This is the new moon over Taos, taken either Tuesday or Wednesday night. Isn't it a glorious sight? It never fails to move me. I know, I know, I am obsessed with the sunsets here --- and I am sure you would be, too! They are just so beautiful, don't you agree??
Today is Gratitude Day - otherwise known as Thanksgiving. It's also the FIRST DAY OF THE SKI SEASON in Taos!!! Check out the various ski resorts:

I hope all of you had a joyful holiday with friends and family. My Thanksgiving celebration was initially going to be spent driving to Bryce Canyon in Utah with Deborah and Gail, but the Bryce trip will be another time. We opted to stay in Taos and take day hikes over the holiday weekend. So, my Thanksgiving in Taos began with a breakfast at Deborah's. She made her "famous" crepe pancakes - they were YUMMY! And I am NOT a big pancake fan.
I stopped into Joseph's Mainstreet Bakery to get a cup of coffee - they were packed! And roasting turkeys in the big oven for those who had purchased their Thanksgiving dinner package. Kat, the chef, had also roasted an extra turkey for the bakery to have in celebration once they closed the restaurant that afternoon.
From there, I went back to the big house and sat on the deck, in the sun, and began to make the first of many bracelets. I actually have made pieces of jewelry! My creative juices are just flowing here. Writing, jewelry making, baking -- what's next???
My day was complete after speaking with my mom, my sisters, and Max. Mom was going to join my Grandma at my uncle Dan's home, and my sister Emmie and her husband, Kevin, hosted Kim, Bobby, Meghan, Max, and his dad, Spank.
Happy birthday to my cousin, Jeff - I won't tell his age - and Happy 28th wedding anniversary to my friends Nora & Guy Wesselkamper. Nora, you are a SAINT!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my family and friends!
