I am grateful for a safe trip to Vancouver

I am grateful for the Pacific Buffet, and for turkey and brussels sprouts, among other delicious things.

I am grateful for easier and more pleasant travel with kids, the older they get.

I am grateful for a nice visit that included singing Christmas Carols and playing guitar with my in-laws this evening.

I am grateful for circumstances that led to my sister in-law and niece being here from Portland at the same time we are.
