Sad but Thankful

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, we are pretty sad here at Missy Linda's house. We got news that Mr. Brett, Missy Elise, Missy Maitlyn, Missy Elspeth, and Missy Amelia will not be able to come to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving. Since last summer all of us had thought that they would be able to come and visit for a week or so around this time. They are not going to be able to make it. They will have to stay in Colorado.

We are trying to look for a bright side, though, so we are thinking of why we are thankful.
Here goes:

The whole family will not be killed at once in a thunderstorm/earthquake/flash flood.

There will be more pumpkin pie for Missy Linda.

Missy Linda won't have to clean the house.

Missy Linda won't have any excuse for not having her homework done.

Well, at least we're trying.
