Thankful ...

Today is Thanksgiving Day here in Canada ... 



In the Cawder family, we are thankful and grateful today, and everyday, for many things ...

🦃 health ... especially Frank's health ... he had a rough couple of years not too long ago. This year he's the healthiest he's been in a long time ...


🦃 family ... our children and grandchildren live close by .. we realize we are fortunate not only to have grandkids but also live close enough to have them as part of our everyday life. We also have other extended family here as well all of which means we sat down with 24 family members at our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday ...




🦃 love ... ttwd has brought a deeper love into our lives in the last year ... not something we would/could ever have imagined happening ... and we are thankful for all of you in Blogland who have provided guidance, friendship and support ...



🦃 our home ... here in our little piece of paradise ... ocean almost at our front doorstep, wildlife out our back door, a vibrant arts community, friendly, neighbourly and safe ...




🦃 our country ... although we are not immune to the divisiveness and controversial politics of this time in history, we feel blessed to live in this country called Canada ...




... Happy Thanksgiving, fellow Canucks! ...

  4. Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend. Our middle child was home from college so that always makes me happy. Sadly he is leaving today. The turkey was tough, the weather was cold, and dull, we all still had a great time!.

    Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

  10. I live in Canada too. Happy Thanksgiving. :) Thankfully we did not have 24 people here, but only because they wouldn't have all fit. :) But we did have my parents and the Duke's and some family. :)
    Hugs, EsMay

  12. Hi, NJ! Sorry I am late....I was off doing something, I guess. :) Your Thanksgiving sounds like it was wonderful with all 24 of you. It is sweet of you to share what and who you are grateful for in your life. I am thankful you're here in blog land and that I ended up here, too, somehow..... and that we're friends. Hugs! Windy
