Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, and for dessert PECAN PIE! I think I died and went to heaven. Even Louise, the best cook in the universe, said Mary Garret made a mean pie. Of course Louise baked her fabulous chocolate cake. I was so stuffed that I left the grown ups talking and hid to take a nap. Wow! What a nap.

Will found me in the hammock by the pond. It stretches between two cottonwood trees and is real comfortable. I was sleeping soundly when the hammock started swinging. I squeezed my eyes shut tighter thinking he’d go away. (I knew it was Will cause he was chuckling.) Anyhow, he didn’t take the hint. I’m glad he didn’t. Without going into details–a girl has to have some secrets–my nap was over. The hammock was crowded, but cozy. And that’s all I’m saying.

I only thought about my mom … Liz … once.

I’m thankful for my friends.
