Every moment of your
life you are offered
the
opportunity to choose love or fear,
to tread the earth or to
soar to the heavens.
~ Emmanuel's Book II
What we call the
beginning is often the end
And to make an end
is to make a beginning.

Annual Thanksgiving
Day
Wild Turkey
Trot
2008
It began in the
pre-dawn hours as we drove to Marge Petersen's
home. We stood
silently in the pitch dark and watched and listened as
the light crept
in and the sounds of nature slowly began to be heard.
Then we saw the
first wild turkey leave its roost high in a Ponderosa
and fly to the
ground. Soon, others joined him and, in the early light,
the
turkeys began to trot
back and forth finding their breakfast.
Marge invited us
inside for a welcome cup of coffee! In the comfort of her
home,
we could still
easily view the turkeys ... more than 25 of them (out the
window
on the upper
right)! Thank you, Marge!!!
Back at home, later
in the day ... before our
feast!
Yum!!! (You'll have
to take our word for it ... I didn't take pictures.)
I hope you all had
wonderful company!
Saturday night was a
Leftover Party at Terrey's.
Here, she poses in front of
the fused glass and tile creation she
is making in her
kitchen. This picture does not do it justice. The
red
glass pieces in the
foreground are actually the same glass that are
in the cupboards in
the back and are very subdued.
Here is the red glass again
behind Denise and her husband.
As we express our gratitude,
we must never forget that
the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but
to live by them.
