This is the week of Thanksgiving.
I have a lot for which to be thankful but am NOT that thankful for the new WordPress set up. Still problems. OTH, it is true that I’ve been using them for years and for free and that is something for which I am grateful…..Sigh.
This is Alice’s window box at the entrance to her home. She always makes it beautiful! I am trying to make my own home a bit more beautiful, even though Thanksgiving will not be held here. My grandmother’s turkey plates are on the hutch cupboard until it is time to change to the Christmas plates….So are my small collection of squirrels and acorns….One squirrel came from the shelf of the clock on the desk of my Dad’s dentist office…..Family will be over and I want them to enjoy the ambiance!
My oldest grandson Nathan told his mother that he liked coming to my house best because it was the coziest of the three where we celebrate Thanksgiving. I’m not sure this was deserved, but I am grateful for this too. My grandchildren are the ones who most of all keep a song in my heart….(But my children are too, and their spouses. I am blessed. And grateful.)
Sounds perfect, Kristi. And you deserve a perfect Thanksgiving.
It is a very pretty window box, tastefully done and very natural-looking, not cramped full of plastic nick-nacks as you sometimes see outsdie (and inside!) people’s houses.
How sweet of Nathan to say that about your house! I am sure it feels exactly that way for all your grandchildren when they come to your place.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Thank you, Meike! We love natural things. The little bird is ceramic, but it’s our state bird of Ohio and one that is always in our yards. I am getting very excited for Thanksgiving.
For me, also – I won’t be hosting Thanksgiving, but because of the event I’ll have lots of company for several days. I am so looking forward to it, and have a long list of projects for them to help me with. I remember when it was like this for my grandmother, who outlived her husband by 20+ years; my father would visit her every few months and she had lots of things needing doing every time he came.
One granddaughter wanted to come and spend Thanksgiving week with me but I didn’t hear about it until too late, so she will spend a couple of nights, and sleep in my room. Thank you for sharing about your cozy house and the family warming it up even more. Happy Thanksgiving!
How lovely to have your granddaughter with you! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Gretchen Joanna!
Hope Thanksgiving went well and you and your family had a fantastic time. I wish we had a similar celebration here.
I love Nathan’s compliment BEST of all. That is so wonderful. I would take the word cozy to mean, loving, comfortable and warm.
Nathan knows the way to his grandmother’s heart. Don’t we all have warm, fuzzy memories of our grandparents’ homes? I hope so as those memories are comforting.
