Thankful

Fall is my favorite season of the year and
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
I have so much to be thankful for.
I have been blessed with a wonderful
family, friends and reasonably good health.

This week at Soartful I'd like to celebrate my
favorite holiday.

I have two images to inspire you this week.
This beautiful Thanksgiving postcard

I apologize, I can't remember where I got this lovely image.
and

The official site of the first Thanksgiving.
I visited here in the 80s. This was my first visit
to a living history museum.

Thank you everyone for your beautiful Fall Background entries.
The Extra Specials this week are.....

Sarah
Grannie Annie

Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year;
to the honest man
it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.

Oops--I forgot to say that this week I chose not to use the images provided (I guess that's obvious :)). They are certainly beautiful, but my unpredictable creative mind was going in a different direction, I guess.
