Happy Thanksgiving

 

Sweet memories from 2018 at my son's house!

I am most deeply grateful to John Rogers who invited me to stay in his home when mine had no water or electricity or cell service (which was restored) nor internet which wasn't restored for a long while.

 Drinking water, oh how grateful I was that it again comes out of our taps. 

Gratitude especially for the hospitality of my dear friend Martha, who has been part of my life for almost half a century!

Gratitude for the abundance of food which I enjoy.

Grateful for the living of 82 years and 3 months...a lot of memories!

The force behind the feast was always this woman...just changed her hair and shoes as the generations passed.

Or as a graphic artist depicted her...

I hope my adult children and adult grandchildren have learned the folly of the myth of the Pilgrims and Native people for the first Thanksgiving.

Today's inspiration:

So grateful to live in Black Mountain, right next to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Grateful for all the blessings I've received, and surviving the recent storm.
