Open Air Thanksgiving

“Count your blessings instead of your crosses
Count your gains instead of your losses
Count your joys instead of your woes
Count your friends instead of your foes
Count your smiles instead of your tears
Count your courage instead of your fears
Count your full years instead of your lean
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean
Count your health instead of your wealth
Count on God instead of yourself “
*Thanksgiving 2020*
The celebration and turkey meal was taken 
outside this year...open air and space to spread out...
Thanks to beautiful weather it actually
worked out great!

Outdoor seating! 
My friend Maggie introduced me to 
“The Flower Post” https://www.theflowerpost.com/
You can drop off vases/bottles and they
will fill it up so uniquely and have it for
you to pick up later that day! 
“Let’s go hike Preacher’s Rock” 
We have heard of the amazing views from the
top of Preacher’s Rock....but, we will have to
catch them next time! ๐Ÿคฃ It started raining when
we reached the spot...but, still really neat
to picture what was out there beyond the clouds! 
Then it rained the whole way down! 
Downtown Dahlonega looks so pretty
with all the Christmas decor! 
Walking around the square 
Celebrating B-R-A-N-D-O-N! 
Happy Bday! 
Dinner at Butcher and Brew
A bite of something sweet from Kilwins 
Happy 42nd Brandon!!! 
Can’t pass a yellow wall when you are 
holding a blue ice cream cone without
taking a picture! 
Cole was so excited about his first basketball 
game the next morning....he laid out his uniform 
before he jumped in bed! 
1st game!! Go 76ers

Gran Mum cheering from the sidelines! 

Go COLE!!!!
We couldn’t believe HOW exciting
the game was! Cole has moves!
He made a basket and had
some assists! He was really good
getting the ball down the court and
a great rebounder! 
“That’s my son!”
