    It is early for me to start yet but know we have TE sisters all over the world I figured it was time to start the global beer fest!

    W00T! It's past 6 pm here, so I can start drinking beer!

    Lyra is usually not allowed on the counter when there's food there, but like a sensible cat took full advantage of the situation as soon as I was occupied with the camera.

    A toast to my TE friends, most of whom I've never met. I feel like I have this huge network of smart, funny, friendly women all around the world that I can ask about almost anything. A special toast to those of you who have been in hospital or who have family in hospital. We're thinking of you tonight.

    This is one holiday I could gladly adopt. A happy Thanksgiving to all!

    I wish a very happy Thanksgiving to all of our American members, and I am very thankful for all of the women in this forum. I probably won't ever meet most of you in person but that is ok, we have certainly come to learn a lot about each other and the supportive atmosphere here is great.

    This is my post dinner and post ride beer, a lovely Porter (Upland's Bad Elmer's Porter). Nice fire (even if it is popping a bit), good beer, good music as I relax with a good book. I had dinner with some friends today and they helped me make a good start on my growler of fresh and local Porter

    A Thanksgiving toast to all my TE friends. It's my last Samuel Adams Octoberfest in my New Glarus Spotted Cow glass. I can pretend I'm drinking Wisconsin beer

    We are celebrating the holiday tomorrow and I am cooking this evening. What a perfect time to take a break and thank all the ladies who have taught me so much and given me so much support over the years. I am very blessed. Thank you.

    I'm not taking a picture since I've been in my rattiest sweats and a t-shirt since running this morning, but I'm raising a glass (err, coffee mug) of Great Divide Oak-Aged Yeti to you all!

    I'm too tired to take a picture and today's not a beer day for me anyway. But I'll raise my glass of Valley Vineyards Ohio sparkling wine to you - will get the photo of me with my glass and dinner plate from DH before the weekend's out - and tomorrow I'll toast you in Great Lakes Blackout Stout.

    Have to post a pic without beer in it, but I raised my favorite Shipyard Pumpkin Ale to all of you earlier.

    Like others, I am truly thankful for this community of women, most of whom I will never meet in person. I know I can come here, and be me. Thanks to all of you for the support, the advice, and the friendship!

    I tried a self-photo in the bathroom mirror. I should have had my friends take a picture when I was at their house for dinner but I forgot. This is my fresh off the bike with what remained of the growler I took to share at my friends house. There was just enough to fill the glass in my fireplace shot. I DID wait until after I got cleaned up before I actually poured my official TE toast beer

    I was at the in-laws house until late last night- so no drinking for me (they are strict Baptists that do not allow alcohol). So tonight I will raise my glass to all of you- from the hot tub in the backyard...
