A Day For Giving Thanks...

Today is a quiet day for me.

After having 2 meals of turkey with

all the trimmings in the last 5 days,

and now that me Mum has left,

I am using today as an extra day...

one to do something fun.

I have a quilt to start,

gifts to sew for my coworkers...

and bee blocks to catch up on.

But...you know what?

I'm going to do none of those.

I feel the need to just spend

time doing something fun.

Not yet sure what it will be.

But, I will be sure to show you!
{grin}

For some reason,
I didn't take photos while
me Mum was visiting.
Except this one...

She brought me a very
special birthday gift.
Oh, not to worry...
you didn't miss my birthday.
This gift is very early.


There is a story involved
with this beautiful needlepoint
that I will share at some other time.
For now, just know that it is very special to me.

It has now fallen to me to finish it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today is a day of giving thanks.


Among many other things,

I am thankful for all of you and

I wish you all a Blessed Thanksgiving!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."Jeremiah 29:11

Our Thanksgiving Celebration

What a day.

My sister from Colorado, Julie, was there...
a surprise for our Mom.

A lot of people in a small space.
But, we all had a great time. 

The 4 J's together...telling stories
on and about each other. 
All of us laughed so hard.

Here are some photos of our day...

I was sorry that Paul & his family
were unable to make it.

I was sorry to see the day come to an end.
