We had dinner with Uncle James. I have a turkey breast and all the trimmings to treat him, but he wanted us to join him at Fletcher House where he lives so that it could be his treat. After dinner we took him out for a ride through the countryside. All in all a very pleasant day.
Top of the morning to you, Gilly, I guess coming to this continent was such a hardship taming a wilderness that just surviving caused celebrations that created traditions. I know your cousins in Canada had their Thanksgiving celebration in October. Maybe you could be the one to start a new tradition in January for a grand occasion. I'll leave it up to you to find the cause for celebration.
Ernestine, The longer I live the more I understand that we can keep 'it' simple and fill 'it' with love and that is enough. 'It' being whatever we are doing at the moment.
Welcome to my spot in this virtual world of the internet.
We are each traveling on our personal journey but it is nice to be able to talk and walk together for awhile. If you care to leave a note I will be sure to respond as soon as I can.
This is a place to think out loud, to explore those things that interest me and to ramble on about whatever strikes my fancy at the moment.
I'm in my seventh decade and just delighted to be here. I live in the country just outside a small mountain town in Tennessee. I quilt, I am a Tai Chi player, I sing in our church choir, I am a Hospice volunteer.
I'm blogging to keep up with a couple of my children and their children.

I'm sure he was glad to have family to spend the day with. It sounds very nice and you have beautiful countryside to drive through!
Sounds a great idea to have a public holiday right in the middle of winter!! Cheers everything up!
We have to wait until Christmas, and then after that its Easter. Long, cold, dark haul with no frivolity or cheer!

Your prayer says it all!!!
