happy thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving preparations are well underway
as I look forward to hosting my family, this year.

Earlier this week while walking to my office
- and mentally making a shopping list


I noticed a splash of red - hanging on late in the season
grocery list can wait...


I pause for a moment at the dog park
- city dogs need a fenced-in area to run around in

And back to thanksgiving preparations
I reflect on the many things that I am grateful for

I would like to give a heartfelt thank you to
Theresa - aka TexWis Girl
not only for hosting Good Fences for the past few years,
but for gathering a warm and friendly group of bloggers,
- many of whom I think of as friends

Theresa - I will miss your insight and wit
you never failed to put a smile on my face
I wish you all the best!

And for everyone else - a very happy thanksgiving!
(whether you celebrate or not - because, feeling thankful is always a good thing...)

I'm joining TexWis for one last Good Fences

  14. I really admire the thanksgiving you celebrate there… we are always depend on something and we can’t live without thanking, a way of reciprocation that brings people together. Love the bright red fall color there and nice to know the dog park where they enjoy there space.

    You are right with TexWis! We miss a blogger genuine, a nice buddy and understanding person.
    Best wishes on my behalf to her
