It's Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day 2010: I treasure your friendship and hope you're enjoying this holiday and sharing its abundance with those you love. Bob and I have had a special year and have much to be thankful for. Our yearly journey has taken us from quiet mountain lakes to the cremation ghats of Kathmandu and included a unique trip to the top of the world, where we circled Everest and learned just how small we really are. I wanted to share a few of our special moments and blessings with you. We are supremely grateful for...



the beauty of the earth



the glory of the skies



and the gift of seeing it made new through Connor's eyes.


Many of you, on learning our feast would be non-traditional, asked about the menu. Here's what I plan to serve. Have a wonderful day!
