THANKFUL

 


Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. One of my favorite days with the parade, and most of all... the smells of the house from the dinner that will be enjoyed later. The pheasant vessel was my grandmothers and hasn't seen flowers in it since probably the sixties. My talented friend, the Dame made an arrangement in it that will grace the dinner table with family later. My late aunt loved flowers, as do I. So,  at the dinner she will be remembered, my grandmother too with this vessel, and the cooking I'm doing with all the family recipes from both sides of the family for the day. While we all bitch and groan at times, I am lucky and truly grateful and thankful for the little things in my life. I hope we can all find things to be thankful for.


Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
