Shadow Shot Sunday

Shadows of the still-blooming geraniums

outdoors on our deck,

decorated with the fallen oak leaves...

and the Christmas cactus blooms,

a sweet surprise

for the holiday season!

Our Family Thanksgiving--2009

Here are a few photos of our family Thanksgiving Day--dinner and play time together!

Our daughters, son-in-law, and granddaughters were with us for the day. It was very relaxing (most of it anyway!) and fun! We failed to get a video of Ella saying her favorite word, "cornucopia," repeatedly. She's quite the linguist.

To think that next Thanksgiving Beatrice will be chasing her sister around and around and over and under...more wine, please. :-)

We had invited a seminarian and his family to join us, since they are from the NW and weren't planning to travel. But unfortunately they got sick and couldn't come. We'll treat them to dinner when everyone is well again.

Happy Thanksgiving EVERY day!
Happy Thanks Living and Loving!

I'm Giving Thanks

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.

Know that the LORD is God.

It is He who  made us, and we are His...

Give thanks to Him and praise His name.

For the LORD is good and His love endures forever,

His faithfulness through all generations. (Psalm 100)

For great is Your love, higher than the heavens;

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.  (Psalm 108:4)

The sunset was gorgeous this evening.

I captured this photo from our deck.

The air is crisp and the sky looks wintery--

just in time for Thanksgiving Day.

I'm thankful that you've stopped to read my blog,

and wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving!

I'm giving thanks every day, aren't you?
