Something happens to me on Thanksgiving Day. It is perhaps [well, doubtless] the only day of the year on which I feel humble. [Adequately reflected in the shot of me here.] I defer to the love that surrounds me every day & for that, offer thanks to Mama et Papa.
Indeed November is a month for loving remembrance in our family.
For example, my Aunt & Uncle Lester celebrate their wedding anniversary.
My brother, Allan, his birthday. Of course, also Mama's birthday-- see entry of November 21, 2006. [the roses above were Papa's gift to her; the sparkling beads entwined with them, from Lynne, her friend.]
November is the month that Grandpere et Grandmere Lester travel to Chicago to celebrate Grandpere's profession [at the annual RSNA conference] and to mingle with many of their long-time friends.
Thanksgiving is a holiday that falls on different dates each year; that pleases me. It mirrors life, variable and fleeting, and reminds us that thanks should be offered wholeheartedly and frequently.

Happy Thanksgiving, Fans.
