Have A Retro Thanksgiving

Retro-thanksgiving-postcard 
Happy Thanksgiving Friends!  I hope you have a very retro holiday, with traditional foods and loads of good memories of Thanksgivings past.

My son is home for the long weekend, and we have a big family feast planned for Turkey Day.  I hope you all have many blessings to be thankful for as you sit around your tables.  This year has been more of a challenge to our family in terms of making a list of what we are thankful for.  Despite some adverse luck, there is still much to be grateful for, and I plan to consider it all with much appreciation.

Aside from the Thanksgiving itself, I will be working Black Friday and Saturday….  Welcome to the world of retail!  I will be taking a the rest of the week off, so be sure and check back with me on Monday to see if any sewing got done!

  17. Ah, yes! The traditional fare will be on the table – or mostly so. AMIL loves new recipes, so this year the green bean recipe will be new instead of the green bean casserole. I’ll make Mary Lou’s corn pudding that’s been a family favorite since 1962 when we were Mary Lou’s neighbors!
    After Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches are our favorites. We put mayo on bread, and add turkey, a slice of cornbread dressing, and a good smear of cranberry sauce. The taste is just this side of heaven but it can be messy!
    Happy Thanksgiving to all y’all!
    Hugs!
