[Mr.Bill]

10. What a lovely family!

I hope you all had a wonderful day.

For me, it's just about time for one of my favority parts of the day. The evening turkey sandwich on home made bread. Sitting her now having some hot egg nog with brandy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. Thank you so much, my dear Mr.Bill!

My husband and I feel very fortunate that we have such wonderful family. Our daughters have grown up and are now independent and living the life they want. Their children are thriving.

We had a wonderful day! And your evening turkey sandwich sounds scrumptious! As does hot egg nog with brandy! Yum.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

[Bundbuster]

22. Thanks for sharing your beautiful family

and all of today's warmth. But where are the photos of the FOOD to make me hungry on Thanksgiving night?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Thank you so much, my dear Bundbuster!

Food? Was there food?



My food photos didn't come up to my satisfaction. I'm sorry!

[fantase56]

23. That is lovely!!!

I miss California. Beautiful pictures of the Channel Islands!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. Thank you so much for your lovely comments, my dear fantase56!

The Channel Islands are constantly changing and not always for the better. I do consider them a challenge!

I know full well how much I would miss California if I had to move.

[gademocrat7]

29. Stunning photos, Peggy

You captured the joy of family at Thanksgiving.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Thank you so much, my dear gademocrat7!

It was easy to capture the joy--we were overjoyed at being all together!

[Boomerproud]

30. Is the woman next to you your sister? She looks just like you.

Great photos!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thanks for your comments, my dear Boomerproud!

Actually, we're not related at all! Maybe by marriage; her oldest son and our oldest daughter are married. But they live far away and have no taste for travel.

Glad you enjoyed the photos! I had a blast taking them.

[StarryNite]

31. Delightful!

Thank you for sharing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Thanks so much, my dear StarryNite!

It was truly a delightful day!

Sharing is my middle name!

[2naSalit]

32. Sweet!

Looks like a good time was had by all!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit!

You got that right! We're pretty far-flung so get-togethers like this one only happen a couple times of year.

We make the most of it!

[ratchiweenie]

37. Beautiful family, beautiful home, beautiful view. You have so much to be thankful for.

Glad you had such a wonderful day.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. I sure know how very lucky I am, my dear ratchiweenie!

Every day, I am grateful for how good my life has been, and still is. I've had terrible things happen, but all they do is remind me of how good everything else is.

It's a good way to see the world.

And we sure did have a wonderful day!

[KS Toronado]

38. Interesting petrified fish you have Peggy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. They sure are interesting! Who knew fish could be so colorful and still be petrified???

Thanks so much, my dear KS Toronado!

[LoisB]

39. All very beautiful.

Thank you for sharing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. Thanks so much, my dear LoisB! I had fun taking them. ♥ nt

[justaprogressive]

40. Thank you

for sharing. How fortunate you are to have a family so
loving and supportive of you and one another.

Hopefully you can relax a little bit for the rest of the weekend!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. Thanks so much, my dear justaprogressive!

I think it goes back to marrying the right person who has helped me grow and learn. All else has come from that point.

Believe me, if I were any more relaxed, I'd be a puddle on the floor!

Today is mine, and I'm lovin' it.

[solara]

45. What a beautiful family!

And wow, they are so lucky to have you.. not only as a kind and supportive family member but as a brilliant artist/historian..

Thanks for sharing 🤗

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. Thank you so much, my dear solara! I greatly appreciate your kind remarks. ♥ nt

[Archae]

47. Looks like you all had a good time.

I kind of doubt you have any Trump-bots in your family!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. Thanks for your great comments, my dear Archae!

And how right you are! NO Trump-bots in our family! All of us are Democrats.

[ancianita]

49. What a beautiful big sky, glittering water and lovely family and life to be thankful for!

Glad for your Thanksgiving Day photos, and a life full of grace you live, Peggy.

Onward and upward in the new year!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. Thank you for your lovely comments, my dear ancianita! I greatly appreciate them.

My life has turned out so well! I have no idea why it has, but there it is. I'm very lucky!

Absolutely! Onward and upward in the new year!

[cyclonefence]

51. Just thought I'd mention...

I am available for adoption. All my shots, and I'm almost paper-trained.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. Ah, my dear cyclonefence, my child-rearing days are long gone!

You made me smile. Thank you!

[Grumpy Old Guy]
