Today was Thanksgiving Day!
For those of you not in the USA, Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday where families and friends get together for a special meal to give thanks for their life.
I had a lovely meal with some co-worker friends.
 |
| Our beautiful place settings, fancy silverware and all... |
The meal traditionally consists of turkey or ham (depending on regional traditions and personal preferences)...
 |
| Our delicious orange-stuffed bird, prepared by Richard. |
... mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes (again depending on regional/personal preferences- we had both), bread stuffing, bread rolls and a few other sides!
 |
| My friend, Dee made this delicious salad. |
 |
| I made apple-sage stuffing "cupcakes," of course! Richard re-plated it to a pretty glass tray, but I forgot to take a photo. |
Birgit and her husband Richard were wonderful hosts and it was a beautiful, fun and festive occasion!
 |
| Birgit, with her husband, Richard (who tells the BEST story line jokes)! |
 |
| My friend Kristin, matched the pillows and so I took a quick candid photo. Despite what she will tell you, she is very photogenic! |
 |
| Birgit's beautiful kitty, asking me to brush him... |
 |
| Time for a quick shameless mirror selfie! We just happened to co-ordinate (on accident). |
 |
| "Why aren't you paying attention to me?" he meowed... I finally brushed him and he was a happy kitty, purring so loudly! |
Thanksgiving Day is almost at it's end, but I wanted to squeeze in a quick post about what I am thankful for.
I am thankful for a lovely day with friends today.

| Clockwise from top: Me, Birgit, Maria,Dee, The Turkey, Kristin |
I am thankful for all the gifts God has given me: my friends, my family- especially my Grandmas and aunts and uncles, my pets, my amazing co-workers, and also my job- which gives me the freedom to do what I love. I am thankful for my imagination and for dreams and for hope and truth.
All of the things that I am thankful for could not be listed in a single blog post. It would take many many books to list everything for which I am thankful.
So I will just say this: I am so thankful for my life and I am so blessed. I am also very thankful for you. Those who read my posts give me something to be exited about and I love sharing my ideas and my life with you!
I thought I would share a few photos from my day. I hope you enjoyed them and I hope your day was as lovely as mine.

Oh my goodness...your kitty is SO adorable!! I didn't know you have a cat. Also, everything looked beautiful and delicious. How did you do the stuffing?
ReplyDeleteActually that was my hosts kitty! Those eyes were positively mesmerizing!
ReplyDeleteI only did the stuffing this time, so most of the compliments should go to them!
If you want, I can post a blog with my stuffing recipe! It was my own creation! :)
