Yesterday we had the third beautiful Thanksgiving feast of this season, at Jamie's, with most of the family in attendance. It was truly one of our happiest family gatherings, at least in my memory. There seemed to be a free-and-easy sense of cordiality and togetherness among us, with small conversations going on around the house and everyone seeming relaxed and satisfied and excited about the season. I had good conversations with Gabe, with Luke and Rachael, with Noah, with Annie, and many brief chats with many others. It was a day full of thankfulness for me.
