**We interrupt the regularly scheduled photojournal to bring you a special Thanksgiving treat!**

I had twins!!! Okay, so I didn’t carry ‘em for 9 months, they cooked approximately 1 hour though! They are pecan pies for any of you out there that aren’t familiar with this southern specialty. The house sure smells good!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light. Albert Schweitzer

Okay, really, I didn’t mean for my shadow to come out in this photo, but it did…it’s Frejaluna/Jodi style I hope she doesn’t mind…and I tried to find a photo of her that was this style, but I guess the ones I’m thinking of are too far back…maybe she’ll post a link for me!

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. Pablo Picasso

Your travel life has the aspect of a dream. It is something outside the normal, yet you are in it. It is peopled with characters you have never seen before and in all probability will never see again. It brings occasional homesickness, and loneliness, and pangs of longing… But you are like the Vikings who have gone into a world of adventure, and home is not home until you return. Agatha Christie

There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is
society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less,
but Nature more. Lord Byron

This is where I went yesterday…the quiet tidepools of Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro. I was laying down to take this photo and had to be careful not to get washed away. This is the first photo of many that I took, so if you’re in the mood for sea and sand, stay tuned And Mom? Wish you could have been there

It is only when we silent the blaring sounds of our daily existence that we can finally hear the whispers of truth that life reveals to us, as it stands knocking on the doorsteps of our hearts. K.T. Jong

Time cools, time clarifies; no mood can be maintained quite unaltered through
the course of hours. Mark Twain

People who don’t Think probably don’t have Brains; rather, they have grey fluff that’s
blown into their heads by mistake. Pooh’s Little Instruction Book, inspired by A. A. Milne

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it;
the tree is the real thing. Abraham Lincoln

Another dog of a friend. This one’s name is Pikea and tried like heck to “sit” on the furniture

If dogs could talk, it would take a lot of the fun out of owning one.
