Giving Thanks

As you can tell from the blog, I haven't posted recently.  Didn't feel like I had anything to say, well, anything relevant that is.  If you know me at all you know I always have something to say :).  I want to avoid this blog becoming a rambling, daily or weekly Christmas/annual update letter.  Don't get me wrong, I like those letters from friends and family I don't get to see often enough but a weekly update, hmmm, not so much.  Today, a mix of the "Christmas letter" all with a heart of Thaks to God for his blessings.
Captured on one of many bicycle rides around Lake Grapevine, TX.




Since the last entry, we have been hanging close to "home" (North Central Texas) because I had several trips/flights scheduled out of DFW airport.  For the most part, DH has indulged me and we've stayed on a lake or river.  Glen Rose which is a beautiful Texas spot, I recommend a day trip that includes the Green Pickle.  Then we were off to Lake Bridgeport on an 80 acre preserve, peaceful.
Shuffleboard at Lake Bridgeport, you don't have to be retired to enjoy this!









After Bridgeport, we headed to Lake Grapevine, a little lake resort paradise in the heart of the metroplex.  This is where we purchased my "grocery getter" bicycle at the Mad Duck www.madducksports.com. I love my Civia  loring!


We are now on our way back to Fort Worth (literally going down the road) for Thanksgiving with my parents and one of my brothers.

Between Lake Grapevine and Fort Worth, we were in West Texas visiting one of my greatest blessings, DH's family.  Friends, Uncle Wayne (Helen we miss you), our son's family and more cousins (Leslie, thanks for dinner and dominoes and so glad Robert came by but we missed seeing Gayla).

Thank God for His grace, because I certainly don't deserve all He has given me!  For a great story/lesson on God's love, see my friend's blog at www.randomcathy.com.
