The Four Phases of Thanksgiving...

Gentle Friends, I thought I would share some of our Thanksgiving and broke it down into 4 snaperoos...

 ... so I set the table this year with "Historic America" china ... my mom's wedding silver, my granny's crystal, some other bits and pieces of silver from various ancestors on the old family tree...the linen is from my great -grandmother...so once again I enjoyed remembering past Thanksgivings and family... Rico created the arrangement...

 ... we were a small group this year and our Thanksgiving consisted of..turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, roasted brussel sprouts, white mashed potato, sweet potato casserole, crescent rolls, along with red and white wines...

 ... the aftermath of the meal and cleaning up...

and then Saturday night we hauled out the leftovers for sandwiches!!

It was a lovely day now it's on to Christmas!!

Take Care,

  3. I adore the elegance displayed at your Thanksgiving table; the "presence" of many generations and fond memories...I know, and thoroughly appreciate, all the effort that goes into such an endeavor! Ba Humbug to disposable plates and cutlery...I know, I'm a snob!!!
