Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Ashley River, Charleston, SC 

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! It was a perfect sunny day for a walk around Hampton Park and above. I  have both of my children with me for this holiday so I am indeed thankful. For a few reasons I am not cooking this year and we are going to treat ourselves to dinner out. 

Thanksgiving Day

Folly Beach, SC 

A lovely warm Thanksgiving day and we made a quick change and carried all of our table settings outside and enjoyed dinner in the sunshine.  I always want to do this but is is usually just a bit too cool to pull it off.

Good food, friends, family and a walk on the beach. I have much to be thankful for. I hope you have as well.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am aware each and every day how much I have to be grateful for and that includes the camaraderie of this virtual community of friends. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I woke up to see this proclamation on the Charleston History facebook page and borrowed it to share. 

Thanksgivings past

Thanksgiving Day picnic - 2011

Two years ago my daughter and I visited my brother in India and he took us on an adventure far up in the North East close to the Indian Chinese border area of Arunachal Pradesh. The roads were bumpy and dangerous and the scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. We stayed the night in a Buddhist's nun's monastery and learned to make dumplings. We were having a steamed fish picnic in a rice paddy in a hospitable village when I realized it was Thanksgiving and I felt very fortunate.

Being Thankful

Thanksgiving, Charleston, S.C.

Thanksgiving thoughts are even more meaningful in a hospital. A roll of paper was laid out with colored markers inviting people to write their thoughts for Thanksgiving. Every time I walked by the paper was full and a new stretch rolled out.

I've been a bit of a blogging slacker lately folks. Feel free to join me on Facebook if you are on it. Sometimes I tend to toss up a quick photo there.
