Still Recovering from an Abundance of Food and Blessings

This is our Thanksgiving update. Below are a handful of pictures from my cell phone (not the greatest quality) and I may have more later (or they may just go on our main website), but I wanted to share what I have.

The day was filled with blessings.  One of our precious little ones decided to go on walkabout to explore the neighbors' festivities.  This, of course, was a panicked and frightening moment, but the blessing of good neighbors meant she found her way back to us safely and in good time.  Nothing like a reminder that we are here to give thanks.

Our second blessing was the sheer number of people who shared the day with us.  I believe there was around 24 adults and 7 children (my count could be skewed by a few, as people flowed about at their leisure).  And the third blessing was the scrumptious food!  Even after a couple days, my tummy is still in a proverbial foodie heaven.

Here are a few of the smiling faces:


 What a shame more of the children (and adults) wouldn't hold still for such a nice, clear picture.  Maybe I'm just not quick enough on the draw.  (Or I *could* have been too busy eating.)


I'm enamored of the spirit of true joy these faces share with us.






And the day could not be complete without at least one picture of  "Hey, watch me walk! Pay no attention to the person pretending to hold my hands."


So many reasons and so much to be thankful for was evident on Thursday.  The next event on our schedule is a Saturday Social on December 1st.  Hop over to our website GardenSourceSC.Org to "contact us" for address and other information.  (As I mentioned before, our events are in private homes, so we don't want to just post someone's private address all over the internet.)  I, personally, am looking forward to a more relaxed gathering and time to just chat and get to know one another better.

Save the date, December 22nd, for our Yule Celebration!

Until next time, may the sun keep shining on your smiling face.
