Happy Thanksgiving! (part 1)

I love Thanksgiving - of the winter holidays, this is my favorite.  My husband and I were married the day after Thanksgiving as well - it was the 29th that year, but I think I’ll always think of it as the day after Thanksgiving.  It’s five years this year!   Woo!

I believe in the Thanksgiving idea of inter-cultural sharing.  The Austin InterFaith group has an annual Thanksgiving celebration that I love.  The executive director (CEO, rather) of the nonprofit I work for is a big part of Austin InterFaith.  She’s awesome.  I’ve never met anyone who devoted themselves to ideals and the welfare of others like her.  She has more community service under her belt than I thought it was possible to have!!

This cornucopia and fabric vegetables were some of my very favorite items growing up.  I remember playing with them for hours.  I think my mom was afraid I was going to destroy them, but never!  I loved them too much.  I plan to add to this vegetable stash, in fact, now that she’s given me these precious items.

Tomorrow morning I shall be flying to Alaska to visit my brother for the holiday.  So exciting!  I’ve never been to Alaska before.  Have I mentioned I love fall!?!?

This polka-dot pumpkin is where I got my fascination with fabric pumpkins.  I LOVE this pumpkin.  Obviously, kitten does too!
