Thankful

Increasingly the American tradition of Thanksgiving seems to be eroded away by retail and other things.   Too bad.  

Cousins gathered in the yard, playing ball while dads sit around yacking about football/fishing/work.  

Whatever your tradition is, I hope you are fortunate enough to take pause and observe it, this Thanksgiving!

We've been developing a tradition of family portraits around this holiday -- this was one of my favorites, taken today.
