More Thanksgiving

Today I spent some time organizing my photos on my computer. I have over 11,000 (yes, 11,000) photos on my computer and they are getting out of hand. In the midst of the photo organization, my computer locked up and after shutting it down to reboot, would not restart. I thought I was going to meltdown. But after a few minutes, my Mac decided to come back to life (needless to say, I'm backing everything up tomorrow). And as a result of my organization efforts today, it is easier for me to share photos like these with you today.


In keeping with my efforts to recognize the abundance in my life, I want to say how grateful I am for an amazing childhood. It seems that a childhood like mine is harder and harder to come by in today's world and too few kids get to just be kids. So I am grateful that I got to be a kid. No one can top the memories I have of Kelton summers, of playing with cousins, of reading books for hours on end, of just hanging out without a care in the world.


There is nothing like good clean Kelton dirt for a kid. I swear my immune system is stronger for it. I think Dr. Mitch Moffitt, known for eating a bucket of dirt daily as a kid, would back me on that one.


Man, we had a good time. My parents and grandparents are largely responsible for that and so I'll sing their praises in the next few days. Thanks for the memories.
