Autumn Travels

My husband and I have been traveling from Texas to parts of the east coast. We have seen so many beautiful places and learned so much. I wish I could share everything with you. I feel blessed to be able to see all this beauty. I dreamed of traveling as a young girl, and how lucky I am, it is happening. Image: highlights from our drive up!

Thankful!

November 26 this year is Thanksgiving in America. It is time for families to gather, enjoy a meal with family favorites. Usually, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, nieces, and nephews all join in with the immediate family. In our family, we remind ourselves of loved ones and share great new recipes to pass on to the little ones of today. This year many families will have to cancel or scale down their celebrations, but hopefully that sacrifice will help keep everyone safe so that next year there will be a full house! I hope you celebrate a day to give thanks in your country; it is a fun family time filled with many blessings. Make sure to check out Shine and see pictures sent in of things people are thankful for.
