Thanksgiving weekend fun

The five us took a little trip on Saturday to downtown Frederick, about 40 minutes away.

Leftover Halloween fun?

Window shopping

Strolling along the canal.

The benefit of coming early? Not many people!

The boys liked this one.

Great weather for the ducks.

Fun fall grates.

 The local firehouse.

Cute!

Lunch at Brewer's Alley.

St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, I believe.

Back to UMBC for Gman1, already looking forward to Christmas holidays!

DH took a break from collecting the leaves to say goodbye.

In stitching news, I'm almost finished with this but still have lots more I'd like to do.

And it's almost time for this guy (Spike) to visit our house. I think he's going to be busy this year!

TH Thursday... Friday edition

THinking, THinking, THinking...

THinking THoughts, and being THankful on THursdays.

Thanksgiving, time with family and friends. Wishing I could be with my brothers, but happy that I was able to talk to them. Thankful for my chosen sisters that were able to join us and missing those who couldn't.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~ Albert Schweitzer

Nathan's take on being thankful.

Of course I'm thankful for this guy!

And these three!

No explanation needed...

I hope your Thanksgiving, or Thursday, was special and memorable.
