Thanksgiving 2011

So much to be grateful for!  For families and friends, for a loving home, for escaping the forest fire!  For our beloved country and those who serve.

As we gather, let's fill ourselves with more than mashed potatoes and turkey.  Let the love and warmth of this sweet day of gratitude keep us fed.  Welcome to our table this year, we wish you could be here.

Oh beautiful for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountains majesty above the fruited plain!

America, America, God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

from sea to shining sea!

Happy Thanksgiving!
