I can't let Thanksgiving come and go without letting my friends here know how thankful I am to have formed ties with you! I'm grateful for all the good times and the sad times we share together.
These little candles have been in my collection for a long time. The 26 cent price on the bottom of them tells me they weren't bought anytime recently!
I hope your Thanksgiving is full of all the special moments that make you happy.
Our son and two grandsons will be joining Grayden and Samuel and I tomorrow. We'll be having all the traditional Thanksgiving foods. I'm remembering last Thanksgiving when we served a roast beef because of many changes of plans. It really doesn't matter the food, but the fellowship with family that is important.
Thanksgivings have changed over the years for us. How about you? Have your traditions changed like ours have over the years?
This Thanksgiving I am reminded to be kind, be thoughtful, be genuine, but most of all be thankful! Have a great time of Thanksgiving, my friends!
You have such a special collection of seasonal collectibles Martha Ellen. I love them all. You are right, it’s the special company around our table I am most thankful for, not the food we put on it. Plans more often than not get changed. I am very thankful for your friendship dear friend. You are such a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your dear family.
ReplyDeleteDenise, you are a blessing to me, dear friend! Kindred spirits on so many levels. Thanksgiving is a special time to remember all of our blessings. I certainly count your friendship among those blessings! I trust you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with your dear family.
DeleteI love those candles! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mrs. White! Those little candles make us smile. Sending you hugs across the miles. I'm sure you enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving with your family!
DeleteAnd a very Happy Thanksgiving to you Martha Ellen! We've stuck to tradition here but sometimes we switch the day to accommodate travelers. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's important to be flexible, isn't it? I'm sure you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving Martha Ellen to you and Graydon and your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI have decorative candles purchased my first year in America ~ 1978! Your decorative touches are perfect.
Thank you, dear friend. I would love to see your decorative candles. I think these must have been from the same era! Have a cozy happy weekend.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Martha Ellen! We are blessed to have family with us.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Nellie. I received your lovely Thanksgiving card today. You are so kind. I'm so glad you had family to join you this year.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you Martha Ellen! Same traditions here of turkey and dressing.
ReplyDeleteThe food as you say doesn't matter. With families growing larger with my sisters and niece who have grandchildren now, it's not the same as it used to be. We will have son, daughter in law and grand girls. Mama will have dinner with my sister this year and we will see her on Friday for a belated birthday lunch at restaurant of pizza. Her favorite. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Betsy! Your mother is amazing and I'm sure you have enjoyed being with her celebrating quite a milestone birthday. Pizza sounds good to me!
DeleteI hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ms. Ellen Martha
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to read my most recent post.
Thank you--our Thanksgiving was wonderful. I will try to visit soon.
DeleteThank you, Martha Ellen This is a beautiful post. I hope your Thanksgiving holiday was indeed a lovely one, and I second your thoughts about being grateful for our blogging companions!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanie. It's quite surprising to me that such strong friendships have formed over the years of blogging.
DeleteOh, I love those little candles. They are perfect for Thanksgiving. My son cooked the turkey this year, and it was his best one, so moist and tender. And he made a green bean casserole, which I haven't had in a long time. It's nice that you got to spend it with your son as well, Martha Ellen. I love seeing all your holiday lovelies in your home. I'm thankful for YOU too. : )

Sheri, those little candles are quite old--just like me! How wonderful your son cooked! Your meal sounds delicious. Thank you for always commenting on my little blog. You are so thoughtful--It's not wasted on me, dear friend!
DeleteA belated Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Martha Ellen! I'm sure you all enjoyed the special day together. You're right . . . the food is not the mainstay, but gathering with your dear ones and the offering up of our thanks . . . those are the real joys of the day! And, oh yes, I am grateful for you too, and for your friendship through the years!
ReplyDeleteWe had a lovely day together, Cheryl! I trust you and your family enjoyed your day as well, though I know it must have been bittersweet, my friend. I always love hearing from you and look forward to your next post!
DeleteIt looks lovely, I do hope you enjoyed a happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you, Jan. Thanksgiving was great with all three grands and our son. All the best to you and your family.
