 "There's no place like home for the holidays," the song sang.  "It's more like, 'There's no place like not-at-home for the holidays to get a break from your home,'" Dorothy commented.

• Doctors
• Family & friends
• Healthy shots
• School again.  Books
• Piano
• Lemons.  (What about lemons?)  Make lemonade
• Food
• Hugs and vaccines so we can see our friends again and planes and cars and boats and uh everything
• Nice parents
• I'm thankful...that you haven't forgotten about us  (because Sarah finally added Dorothy and Brian to her own thankful list)

• Moms and Dads that help me with stopping my worries
• Love and loving parents

Dorothy commented on Notre Dame's final score of 55-0 over Georgia Tech.  "I like how when the other team doesn't score any points, it's called a wipeout."

The Sunday Funny

We were reading a picture book about Sarah Hale, who lobbied to make Thanksgiving a national holiday.  She wrote letters to presidents in the 1800s, when "skirts were long and hats were tall," as the book said.  Dorothy added, "If I wrote this book and I wanted to tell when it happened, I would say that it was when pens were feathers."
