Thankful

Blue Ridge Mountains

As I explore the area where we live, often by motorcycle, I stop and just look out over the wonders that surround us.

Despite hard economic times, failures of our elected leaders at the local, state and national level and a national mood that seems too often coarse and decisive, we still have so much to be thankful for in this nation.

As Amy and I head off to spend Thanksgiving with my mother, we want to take a moment to say thanks to the friends we’ve made since coming to Floyd five years ago and the many others we made over the years and through this web site.

Happy Thanksgiving from us to you and our thanks for making all this worthwhile.

    Please make arrangements to offer prints of your photography for sale here.  I just know people would buy them.  As long as I could afford to, I would.  This one for instance, a definate wall hanger.

    When we arrived here just before Christmas in 2005, you and Amy took us in and made us welcome for many weeks while our house was being made ready for occupancy. We and out cats have never forgotten your kindness.

    A lot of water has gone under the bridge since them but we are still thankful to be in Floyd where people look out for each other and wave when we pass them on the road.

    Floyd is one of those rare places where everyone matters. We are thankful for that.
