Due to a change in plans, I got to have our bridge club
in November this year.
In order to stay in the decoration competition
(which, of course, no one owns up to us having)
I had to dig out some thanksgiving stuff.
Some of these items had not seen the light of day
in years, and I had forgotten how pretty they are!
in years, and I had forgotten how pretty they are!
So...I want to show them off.
They may not come out again in my lifetime!
Starting at the front:
Starting at the front:
My darling Susan planted this urn for me!
And you've seen this!
It does come out every year!
The entry hall:
Don't remember ever seeing these before,
but aren't they darling!
The hearth:
I knew where these little fellers were hiding!
This is not really "thanksgivingy" but...
Something special in the kitchen:
Susan gave this to me when Jack was so very ill.
It also comes out every year, and I always
hate to put it up.
And on the kitchen table:
Lo and behold, this turkey was hiding with the
little pilgrim couple under a table skirt!
The dining table:
Began with these beautiful placemats
blatantly copied from Darlene Mitchell!
I took 14 pictures, and this was the best.
You'll just have to take my word for how
splendiferous it looks!
I couldn't resist buying a special sofa pillow--
the one on the right that says Gather Together--
for Thanksgiving.
I love the way sofa pillows look, but always find
them somewhat irritating when trying to
actually sit on the sofa.
I looked up and...
Apparently my bridge friends agree.
These photos are only partially posed!
Barbara Martin had actually placed the one she is
holding on the floor beside the sofa when I noticed it.
And poor Ken Mitchell was suffering through sitting
on "Gather Together!"
But Joan Clements and Steve Lockwood
were already holding theirs, exactly as pictured!
Be sure to note that even the small one from one
of the chairs has
been relegated to the coffee table by Dan Phillips!
We had a great evening, as usual.
I made a special cake for these tee-totalin' Baptists.
It is Shay Shull's Margarita bundt.
I told the group they would have to show their ID
in order for me to serve them!
Of course, I laughed more than anyone else because I
just tickle myself to death, you know!
But all loved the cake!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
"I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds."
