Are we not so blessed?! What a fun exercise to call them out - I think I'll do that later. I especially like #59, by the way. And I never see #53 without thinking of you. "Excuse me, Excuse me, Excuse me! What? I burped."

Happy Thanksgiving, friend. Love you! :)

So, I've gotta say about #39 - ????, you've got to be kidding right? At least Vanilla wasn't on the list! :-)
Amen to #55 and I can't imagine #60 without #59. GREAT LIST!!!
I'm so thankful we were able to spend Thanksgiving with your whole family!
