HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and yours!

I am wishing you time with family, friends,food,fun and relaxation on this weekend, and hopefully many reasons to be thankful.

We had a gentle reminder this past weekend on Sunday, and personally I was reminded that even with the loss of loved ones we can be thankful.
