Happy Thanksgiving!

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home;
All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.

I always loved this hymn, a holdover from my church upbringing. Thanksgiving is a special holiday to me, and it's one I appreciate. I hate that it gets buried in the ever-lengthening run up to Christmas.

It's so important to stop, breathe, and give thanks.

Lovely cashmere

My aunt sent me this lovely cashmere jacket. It is sooooo soft. The pictures don't do it justice. It's like a blazer. I want to wear it, but I dread risking dirt or stains! I will have to be careful.

Oh gracious

I blogged every day in October and then faded away!
