Happy Thanksgiving!

So sorry for my absence! It is a quiet, frosty morning here, and the day is just waking up. We will have my family over later this afternoon for dinner and pie and games and I can't wait. I am grateful for so many things, including everyone who comes here with so much good will and so many kind words for the past five years. You've brought warmth and beauty and brightness to this place, and I am thankful for so many things you have taught me about the world. Thank you.

On the menu today: Turkey (of course), stuffing, roasted vegetables, seven-layer salad, broccoli caserole, baked beans, au gratin potatoes (from Nigella — these are insane), spinach gratin, sour cream apple pie, pumpkin pie. For the first time I have not done any Christmas shopping in November (I usually shop early) but I have a plan to get it all done tomorrow. Isn't that bizarre? I don't know that I've ever even shopped on Black Friday before. But I am really looking forward to getting out there in the crowds and fun, for some reason. Cooking and shopping seem like a vacation compared to all the stuff we've been doing lately, and I cannot wait.

Wishing you a great weekend and start to the holiday season!
Love always,

Alicia & Co.

Have fun!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Andy! I enjoy your blog so much, and I'm always happy to see a new post.
Have a great day - your menu sounds awesome. Good luck with that shopping tomorrow :)

Sounds like you'll have a cozy and yummy evening.

Happy Thanksgiving.
*Posie Gets Cozy* is definitely on my gratitude list.

Oooh, sounds good... I want to have dinner at your house! Have a lovely Thanksgiving with your family.

Thank you for sharing so much with us out in bloggyland. I am working on the wreath from your December 2005.

Christmas gifts--I have the solution!!!! There are so many fantastic pictures that you have taken; why not enlarge ((8 x 10 say) and reprint some on good quality paper, then frame them. People would love such a personal gift from you.

Cheers and enjoy your meal. We had our thanksgiving last month (Canada) so I am ready for more!!!

Hoping you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am so thankful for your blog.....I look forward to reading it after a long day at work! Thanks for all the pictures and sharing your wonderful family with us.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and Andy and your fur parade! I'm grateful for your cozy, happy blog!

Have fun! I've never been either (Canadian, I am.) but I think you might be happy to get home to your new bathroom!

Your mantle looks beautiful and your menu sounds great. Have a wonderful holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all in the Paulson household! Thanks for a fab and inspirational blog! ::xx::

Wishing you and yours a fabulous Thanksgiving and a fun time tomorrow. Thank you for being such a bright spot in my day and for always being an inspiration. Cheers.

Alicia! Where did you get that cross-stitch? Is it a pattern? Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

Happy Thanksgiving Alicia and Andy and Clover Meadow and the cats!! (I'm so sorry that I can't remember their names - please don't tell them!) Alicia, I am an official "lurker" I guess, (I hate that term - sounds so creepy) and I guess I thought the holiday was the time to say I just love your blog and the kindness and courage you have to share your life with the world. You have a wonderful "eye" and clearly a huge heart. Thank you for being a blessing on my Thanksgiving day!

Yes, regarding Martha...I recorded that one and the one with her Thanksgiving desserts. I made her apple and pecan pie. I love seeing her cook with her mother. She dedicated one of her shows to her mother since she recently passed away. Thanks for the post...Happy Thanksgiving and God Bless America!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
hugs
-missy-

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Alicia. Hope tomorrow's shopping is all that you've anticipated (and no more).
