Happy Thanksgiving!
I pray your day is blessed with all good things and you are surrounded with family, friends, and love.
The Pilgrims
In the year of 1620
on a cold December day
a hundred and two pilgrims
sailed into Plymouth Bay.
Still weary from their voyage –
still gracing winter’s chill –
they kept their sights on freedom
with courage, work, and will.
Pilgrims did not stop to think
of riches, fame, or glory
while bravely playing starring roles
in our new nation’s story
by Bobbi Katz
I’m so thankful the pilgrims didn’t give up. I’m so thankful that God gave them the will and stamina to keep pushing forward when obstacles kept popping up in their way. I am thankful they came her for religious freedom. I am thankful that, for now, we still benefit from that religious freedom. I see our freedoms and the right to choose being taken away more each day by a government that seems to have completely forgotten that our Constitution gives us rights and that this country was founded for freedom. And I have to remember that true freedom never has and never will come from man – true freedom only comes from God above.
I pray we can all put our trust in God, that He will see us through the coming days, carry us when needed, and bless us each and every one.

I am making sweet potato souffle and bringing rolls to our niece’s home to celebrate with extended family! Our kids are scattered between Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Washington and Hawaii and none of them will be home for Thanksgiving – hoping to see some of them for Christmas! Hope your day is filled with family, food and joy.
Yummy. Hope your Thanksgiving was awesome and that your family will be home for Christmas!
Our Thanksgiving meal included turkey, chuck roast, stuffing, mashed potatoes, beef and turkey gravy, collard greens, corn pudding, sweet potato casserole, green beans,deviled eggs, rolls, cherry pie, peach pie, apple pie, pumpkin pie and rice krispy treats with coffee, milk & pop. What a blessed and thankful day for me and my family.
YUM! That sounds like the kind of spread my Grandma would have made!
Certainly hope your and your family had a spectacular Thanksgiving and every body ate too much as we are wont to do. Enjoy your weekend
We had a great time, we did eat too much, and it was just lovely being with my sister, bro-in-law, niece, nephew, and brother!
We had turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, dressing, green beans,
corn, cranberry salad and pumpkin pies. It was all good!!!
Yummy! I love thanksgiving dinner! We didn’t have as many side dishes this year since it was just my sister’s family, my family and my brother. We knew the kids wouldn’t eat the side dishes so we didn’t bother to fix them 🙂
That poem is sweet.
Your photos are gorgeous ~ as always!
Thanksgiving dinner was a good time. In the words of dear Uncle Chuck, “My aren’t we blessed?” In the words of King David, “Who am I and who is my family that YOU have brought us thus far?”
I thought of Uncle Chuck when we sat down to Thanksgiving dinner out there! We are indeed very blessed.
