We need to be thankful for having someone to love........

And we need to be thankful for the brave example of good friends like Cathy who soldiered through so much medical adversity this year................

And for the bounty of an elegant table.................

And the joy of having such wonderful children....................

And an invitation to a welcoming home to celebrate the holiday with others..............

If you note the bandage on Dwight's neck, he was just days out of life saving surgery on his carotid artery when this was taken last year and this year we are doubly thankful to have him with us!.................

I am thankful for having a sensitive son who so enjoys browsing through wedding albums................

And a darling baby sister who is such a good cook..................

And the pleasure of having loving children who will spend the time and money to return home for the holiday..................

For all these many blessings--not the least of which is our baby Winston--WE ARE SO VERY THANKFUL!
