The house is clean. The yard is clean. The turkey is ready to go into the cooled brine. All of the ingredients for the stuffing are cooked and cooling, ready to be combined and refrigerated over night. Jill is finished with conferences and checked in to make the cranberry sauce. My berry pie is baked.
The table is set.
The weather is still mild and mostly sunny and will hold at least through Thanksgiving day.
No one is coming over the river and through the wood to Grandmother's house, although several will cross over the Narrows of Puget Sound and several others will cross over the Lake Washington Ship Canal so bridges are involved, but no snow, no ice, no sleigh, and for tomorrow, not grandmother's house.
We will all have issues that need to be dealt with in our daily lives, but tomorrow we will all have much to be grateful for as well. We can all count our blessings.
Happy Thanksgiving to my blog family. May your blessings outweigh all else and may you have a day filled with love.
You are ready for a beautiful day and one that I have no doubt will be filled with love, Linda!! Thanks for sharing the beauty of your life and family with us!! Enjoy!!!

Your table looks like something out of a magazine. It is perfect! The pie is perfect too. I think it is so important to celebrate each other in a lovely setting. I know that those of you who gather will certainly enjoy the time and the day. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, and of Jill.
ReplyDeleteWe will be going to my step-daughter's house. My husband's children, his former wife, and my husband and I will be there. My daughter and her children will meet us there. I am grateful that at least one of my children and two of my grandchildren will be there. I had hoped that more could come, but we too have the parceling out children going between houses this year. That is our reality. It also is a day filled with love and gratitude, just as you said.
Happy Thanksgiving, Linda.
your table is beautiful
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and all your family Linda
I just showed Art your table and he said, "Holey moley! I'd live to be invited to that house for Thanksgiving." Art bakes the pumpkin pie at our house, and he was really impressed with your pie. It is a work of art, Linda. Wow! From our house to yours, we wish all of you a most wonderful Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI am so grateful to my blogging family, too. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Linda. I LOVE that pie picture. :-)
