Here's (who) Makes Me Thankful!

I know everyone can't say that 'family is a blessing' but I can truly say that IT IS!! My sister, Dianna, just came to spend a week with me here in Franklin, TN. She is such a blessing. She helped me unpack my things that had just arrived from Texas. We spent hours driving around the area and seeing the sights (such as Alan Jackson's house) ... amidst beautiful scenery. It's absolutely beautiful here this time of the year. The leaves are all turning orange, red and yellow (but I'm sure will soon be falling to the ground). Another marker that the end of the year is drawing to a close. Hard to believe in spite of all that has happened this year.

My time with Dianna went much too fast! But I know she'll be back. All of you should be blessed with such a wonderful sister (and guess what)...there are more of them!! (wonderful sisters that is). Dianna is outgoing, bubbly, insightful, discerning, encouraging, fun, and just a joy to have around. One night, while driving, we got to laughing so hard that I could barely see well enough to drive. Although it was probably dangerous, I don't think I've laughed that hard since I was in England!

Thanks, Dianna, for all the wonderful memories we made while you were here! I love you, sis!
