Thanksgiving....Good Food-Good Wine-Great Friends!

Thanksgiving!
Each and every day I know I am blessed, I have far more than I ever thought I would.  This past Thanksgiving I was able to share a wonderful meal with family and friends.  My dear husband is such a great cook, he baked two pumpkin pies the night before then prepared dinner the following day.  The 27 pound turkey had been brined then BBQ, delicious.
A very good friend of my 21 year old son, baked us 2 fabulous apple pies. Lots of food a few bottles of wine, lots of laughs and memories made.
That is a great life!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving.......Take the time to step back and reflect.  What are you thankful for?  What have you been blessed with?  What challenges have you overcome?  Do you have more than you ever thought you would?  I know I certainly do!  So many times we take things for granted or complain when life does not go our way.  What are you truly thankful for?
Have a wonderful weekend everyone........

Annie and Alaska

My two dogs or should I say "children". When my children were young (now adults) my hubby and I decided we might like to have a family dog.  I had never had a pet before but loved the idea of something cute and cuddly but no idea of the work involved.
Alaska sitting tall in the above photo is the older male and Miss Annie with her chubby face and pink bow is the "princess".  It is interesting how just like people dogs each have their distinct personality.
Alaska is quiet, gentle, even tempered and always willing to cuddle.  Annie on the other hand is moody, forever wanting "treats" and would rather be outside playing in the mud.
The photo above is my favourite.  They had returned from the groomers and were quite exhausted.  Relaxing in one of their favourite spots I was able to capture their attention (probably promising a walk or a treat).  The top photo I included as "Annie from Alaska's perspective", as she tends to be bossy and push him around.
Oh my babies!
