The Thankful Season

Hello everyone -- how was your week?  I've been taking a break from blogging due to sickness -- again.  Barely six months ago, I had this stuff in the late spring/early summer, and it took awhile to get over.  In my previous post, I mentioned that Hal was sick; his cold turned into bronchitis.  Mine seems to be following the same progression as his, so I really hope I don't wind up with bronchitis, because I hate to be sick at Thanksgiving.  It will work out one way or the other, and there are people in the world with much worse problems.

Here's a real first world problem for you ;)  -- my page views on the blog are way down.  Gasp!  Not that I ever have a ton of views anyway, but it makes me feel bad when they get this low.  {:/  I have nothing new to contribute at the moment, so I'll share some links to past years' posts.

In 2013, we had our Thanksgiving meal at my in-laws' house.  My mother-in-law always sets such pretty tables.

I also shared my favorite holiday broccoli casserole recipe in that post.  You can find all of that Here.

I've only managed to put together one Thanksgiving tablescape during my years of blogging; you can see that Here.

Now that the weather is turning colder, it's good to remember our outside friends, too.  Here's a recipe for bark butter that our backyard birds really love.

As we enter the thankful season, what are you most thankful for this year?  Best wishes to you and thank you so much for reading me.
