{Happy THANKSGIVING 2016 and THANKS for so many FRIENDSHIPS}

Once again, we do have SO MUCH FOR BEING THANKFUL FOR!
The only negative is, that Thanksgiving comes around way too soon; another year is just about to exit...
On Monday, I did receive such a warm and touching card, with a sweet note from a lovely blog reader; Patricia from Ohio.
Thank you so very much Patricia and husband for being loyal readers of my humble blog!
In the future I promise you there will be more stories that you like.

THANK you ALL for being loyal visitors here and for lifting each other up in times when needed.
I believe in ANGELS and I know that many are living amongst us!
Wishing you and your loved ones a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING
And all those that reside outside of the USA, THANKS for your VISITS over the years.

Indeed, FRIENDS are ANGELS of LOVE!
