MOOD BOARD


Here we are... one of another of my favorite weeks in November. Here in the States we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving Day this week. Once again, families and chosen families will gather and celebrate the true meaning of the holiday however we see fit. And yes, that may mean excessive food and drink, as in my case, or the  sometimes awkward family reunion, for which I don't have, as I have a sane and sensible family for which I'm truly grateful. From the blessings we have all received thus far, loved ones, new opportunities, and good friends, health, and the fact we're still here during these times, it really is something to be thankful for.  As for the big day, I have taken over the cooking of the dinner, to take it off my aunt and uncle for another year. Cooking for my aunt is like cooking for her role model Julia Child...so absolutely no pressure people.*biting my nails*. I'm all set with my food shopping done, and just awaiting to pick up our fresh turkey from the farm. Have you your menus already for the day? I'm already getting excited thinking about the preparations, the smells, the taste testing, and the sound of the parades in the background. Am I nuts? Yes, but then so are the best people! I will dress up, but can tell you, I won't look as cute as Ann Miller down there. And I refuse to shave my legs.

  4. I'm not doing anything special for Thursday other than visiting my father. The Dallas Cowboys are hosting my Las Vegas Raiders, and my team will be serving up a few turkeys that afternoon anyway.

    I might hotwire a tanker truck full of Hendrick's. ;-)

  6. Well, I can tell you that, whether you shave your legs or not, you will always be cuter than Ann Miller! (I have always loved that Laurel and Hardy image.)

  8. Ann Miller would take a picture with a corpse! That girl was married to SHOW BIZ! Who is the last lady? Betty Grable? I dunno. Lover Oliver and Laurel - growing up, I watched their films and thought they were married to each other. Oh, and the lady in one of the first photos, with the turkey... I feel like I should know who that is, too. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, darling boy. Kizzes.

  9. Good luck on cooking. Do we get to see the outfit (I hope)?

    We are sad to miss out on dinner with the BFJ and friends in CT this year, but I'm grateful to be spending the day at home, in relative health, with hubby and dogs. (We will have catered meal to keep things simple this year.)

  14. Sigh. I wish I was in the good old U.S of A. I love a turkey dinner!
    Are the table settings yours? The sweet little pumpkin!
    I bet Agnes loves it.

    How heartwarming to see laurel and Hardy. I watched them for hours as a child. Stan laurel was born in Ulverston. Not far from here. They have a statue of him.

    Thanks again and hope all goes well cooking for your family. Happy Thanksgiving!. X
