I came across this article while browsing the Renovare website, a place I often visit, and thought it well suited for Thanksgiving reflection. As Renovare puts it, "[The article] is an introduction to the beloved Laura Ingalls Wilder's original remembrance of the “goose that got away.” Before she ever fictionalized this incident in By the Shores of Silver Lake, Laura remembered how the outcome of a silly quarrel illustrated the concept of gratitude in her young life. This lesson carried through over many seasons of various seasoning during her long life."
