This year, Thanksgiving was spent out in Tridell. I have no pictures, because I spent the weekend playing and reading on my iPad (see previous post). And, the one event that I planned on taking pictures of (tree hunting at White Rocks in the Uintah's) I had an unforetunate experience that caused my quick retreat. Which will also not be discussed.
Everything Thanksgiving, I've posted about the things that matter most in my life which are also, the things I'm most grateful for. It's a reminder of my blessings and the things that bring me the greatest joy.

I'm thankful for extended family who love us, help us, visit us, support us, etc.
Animals
