~ I Give Thanks With
                           A Grateful Heart~

            For......

 ........my sweet husband, who doesn't

blink an eye when I suggest a

day trip to take in an arts and crafts fair.

 

  .....or a vacation at a cabin in the
beautiful Georgia mountains.

 



.......my precious daughter and son-in-law,

who are so much fun to vacation with.

They love the outdoors

and are always ready to explore.

 

 



.....good health and the best friends

 and co-workers....ever.....

who joined us in support,

walking the 5k Race for the Cure

...in the rain!

.....family near
 

This picture was taken on Easter a couple

of years ago. My sweet mother-in-law

has since gone to be with the Lord, but

we shared many happy family times together

over the years. There is a new baby boy
to add to the family photo this year.
 

.....family far

 



The fourth generation

extended family in Mississippi.

This was taken last Thanksgiving
and this year, there will be another
little boy added to this picture as well!
 

 

.......our cozy little log cabin by
the Cypress Knee swamp, that has
provided shelter and comfort and
a place to call home.
(Oops, I forgot to hang the ferns back up!)

.......the beauty of the State I call home.

.......and for so much more......
my heart is grateful and
humbled to be so blessed.


Happy Thanksgiving Holiday!

It has been a multicolored

kind of week.

Mixed thoughts and emotions.

 

 

 

 

For me, there is nothing like

a dose of nature to restore balance.

 

God is still in His heaven! 

 

Have a beautiful weekend.

~ Color My World ~

 

 

What I see when I turn into my driveway.

 

 

We finally had weather cool enough

for the trees to begin to color....

 

 

Closer to the house the color is

more golden.....

Like my "See Rock City"birdhouse?

I saw that advertisement on

barns all over northern Arkansas growing up.

 



How beautifully leaves grow old. 

How full of light and color are their last days.

I do love this time of the year!

(except, I wish I could keep Daylight Savings Time)

Til next time,
