This year (2020), the year of COVID-19 Pandemic has been a year of many losses. One of these losses is not being able to have Thanksgiving dinner with the whole family. This is last year’s wonderful dinner at my sister’s house with the whole family, all 25 of us or more. I can’t remember how many there are now. It was such a fantastic time! This year it will be quiet for us but we will still have a turkey and our two good friends with us who we have been with throughout this difficult year.
These are photos from last year (2019). Enjoy!
Wishing you and yours a special Thanksgiving Day celebration. May we all stay healthy and be able to resume some form of normalcy in our lives soon! God Bless everyone!




A Time to be Thankful
by Janice Spina ((C) 2019)
It’s a time to be thankful.
It’s a time to be helpful.
It’s a time to be caring.
It’s a time to be sharing.
It’s a time to remember others.
It’s a time to remember that we are all sisters and brothers.
It’s a time to show love.
It’s a time to thank God above.
Thanksgiving is a time to remember that every day we should be thankful.
My family all get together for Thanksgiving to eat plenty of delicious foods, share wine, love, friendship, and catch up on everything that we have done since last year.
It’s a joyful time for everyone to be together again. With our busy lives we don’t always have time to get together during the year. It is a time to be thankful for each other, our joys, good times, and bad that we survived, and having family there to support one another.
I wish you all a lovely day whether or not you celebrate Thanksgiving. May you celebrate life and all the good things that come your way. God Bless you all!

Blessings & Hugs! Stay Safe, Stay Well and God Bless!
