they go fast - and are full of such wonderful memories.




(I'm wearing the white blouse)







I'm thankful for the wonderful teen age years . . .



(and that we got to go to WV for the wedding)

I'm thankful for our youngest daughter (Lori), one of the cutest babies you have ever seen . . .(of course all my babies were extra darling)


I'm thankful for a silly child who could lick the frosting off a cake and look you straight in the eye and say - yes it was very good, when asked if she had eaten the frosting . .


who brought Jahn with him into our family

for us when we lived out in the country on a farm in Kansas.









Yes, grandsons - I am extremely thankful for grandsons!!! (Jahn - age 2)




Our favorite christmas gifts - two fabulous grandsons to play with and adore!!!!
I hope your thanksgiving is as wonderful as ours -- and give your family a hug - they are the most precious thing you'll ever have!! And to our friends across the world - a wonderful weekend too - as we here in the US celebrate our Thanksgiving with family and feasting and good times.

Joanne...what a WONDERFUL post!!! I know how long it takes to do a post with photos and I appreciate that you took the time to do this. You so very effectively let us see all the blessings you have in your family. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to all of your family! IF I remember, I may refer people to this blog post tomorrow.
JoAnn, that was a lovely post. Thank you for sharing all those lovely family photos with us. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you for sharing your blessings with us for Thanksgiving. Family means everything. I have spent my entire life in WV and it's a wonderful place to live, but it sure is far from you. I know you must miss your daughter.
Awww what a lovely post Jo, you are truly blessed. Happy Thanksgiving my dear friend.

Such a beautiful way to show your thankfulness! I particularly enjoyed seeing the older black and white family photos. There's something about them that is comforting and surprisingly familar! Must be the snow, or the hairdos! Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours!

Pat told me to come and read a wonderful post and she was right. What an amazing tribute to your family. You did an awesome job. Hope you had a Good Thanksgiving and that its the start of a Blessed Holiday Season
I took this post in yesterday and I starred it on Reader so I'd come back to it. I didn't want to miss the opportunity to tell you how much I loved the post and appreciated the time you took to put it together. :)
Thankful for YOU!
That was a lovely Thankgiving post. I really liked seeing all the family photos and reading the captions.
The photo of the family around the table is a classic.
Thank you so much for sharing your blessings with your readers. We each have so much to be thankful for each day, but sometimes in the busyness of life, we forget to thanks those we love for being a part of our lives, your blog did that today in a beautiful way.

I loved all your photos - especially the old b&w ones. You certainly have two handsome grandsons. My family has gotten so small. Only six of us now, basically. I'm glad you have a lot of people to celebrate with.
You defintitely have a wonderful family! I love the old photos, especially of you!
