Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite times of year. I like the thankful part...
*Thankful for the sunsets and the Island where I am able to live...
Thankful for the folks who have made our Cottage their home for a while.... I am so thankful for the chance to meet the people who have come to the Cottage. I am grateful as well for those visitors who have applied their expertise to make this place a better place... in so many ways! We buttoned up the Cottage in the last few days for the coming Winter. The Welcome Sign has been taken in - for now.
**Thankful as well to those folks who have taken care of us, looked out for us here on the Island.... Emergency Services of Door County, Washington Island Station...
The amount ot time and effort these people contribute is to be appreciated and to be honored. Such special people... 
Thankful for the Volunteers...This Island - as is often the case in many communities - can not manage without the many volunteers who contribute their time and their skills.Whether it is at the school, the archives, one of the museums, as a member of a Board or using a little "elbow grease" for some "grunt work"...
***This past week's Northern Lights show- this view is from Northport looking toward the Island - has helped me to remember how lucky I am to live here. Thank you all so very, very much!
So take a moment in the coming days to think thankful thoughts. What would you/ will you add? Ideas? Add them in the Comment Section below...
Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a great week!
