Today I visited my grandkids daycare run by our friend Mary Boudrie. My granddaughter Ava is wearing pink and kneeling right in front of me. Her sister Addison is the furthest on the right wearing green and pink, and Kyle is right in front of Ava wearing blue and orange.

We had a great time at Ms. Mary’s with all the kids being really excited about Thanksgiving tomorrow. I laid the pelts down on the floor and then let the kids handle them. They picked the beaver as the softest pelt, and as usual, the wolf was the main attraction. I showed them what the Pilgrims had to trade for the furs, beads, hatched heads, knives, blankets, small bells and such. I have made replicas of rattles, jewelry, pipes, quivers, arrows, lances, and tomahawks which the kids always like hearing about. Before I’m finished I read them the story about the first Thanksgiving in order to get their “focus” back on the really important part of my visit.

We all have so much to be truly thankful for in this “land of the free and the home of the brave!” Hope you all are blessed and get to spend some wonderful family time with your loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving.
