Last to first:

Oh. Sister Pat. YOU MAKE ME LAUGH! So whose aren't? HA! SO, SO FUNNY! I learned, as a teen, that my grandmother's great great great PEOPLE were chicken thieves! IMAGINE MY SHOCK AND SHAME!!! (Peep, peep, PEEP!)

Please take a special moment and be thankful! (For whatever you can think up!) Even if you aren't eating TURKEY! Okay? HA! I love you!

-Little Sis :D !!!

Oh Sister. I love your divided loyalties like mine! :) As USA and CANADIAN brothers and sisters we ALL love each other and want the best for each of us!

THIS SUNDAY ... 19 years ago ... I moved to Canada! No regrets.

- Sis :D

(BTW...I am bad in math...so if I said 20 years -ANYWHERE ELSE- I retract...It is 19!)

*

Paddy...so are you. Don't think for a second that you are NOT! (A B.O.F.A.)

*

Monnie. Same to YOU and thank you so much! :)!!!

*

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

Mumj! :) ... Of all the people I have been honored to met on BP, YOU are so special to me....And YOU would know the most how much BP as changed my life...OH..SO MUCH FOR THE GOOD!

I am an AMERICAN living in CANADA.

I love BOTH Countries and understand so much how we are ALL brothers and sisters here. Even MUMZIES and daughters! It's wonderful and delightful.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!! :D

Folks... we KNOW this for a fact.

With BP we can feel ALL THE WAY ROUND THE WORLD like brothers and sisters. As one.

Photography may have brought us all together but we KNOW that there is a special KINSHIP that surpasses this.

FOR THIS MAGICAL THING...I am thankful each day. Not just on Thanksgiving.

Another inspired creation, Laura. I don't know where all your energy and creativity comes from...How do you do it? You must also have the most well-developed typing muscles in your fingers! Happy Thanksgiving to the American side of you! Hey...the Canadian side is allowed in on this too! #8169849
