Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is my all time favorite holiday.
What is there NOT to love????
Food, family, food, fun, family, laughing, food, and there is NO present buying stress involved. How awesome is that????
I really enjoy hosting it at our house. It is so much fun having all of our family with us at one time.. you know, the in-laws, the out-laws & some straglers off the street.
November in Florida; the weather is usually perfect for us to have the entire house open. We use the dining room table, the kitchen table and the outside table too. If we invite even more people next year, we may need to use the pool table as well. :0
But no matter which table you sit at, you always feel special. So special that I may even offer the wishbone to YOU!
And if you know me, you know that there is usually not one dish left in the cupboard when dinner is served…no paper plates or plastic silverware either. ALL the good stuff gets used on special occasions. (ok, most days are a special occasion, right?)
I have so much to be thankful for…I hope you do as well.
gosh, it is already August 24th…suppose it is too early to start setting the tables????
Who is coming???? Dinner will be served at 3:00 sharp.
To see how others used the letter T today, visit: Z-A Mondays.
Good Morning Suzanne, Oh you have me thinking about Thanksgiving foods and decorations and family get-togethers now. Autumn in general is my favorite time of the year. Hope you all have a great week.

Thanksgiving at your house seems to be a very special, happy day. We have almost autumn-like temperatures here in Tennessee today, so maybe it's not to early to think about setting tables!

I love Thanksgiving and everything that goes along with it. And I am all about a sprinkling of sarcasm. I am actually all about handfuls of it.

how lucky you are! my family is so dysfunctional that we are not close and my husband's family, whom I love, are on the east coast. so our thanksgivings are not that exciting.
