Celebrate Your Story #153

Celebrate Your Story!

Every Monday, I start to sing the song Celebrate! Celebrate! because I know it is time for another “Celebrate Your Story” Link Party and my feature post is all about food and why not as it is Thanksgiving month and food is the topic on most people’s mind.

I have to tell you that I am anxious to begin my planning for my Thanksgiving dinner even though it will most likely include all our favorites from years gone by. 

You know the old saying…if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it….and it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without our old favorites. 

However, I am making an adjust on one of my favorites, which is sweet potatoes, and I will share that with you soon.

We usually invite friends and neighbors who don’t have family close by and a few sno-birds too.

And then we relax on Friday.

None of that crazy shopping for me…no way do I want to be a part of the pushing and shoving and fighting over a paisley scarf or a big screen TV. LOL

I do all my shopping online and all I have to do is wrap, pack and ship.

The Captain and I have already made plans to do what we always do on Black Friday and that is to cuddle by the fireplace and watch old movies.

Sigh! So now let’s get started with our favorites from last week’s link party.

Chloe, Sandra and myself have picked some real winners so be sure to check them out please.

The features from last week’s entries are:

These apple fritters are definitely calling my name, Next to maple long johns, they are always my next pick at the donut shop or bakery when I decide to splurge.

Don’t these look scrumptious?

Carol at the Red Painted Cottage gave us a tour of the Frederik Meijer Gardens  and Sculpture Park. I love the waterfalls and the beautiful fall foliage.

And then Michelle at Our Crafty Mom shows us how to make a buffalo checked mason jar. I really like buffalo check and I have a big shirt that is black and white and I always get compliments on it when I wear it. By the way, this was the most clicked on post at our Link party.

 And look at this chocolate pound cake recipe from Shirley at Intelligent Domestications. 

Oh my goodness, doesn’t that look delish?

This would also be a good recipe for Valentines Day…yummy!

I am going to have to add this recipe to my recipe file as who doesn’t love chocolate and maraschino cherries?

So come on dear friends …add your link to this week’s link party and perhaps your post will be featured next Monday!!!
