    It's autumn, and this is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada.

    I'd thought I'd take a moment out to reflect on what I am thankful for, and ask, what are you thankful for?

    This is my favourite time of year. Crisp, fresh air. The spectacular, brilliant blaze of orange, yellow and red leaves. Fresh apples of all varities that literally "snap" when you bite into them. The aromatic smell of fall along the hiking trails. The geese honking overhead as they prepare to go south.

    I have always enjoyed these things, but the freedom to say so and mark it with an occasion, where we can sit down with friends and their family, and enjoy them together is an added blessing.

    Wishing you all similar pleasant thoughts and memories.

    David and Denise.

    I am always thankful for my family and friends ( you know the ones who love you unconditionally )

    I am also thankful for finding this web site and meeting all of you. (((((((((((((( to all of you ))))))))))))).

    David and Denise,

    This is my favorite time of year also, natures fireworks! (the leaves).

    Many people take holidays for granted, but when you have never had them, they are extra special.

    Enjoy your celebrations, and thanks for sharing!

    I am thankful beyond words for the kindness and unstinting generosity of the Dallas apostates who have come to my aid and relieved a great emotional burden from me while relieving a great physical burden from my favorite cousin.

    little witch. I never thought of the fall colours, like that. I was out today with the camera taking pictures all over town. I ran out of film.
