I’m Stuffed

Today this was a phrase that many uttered after we stuffed ourselves with Thanksgiving dinner.

I went out and walked later in the evening, and was still feeling a bit stuffed. I will need to take a long walk tomorrow to make up for not walking too far today.

The food was great today, but more importantly I enjoyed spending time with friends I have not see for awhile.

I am thankful for a great day.

Wednesday Image Search – Thanks

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

After searching for ‘nus’ last week, I will take a break for my current series and search for ‘thanks’.

What images will I find?

Thanksgiving Day - Pilgrims - Feast - Plymouth Plantation - Plymouth ColonyFirst we have an image from my Grandma’s scrapbooks showing the pilgrims on the way to the first Thanksgiving feast.

Thanksgiving Meal - Turkey with Trimmings - Time for Thanks - Holiday Meals - Ready to EatNext, we have a modern day Thanksgiving feast.

Turkey, Thanksgiving, Trimmings, garnishesWill you have turkey for Thanksgiving?

Happy Thanksgiving, Chalk Art, Front Porch, Canadian ThanksgivingHere is some sidewalk art by a young friend of mine in Canada. This was years ago for a Canadian Thanksgiving which is earlier in the year. I just happened to have a course scheduled there for right after their holiday.

Thanksgiving Turkey - Blow Up Turkey - Thanksgiving Decorations - Feast Time

Finally, we have a big blowup turkey for a Thanksgiving decoration.

Almost all of the ‘thanks’ images had to do with Thanksgiving.

Which is your favorite of these ‘thanks’ pictures?

What should I search for next?  I will get back to my series with ‘ous’. There are a lot of images for ‘ous’.
