Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks.

Picture from Hometown
 

The Pilgrims came across the sea,

And never thought of you and me;

And yet it's very strange the way

We think of them Thanksgiving day.

.

We tell their story, old and true

Of how they sailed across the blue,

And found a new land to be free

And built their homes quite near the sea.

.

Every child knows well the tale

Of how they bravely turned the sail

And journeyed many a day and night,

To worship God as they thought right.

Dawn this is adorable - thank you for sharing it.  Hope your somewhere with folks you enjoy being around to celebrate this Thanksgiving with.  As you know we are up here in Rochester, Minnesota - they say the coldest place in the world, but you would know better than I where the coldest places in the USA is.  But hark, we are at my Sons and his wife's home and have two grandchildren here so soon I will hit the hay so I can get up early and help my daughter-in-law with putting together our Thanksgiving feast.  

Blessing to you two Nomads
