Giving Thanks ...

[Scotsman]

Well, it just seems like we were unwrapping Christmas presents a few weeks ago and now the holiday season is back upon us. You know the old saying, "Time flies when your having fun" ... how true.

Lady Guinness and I are thankful for a great many things, among them are our family and friends. Thank you all for making yet another year special for us. Fortunately for us there are way too many old & new friends to recognise and we value every moment spent with you. You are our treasures.

I trust the coming season and year will bring you unwavering happiness and fortune, and may all your paths be lined with gold. And may those paths lead you back to us some day soon. God Bless you all.

A special thanks to our troops who keep us safe and free ... God speed your way home.

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

Dwyn and I are truly blessed to have such a great gift of friendship from all of you...Wishing you the brightest and best this Holiday Season!

With much love,

Capt. Morgan

It was indeed a spectacular season with many friends old and new.  We are all indeed blessed to have so many great friends as part of the faire both in and out of the faire.  Until we meet again my faire winds guide you and keep you.

Friends are Family...but with out the Guilt- MJT (AKA DuCoeur)

And yet, as we gather with Family this holiday, please know that my other Family, that would be all of you  (And you know who you are), are not at all far from my thoughts or my heart.

Best wishes to all of you and may God/dess bless and keep all of you.

Bring all of the troops Home!!!

Friends are the family you get to choose!

Many thanks to the almighty for all my friends (all the posters in this column so far and then some!!)

We are hanging in there today...

Hope everyone had a very nice and safe holiday.  As for me and mine, we gathered up the crew and went to visit my side of the family in Valley Forge PA, then flew back to Maryland to see Jim's mom and sister.  Didn't get home till late, kids were passed out before their little heads hit the pillow - would have to say it was a great today.

Today, however, I was utterly insane, got up at 3am and hit Khol's.  I have to work tonight too. :p
