Thankful

We celebrated Thanksgiving at home with just us.  "Just us" though happens to be a pretty big group - seven people is definitely enough to justify an entire Thanksgiving feast! So we got busy getting ready.

We decorated the table with thanks.

And the set the table for a feast.

Including some handcrafted turkeys for the centerpiece.

We sang hymns of thanks.

And then came all the delicious food. . .

mmmmm. . .

We are all here,

All who hold each other dear.

Each chair is filled, we are all at home!

Tonight let no cold stranger come;

It is not often thus around

Our old familiar hearth we're found.

Bless, then, the meeting and the spot,

For once be every care forgot;

Let gentle peace assert her power,

And kind affection rule the hour

We're all -- all here.

- Charles Sprague

I am so blessed.
