THANKSGIVING  2012.........

 

 

 My Thanksgiving Cactus is blooming, and what can that mean?..........

 Well, since the Feast of St. Gregory, the Wonder Worker is past, that can't be it............

 Of course, since that is Sisi's Birthday, she thinks November 17th was grand.....

 But my cactus is actually heralding that Today--November 26th, is Thanksgiving Day--a time to give thanks for all we have been given.  This year, I feel blessed to have my health, my family......

And, of course, my wonderful husband--Dwight................

 We are thankful to be invited to share the Thanksgiving meal with neighbor and friends....

 Including our exhuberant hostess........

 We are also thankful that she checks the directions when cooking..........

 We are also delighted to be able to share the meal with Karen's Mom who is both witty and wise....

 And a whole group of totally delightful folks.............

Let us give thanks............(photos courtesy of Karen)

 Dwight is thankful for all the delicious desserts......

 This year, we are all thankful for Grandpa "D" and all his hysterical bon mots............

 Winston is thankful for his life of constant luxury......

 Mei Toy is thankful for her cute little sweater to keep her warm after being shorn at the groomers....

Topaz is grateful for plenty of camouflage to hide from the others.........

 Winston is also thankful for his very own cushion near the heater.....

 This lovely little bird is thankful for some fresh water...

 And we are thankful for his lovely song......

 We are very thankful for our lovely city and our precious country that we have such high hopes for after the inspiring recent elections......
