I’m thankful for my parents, one born on a farm, and the other a “city” (albeit very small cities) girl.
They worked and played together, raising a family of four who seemed totally unable to all smile and look in the same direction at the same time.
I'm thankful for my siblings who’ve added so much to my life -
I'm thankful that I grew up on a farm where I learned responsibility and discovered that it's really hard to water the calves in the winter if you didn't bother to drain the hose the night before!
I'm thankful for parents who made time to take us camping and hiking like this trip to the Morvitz "ranch" south of Mount Baker,
that Dad made time to take us on a more significant hike during his busy season, and that they trusted me to join several high school friends on a springtime hike to a fire lookout near Mt. Baker.
I’m especially thankful for my beautiful wife who puts up with me and has for over 40 years. Together we have two wonderful children
I'm thankful, too, for all my friends who are feeling lucky they weren't included in this post!
I’ve been so blessed!
