Happy Thanksgiving



The year has turned its circle,
The seasons come and go.
The harvest all is gathered in
And chilly north winds blow. 

Orchards have shared their treasures,
The fields, their yellow grain,
So open wide the doorway ---
Thanksgiving comes again! 

Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends!!!

Hi everyone!! I've been quiet because we were off on family vacation in Florida for 2 weeks! It's nice to be back, but it is cold here. Nice to get into routine again and eat properly!! Lots of pics to scrap, just have to get them printed. I think tmw morning calls for coffee and some blog hopping to catch up with everyone! Hope everyone stayed safe and for those who were in the path of Sandy, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
