Baked additional cookies to take to the area Fire Departments. Happily didn't burn but one batch, yeah!

Watched the Macy Day Parade. Reminded me of the Thanksgiving I got to see the parade in person. It was totally awesome to be there up close and personal. Years later I am smiling as I remember that experience and the rest of the fun I shared during that weekend with my sons and brother and his family.

Watching Santa arrive in the parade is the launching of the holidays for me.

Then it was off to deliver my cookies. A simple little thank you that has tremendous gratitude backed into each cookie. To do their job is priceless. It is certainly not something I would ever have the courage or skill to do. It has been my pleasure, my privilege to deliver a sweet little thank you to area fire departments for a long time. It has become a happy Thanksgiving tradition.

I dined at a local beach bar. I enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise. It was tasty and the view was spectacular.

Later I enjoyed the movie, "Christmas with the Kranks" it was fun. It is the third Christmas movie I have seen starring Tim Allen. If anyone wants to find a holiday smile at the cinema all they need to do is go see this movie. It doesn't have suspense, intrigue, or a road chase and violence it is nice, a delight and will make you smile.

Home now to take a bubble bath and have pleasant dreams of Thanksgivings gone by and maybe dreams of happy, fun ways to share and enjoy them in the future.

By the way my favorite part of the day today? It was hearing from the ones I love and miss so much. Happy Thanksgiving.
