{ Happy Thanksgiving }

This lovely painting hangs over our fireplace in the Fall and then moves to the dining room for rest of the year. It was painted by Estelle, Ruth's Mom. She claims it is "just a painting" but all of her children swear it is of their Auntie who lived atop a mountain in Maine with no running water. Whoever she is, this picture represents family to us. So on a day when we will be with our Island Family and not our "real" family, "Auntie in Maine", as we like to call her, will keep watch over us and see that we are loved and well fed. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. May blessings abound for you and your loved ones.
