Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. Psalm 95.2-3
Thanksgiving Day has come and gone but the spirit of gratitude lives on. It was a lovely celebration for us, a gathering of sweet family and relaxing times of reconnecting, sharing, laughter and love. The days preceding were busy but relaxed. Rather than listing my daily thanks I am going to just bullet point the highlights.
A lovely stroll along the boardwalk with my sweetie;
a coffee date on the waterfront. Life is good.

Road trip! Just a short one this time.
Bruce and I with my sister and her husband.
First thanksgiving spent with my sister in DECADES.
We think the last time we might have spent this holiday
together was maybe 1983?
