Most of the day was spent in getting ready for tomorrow's big feast. While chopping, dicing, and cleaning, the 50's oldies music was blasting away. We also listened to several versions of Amazing Grace. When we looked out the window there was our own Amazing Gracie taking a rest beside Juan.This seems to be a statement of what Home At Last is all about-love, trust and plenty of food.
The thing that needed cleaning most today was the refrigerator . There are only two of us here most of the time, but we had 13 bottles of salad dressing and 7 of mustard.
Like most of you, I'm sure, two of our door shelves have horse medicine.
Patches found the eggs in the little bowl lots of fun to play with. He rolled one across the floor, then went back for the other one.
The balancing of plastic bottles is an important part of fridge cleaning.
Much better. If no one notices tomorrow how clean everything is, I'll point it out to them.
On this Thanksgiving eve, we have so many things to be thankful for. We are blessed to be able to do what we do, and to be surrounded by those who help us. We thank every donor, sponsor, volunteer, friend and relative who makes Home At Last a true sanctuary.
We are thankful for those who have entrusted their beloved pets with us and those like HorseFirst (NorCal) who rescue so many needy animals. We are thankful for the Vet and farrier care, for the hay and feed, and the other businesses who have helped us so much.
We thank friends and family who keep us on track and who give us a shoulder to cry on.
We thank the little children who put in their pennies, nickles and quarters for the horses. We thank the adults who share what they can.
Thank you all for giving Thanksgiving meaning.
