Happy “Thanksgiving” Holiday! Poet Haley rearranged the day: Happy “Givingthanks” Holiday! I am grateful for my life: Wonderful caring husband (40 years together) Seven beautiful, healthy grandchildren Three super stepchildren & their spouses Parents & in-laws who cared in their lifetimes Our family home, safe, warm, happy Friends who always were present A cool local orchard - known to me For over sixty years from childhood My first newspaper coverage? My five year old self photographed Pinning the “apple on the tree” A bag removed from my head For the photographer to request “SMILE” !! I was famous !! My long braids tightly wooven Long ago, 1955 in this orchard. Now a new memory? My foot or more taller self Hit her head squarely into “Blue Jay Orchards” thick wood Celebrating this week With color coordinated Thanksgiving Holiday ICE PACK !! 🎶🎶🍎🍎🍎🍎🐾🐾🐾

What scares me most is seeing the utter chaos in the US where I have all my close family and so many friends How can I not worry for them? Here, the situation is bad, too--yet, I don't feel the despair that I do when I think about the USA. At least here there is some semblance of a desire for control and people are not so divided. When I hear the selfish, ignorant and mocking rhetoric coming from Trump and his supporters it makes my blood boil, thinking that their recklessness is putting so many people I love in even greater danger.
