HAPPY THANKSGIVING from La Bloga

 

I am grateful for many things but especially for the wonderful people in my life 

both personally and professionally, 

family and friends. 

They all add spice to the pot luck of my life.

familia sedano is especially thankful to see our daughter's familia building their dream 

home on their gorgeous land, 

and that they've moved in with gramma and grampa during the building year. 

We get to be gramma and grampa every day.

And I'm thankful for 9 years of La Bloga. 

¡Adelante toward a decade!

 I am thankful for my kid and my husband, who put up with me; 

for my beautiful grandhedgehog Lía;

for my Güelita en el cielo, who taught me how to make Cuban stuffing;

for my friend Emilia, who baked 7 pies for our dinner for 7;

for my students, who teach me so much;

for bilingual publishers, for believing;

for the folks at Rosa Linda's in north Denver, who for 29 years have been feeding the needy,
for reminding us what Thanksgiving is about:

"¡Toca puerta, ten una conversación, adopta a una familia!
La persona mayor que está sola, el veterano, el inmigrante recién llegado,
no te necesita solamente hoy..."

Por La Bloga que nos permite compartir con otros soñadores.

A todos ustedes:
¡Feliz día de San Güibin!
