Thanksgiving was a sunny and crisp day. Her heart was full of happiness as the phone calls started arriving the day before. "Mama, I am so excited about us all being together in the country". They started arriving at 10:30 with smiles and hugs. All food prepared was perfect - oh except her usual mile high meringue on the banana pudding did not rise to the occasion - but it was still tasty.
The turkey would melt in your mouth.
Her son spent the night and fulfilled her wish. A desire for him to walk the property line and locate where some horse back rider's were entering. It was found, a phone call made, and she thinks it is taken care of.
Callie is an outside dog and will be inside when the weather is bad. Love was mutual between family member's and Miss Callie. She seems to have fallen in love with her family.
Her little granddaughter's usually want to brave the chilly weather and sometimes need some additional warm clothes and they are all set. They have on grandma's gloves, hats, scarves and sweater. This picture taken a few weeks earlier is similar to the way they looked on Thanksgiving day. They make their own fashion statement.
One Woman has so much to be thankful for and is so aware of the many blessings that have taken place in this year 2009. There were children and grandchildren that were many miles away and they were not seated at the big table but in time that will happen.
Wishing you peace, health, happiness this day.

What a lovely memory to add to your blessings list. Miss Callie certainly looked pleased with her new home. All in all I'm so happy for you in your 'country home.'
Everyone looks so happy, but your son was outnumbered!

Over the river and through the woods...! This looks like the kind of Thanksgiving little children dream of. Glad to see that One Woman is truly living her dream.
Balisha and LR, thank you for visiting. Yes, the little ones are changing so quickly, LR - hope I am making memories.
Trip to the grocery this morning.
Frig is finally empty. Have a great day.
The leaves in your woods are down! Yes I love my fireplace, and woodstove...direct sources of heat. OF course when the furnace is on, and very cold out a fireplace not efficient, but for these in-between weeks, when some days not as cold, it takes the chill off. Plus the atmosphere.
Glad your family could all be there, well most of them for the lovely looking Thanksgiving you had.
Mim, thanks for visiting. Like I shared - I miss a real fire. Had them through the years - so guess I am lucky!!
So glad you had such a good Thanksgiving. We had a great one as well with all my children home. WE both have so much to be thankful for. A lovely picture of you and your family.
Judy, thanks for visiting.
