All the stuffins' and fixins' in the Sandhills!

Let me be the first to say Happy Thanksgiving! By now your bird should be cooked and shared with family...

I shared my dinner with some turkey's and a few squirrley friends that joined in! But it was all good!

It might not seem like it at first...but there's always enough to go around. Remember the birds of the air? Even they were provided for with the berries of the cedar.

Our moms showed us what was good to eat, and if we were especially blessed, taught us how to prepare for the next generation.

Dads get to horn in on the action, giving direction to their kids or to play with grandkids while the meal is prepared.

Here's hoping you and your flock all had a very Happy Thanksgiving!

You are loved veterans, from the Heart City!!!

So there was a little war with YouTube trying to get this loaded. WE were victorious, just a little bit later than I'd hoped. I was able to have it  posted on https://www.facebook.com/sandhills.vacations in time to thank our veterans.

We want our veterans to know their service made a difference. We are free because of them - and freedom is something we all value greatly. 

The sponsors at Sandhills Western Vacations thank you veterans from the bottom of our Heart City!
