Haiku Friday: Thanksgiving Edition

Haiku Friday


Just enough turkey
on my plate to enjoy it,
didn't overeat.

I skipped the stuffing
and we skipped the overnight:
good to be back home.

DB had nuggets,
warm crescent rolls; for dessert
peanut butter cup.

Didn't fight with him
at all about what he ate
pleasant all around.

Husband's family
of origin issues are
another story...

Whatcha gonna do,
it's only one day a year,
the rest to ourselves.


We all went around and said something we are thankful for:
* Skids and Mudflap the ice-cream twins Tranformers (new as of yesterday)
* Judy Moody books that have gotten DB to enjoy reading
* That our niece/cousing.granddaughter's recent surgery went well
* That we live in America
* That we were together and travelled safely
* Employment
* Our clients

It was nice. Plus, I have a sour-cherry pie here at home from the school fundraiser last week, and boy is it good! So that's my Thanksgiving treat.



Would you like to haiku today? To participate in Haiku Friday, just follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. It or they can be part or all of your post, but your post must include a haiku. What's a haiku, you ask? Hint: 5-7-5. More info: Click here. Or here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON'T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Please leave a comment after linking, thanks! (Eventually the Mr Linky links go away, I think, so they only way we'll find you in the future is via your comment.)

4. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top of this post.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will carry on the esteemed tradition of deleting any links without haiku!

Sounds like a good time was had by all! I shared things I'm grateful for at Sacred Ruminations yesterday (though NOT in Haiku). My Haiku Friday Sky Watch is at Happily Retired Gal this week. Seems I've used up all my free photo space for Blogger and will have to pay a fee to share more photos on those blogs. Such is life!
Hugs and blessings,
