Happy Thanksgiving! We truly do have so many things to be thankful for, they don't have to be BIG things, but should also include the little things in life. So today, as you take the time to study the photos here, also pause to think about the blessings in your life.

Sharon Bodenus snapped the first two photos and while I like the crashing Lake Superior wave on the Marquette Harbor break wall, my favorite of the two is the top photo. Just a dusting of snow on the shoreline grasses and a thin layer of almost clear ice on the small lake behind where she lives. Beautiful, but also chilly looking, too. Be sure you head over to Sharon's Facebook Photography group page for a look at more of her work: Upper Peninsula Photography-Sharon Bodenus.

The last two photos come to us from Paulette Aho over in the White Pine area. She had these turkeys strutting around in her back yard. Pretty neat to see the Tom all puffed out and displaying his finest attire for the camera. He's probably quite thankful himself, to have survived another Thanksgiving holiday and still be here to gobble about it. Hope you enjoy your turkey day, too!

Happy Thanksgiving to all pasty.com folks! A wonderful holiday to count all our blessings.

Beautiful pictures today ~ and a couple that got away!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all! Hope you all have a wonderful day with the people you love!

Sorry to see Bob Chase, legendary hockey announcer, pride of Negaunee, and NMU Wildcat, passed away this morning:

Chase hailed from Negaunee, Michigan, where he was born January 22, 1926. He grew up in Marquette, Michigan and after high school joined the U.S. Navy where he served from 1943-1947. Upon his discharge from the Navy, Bob entered Northern Michigan University at Marquette and graduated in 1952.

Hoping everyone had a nice T-Day! I'm off to the health club to burn off some fat. Did I say "some fat"?

Happy Thanksgiving weekend to the U.S.

The 2nd picture is awesome!
