A Thanksgiving Wish for You
Last weekend, my husband and I shared a wonderful Thanksgiving buffet with my mom at her residence. Along with more exotic offerings were the traditional favorites: turkey that melted in your mouth, perfect stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy, sweet potatoes, assorted salads and after all that, an entire dessert room, if you were still hungry (or not.)
And this card was on our table, as a reminder.
I’m thankful for a husband who loves the outdoors as much as I do. And I’m thankful that we’re healthy enough to continue adventuring far and near.
I’m thankful that I still have my mom. She’s 93. That’s something, right?
I bet you can think of a few somethings to be thankful for, too.
If not, just look around.
At the beauty surrounding you.
And give thanks.
I’m taking a few days off from the blog. Wishing you a happy holiday and a joyous week!

Such a nice post – here’s to a happy, peaceful Thanksgiving for all!
Thanks so much, John! Hope you have a great week of Thanksgiving!
We will! the parade goes right by our building and we have reserved seats to watch it up close!
Oh cool! I forgot about the parade!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday, Susanne. (It’s just Thursday over here of course.)
Lovely photos!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete. Happy (coming) Thursday! Does England have a Thanksgiving Day? I know our neighbors to the north do ( O Canada!) but its a different day.
No we don’t have any Thanksgiving Day celebrations. (Fortunately, as it is too close to Christmas.)
(But the original celebrants of the first Thanksgiving were English settlers of course! 🙂
Those rebels! 😄

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! (Did your mom partake of any of the desserts in the “dessert room”?)
Yes, indeed! She had chocolate mousse! (I had apple cranberry crisp! My husband had pumpkin pie!)
Mmmmm. All sounding very delish!!!
A lovely post and a good reminder to all of us to be thankful, even if unlike you we don’t have a specific day on which to remember to do so! Yes, it is indeed great that you still have your mum around at 93 🤗 Like you I am thankful for a wonderful (and supportive) husband, and for the opportunities we have to travel so much!
Thanks so much, Sarah! Your travel adventures are amazing!! So much ro be thankful for! 😍
