Something to be thankful for: fishing in Trotman Creek, (Carters XRd/Indian Neck/Wildside, Gates County.

This if from a Thanksgiving visit to Mom's back in 1999. Today both the kids are driving to our house on their own. Beth, the short one in the distance, drove in from Raleigh where she works for PNC Arena. Emily, the one fishing, is driving in today from Baltimore where she is getting her International Public Health PhD at Johns Hopkins. Kitty, the taller one in the distance, hangs out with me most of the time. There's several other things to be thankful for.

Look only at your thankful things today.
