Happy Thanksgiving

Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise a song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin.
God our maker doth provide
For our wants to be supplied,
Come to God's own temple come,
Raise a song of harvest home.
                                                 --words...Heny Alford



The cranberry sauce is chilling, the dressing is mixed awaiting its turn in the oven, the rolls are rising and the turkey breast is roasting.   I would love to have a crowded kitchen, everyone in everyone's way, chattering nonstop.  This year it is just Roger and I.  The size of the meal has been decreased.  I am a traditionalist, so there will be a little bit of our favorites to celebrate our blessings and remind us of years past. 

And when the sunsets this evening on this Thanksgiving Day,
 I hope you find your heart filled and nourished
whether you were one among many or only a few.  



Happy Thanksgiving!

  4. I am with you, Bonnie. With just the 3 of us, it's not the same. However, we do pretty good at chaos all on our own.

    I am so thankful to have made a new friend in you!
