Lots to be Thankful for....

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on blessings, share moments together and partake of the harvest bounty. We don't even have a garden so we depend on others to harvest and provide the bounty for our table. One of the main things on our Thanksgiving table is the traditional Kangas stuffing with 3 lbs of onions and a whole stock of celery sauteed until cooked. It can be a bit toxic if you are sensitive to onion fumes.
We are thankful for all of our family, especially the new additions. Simon, Danika and Rowan. Also our newest feline friends, Peanut Butter and Ninja. Peanut Butter has decided that she
likes Harlan a lot. If you knew how much he is not a hands on pet person, you'd find this humorous.

Aunty Krystle has found a new love in her nephew Rowan. He seems quite taken with her as well. He has such a face!! Don't you just want to kiss it.




We are Thankful for increasing health and energy. Miss Danika is starting to interact socially and is such a bright eyed little cutie.
Of course we are Thankful for the constant activity of the older two grandkids. They were thankful that we hadn't bagged all of our leaves before today.
As far as Mad Max the Road Warrior dog. Who knows what he is thankful for. He just appreciates the chance to come to "Gramma's" house and play with the kids and get a bunch of attention. He is such a great dog. There are none better IMHO.

I love this picture of him that looks like he's praying. At least he bowed his head.

God bless us, everyone, as we look forward to celebrating the Christmas season and the coming New Year.
