato casserole (part with marshmallows, part without), creamed corn, green beans almandine, apple crisp ... Debbie's made the turkey, Laurie some mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie ... grateful for family and friends both forever here and momentarily gone.  Wishing all unbounded peace this Thanksgiving day and beyond.

San Francisco Writing for Change
