Our Thanksgiving

Decided to play around with the photoscape program again. This is what I came up with using the pictures I took yesterday. We had a good day. There were seven of us. I still wore myself out getting ready and doing the meal prep. I could barely move by the end of the day. But after a good rest I can move this morning. Which is a good thing since I have to go to work. No Black Friday shopping for me. Then we have a memorial service to go. At least I hope I can get off work on time to go to it. I was asked to play the organ for this service, but couldn't commit since I had to work. Fortunately another organist was able to fill in for this one.
Anyway, on to yesterday. In the above pictures are the decorations I added for the day. The top three is my center piece for the table. I found the turkeys at Hancock fabrics for 60% off I think. The faux gourds I got there too. They are sitting on doilies that also have in my hutch. Forgot to get a picture of them on the shelves. In the bottom two pictures is a goose that I made I don't know how many years ago. I made him from a panel of printed fabric. All you had to do was sew him together and stuff. I have him sitting on a bed of fall garland. I have decided I am going to try and use the goose in more of my decor.

This is a glimpse of our meal. The top left is the turkey and the Festive Onions. Then we have the stuffing and my green bean casserole. Not the same green bean casserole a lot of other people make. The bottom left shows the stuffing again, the squash casserole my mother made, the gravy and the cranberry sauce. Yes we use the jelled cranberry sauce. It is what we are used to in our family. The bottom right is another view of that end of the buffet area. The fabric is a table runner that I made many years ago. I also used napkins I made out of the same fabric.

Hope everyone had a happy and yummy Thanksgiving!
