Happy Thanksgiving To All…. My friends, I am sharing a tablescape from 2016…That year I set up two tables because we served two dinners on different days.

As I get older, I am finding I have different likes and dislikes. I don’t know, maybe they were always there but I kept them hidden in the back recesses of my mind. I say all of that to say this: I DON’T LIKE SCAREY!!!!!! Yep! I am the one who hasn’t seen all the…
Wow! How is it already time for Thanksgiving…. and this is my first blog hop since my illness. Well, to be honest, I have been out of the thick of things for a year and a half, but with God’s help, I am back among the active people. However, I have to admit that I…
Hello Sweet and Dear Friends…..Yes, I am back and believe it or not, I have actually set up a Fall tablescape.
