A CORNUCOPIA OF THANKS.......by Cerelle
We are thankful for our family now, and for family heritage which has made our lives whole
For country and the blessings of freedom which we are duty bound to uphold for those who come after
We are thankful for the capacity to improve our circumstances through education and hard work
We are thankful for access to good food and clean water and power to keep our homes warm or cool
We are thankful for all these daily things which we tend to take for granted yet so many do not have
As Quimper Clubs member we are thankful for Lucy and Katie whose friendship and foresight formed our club
We are thankful for all the presidents and officers who over the years have given many hours of their time and skills, directing, organizing, writing, editing the Journal, collecting dues and filing our tax reports, writing the minutes, running the website, sending out updates, and creating the blog, and all the many duties that running our club requires
We are thankful to so many dedicated and talented people who share their expertise freely
And all the generous members who have organized our meetings and planned the events which we look forward to and enjoy
And to those who have opened their lovely homes and welcomed us to share in their beautiful collections
We are thankful to the many authors who researched and wrote books which help us with our searching
And to the experts who have presented programs at our meetings and have helped educate as well as entertain us
We are thankful for the friendships we have formed through our affection for our faïence and our gatherings of common purpose
WE HAVE ENDLESS BLESSINGS, DO WE NOT?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
