Ready to eat!!!
a Thanksgiving day walk
 |
| they are almost ready! Just need a few CHILLY nights.... |
As the Thanksgiving sun begins to set, lights flicker on in homes and on the streetlamps. People go back for a left-over turkey sandwich with Duke's mayonnaise and "just one more" piece of the "punkin" pie. Left-overs have been wrapped up, bowls are filled, and the ice box is stuffed full! Little children in footed pajamas start to nod off and full dishwashers are busy humming along. Dogs have been walked and are settling in by crackling fireplaces and people take off their day shoes and put their feet up.....it's been a long but wonderful day. It's time for a good movie, so that is what we did!
I take a moment and remember how thankful I am for our many many blessings. I hope y'all had a nice holiday as well.
So many wonderful pictures and love that turkey platter and paper plates as well. What a wonderful parade and pretty day to celebrate our blessings.
ReplyDeleteWow Debbi, the dollies looked beautiful and so did you! Love your outfit. The turkey platter is SO beautiful! And I didn't watch the parade but now I feel as though I've seen it! Merry Christmas, my friend! xoxo

Love all these amazing pictures! You really watched that parade! I missed most of it, but managed to see Santa at the end! Too busy cooking in the kitchen. Oh Tracie and Amybelle and Tansy all look so stunning in their new outfits! Simply gorgeous!!! Looks like they really enjoyed Thanksgiving too! Your turkey platter is so beautiful...and all the pictures are wonderful. It was a wonderful day, full of many blessings. We have so much to be thankful for, don't we? God bless you dear Debbi. You've certainly given ME much to be thankful for this year. Lily Grace has brought so much joy to our lives! God bless you dear friend, for being such a special special friend.
