~~Thanksgiving Picture Puzzle Day~~

There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again~~Elizabeth Lawrence~~

~~~*~~~

So it's time to take a break, sit down and relax!  Play along for a few minutes.  It will help relieve the tension of the preparations and maybe just give you another reason to smile!  Wishing you a weekend with memories to be treasured and cherished and if by chance you have a "puzzle" you'd like to share please let us play along!  We'll all need a minutes relaxation, too!

We're off to Charlotte. Will check in to see who has visited and hope you will share with us the joy of your holiday, if not a puzzle.

If you'd like to invite us to visit you and enjoy your puzzle please post you invitation here.  To create you puzzle go to JigZone and they will help you.

The Season's arrived

Gathering family and friends

Gratitude abounds!

There's turkey and rolls

Sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie

Best by far the hugs!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We'll be traveling to Charlotte, NC next week to share the love, joy and presence of the Creator and give thanks for all the treasures that abound in our lives with kids and grandkids.  Take time to reflect on the treasures you have been granted.  Mine are to-many-to-count!!!

I want to dedicate this post to Spadoman Joe.  He is a delight.  I treasure his visits each Friday.  Praying that the Spirit of healing will descend upon him and offer peace, tranquility and love knowing that family and friends have a treasure in him.

Thanks be to God!!!

The Joy in Tea Talk

I'm having...English Breakfast tea

My teacup...is a delicate beauty I found at Mother Teresa's Treasures, our church's thrift store.

I'm feeling... Excited in anticipation of the next week...should be more excited about the here-and-now but starting Saturday celebrations begin.  Saturday is the Fall play at Memorial High School and my granddaughter is student director.  Then on Wednesday we begin our Thanksgiving journey to Charlotte where we with celebrate with David, Kelly, Maddie and the boys as well as Jimmy, Kelly, and Xavier who will come from Atlanta.  (Yes, there will be two Kellys.)

On my mind...completing my Bible study lesson.  Can you tell I'm having a difficult time staying focused?

Please join Ruth at Tea Talk today.

Today I also join Meri for Share the Joy Thursday.   For I believe we need to find it in my life every day no matter the realities in which we live.  God is Good in so many ways even in times of trial.

She's still blooming.

Pictures Puzzle Day

But sound aloud praises and give the victory crown

To our noble-hearted Firemen, who fear not danger's frown.

~Frederic G. S. Fenn~

"Ode to Our Firemen," 1878

This picture is from a restaurant in Rapid City, SD.  We often eat there when we travel to visit Mom in Billings.  The old firehouse gets to show off its past while allowing us to enjoy the present.  I recommend it highly!

 So today let's play again. Go through old pictures and join in the fun. Rest and relax in the knowledge that you can play and know one in this neighborhood will object.

Thanks be to God!
