As is our tradition on Thanksgiving we got the pies baked and the turkey in the oven and then we all went for a hike. usually we go a little further afield and find some actual forest/wooded park land for our hike, but this year we had a lot of rain and the trails were very mucky so we took advantage of the walk beside the river. From these photos it is hard to tell that we are right downtown. Even that little bit of nature was incredibly uplifting.
I am a person of eclectic interests and activities. I am a foster parent as well as an adoptive parent and a parent. We have 6 children permanently and others in and out. I feel as though our family has been quilted together with interesting patches and unique pieces sewn through all the layers with the stitches of day to day living.
