praise God from whom all blessings flow~


 
AMAZING FACT:
NOV. 25TH  IS THE DAY MY GRANDMA IRENE WAS BORN.
 
 100 YEARS AGO TODAY!
 
SHE BECAME MY MOM AFTER MINE DIED WHEN I WAS 7.
LOVED THAT WOMAN. SHE ALWAYS SAID THAT MY SISTER
AND I WERE A BLESSING TO HER AND MY GRAMPS~
 THAT WE KEPT THEM YOUNG.
 
THANK YOU GRAM for being my second mom  AND HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK

 
in honor of this most wonderful holiday, here's a collection
of gorgeous tables, set and ready for company.
 
if you're entertaining, do you love to set the table?
make it pretty?
i have a friend who knocks table décor out of the park.
girlfriend puts a lot of time and effort into the
table centerpiece when she entertains.
she could have her own blog about it. :  )
 
she inspires everyone lucky enough to be
invited into her home and she's having a
party for our book club again this year.
(can't wait!)
 
 
here we go~










i love these rich jewel tones that represent  fall

















this one looks like a lot of work, but wouldn't it be fun?
probably can't live in minnesota and realistically plan
to eat outdoors though~just too darned cold here- (like in the 20's  right now).





i'll leave you with this one.  oh "fur" cute~
 
 
 
one of the nicest things about thanksgiving is the
pure simplicity of it. it's a holiday that
only asks that you look around and
count your blessings.
 
oh yeah and eat.
 
 
*our dessert will be pumpkin pie cheesecake from
Costco.
 we are celebrating our first ever holiday all
together at the lodge and
we're pretty darned excited about it . being 30 minutes
from the closest grocer means we have to haul a lot of
coolers and totes of food when we go-but it's so worth it
to be nestled deep in the woods.
 
we will hopefully trek to the
 woods after dinner to cut our
Christmas tree.
we probably have 40 acres of evergreen trees to choose from
~a blessing for sure~
 
 
*******************
but for now, let's get our sweat pants ready
and start dreaming of the pumpkin pie.
 
 
what a heap of blessings it is to have you in my life,
xox...beth
 
 
oh one more thing...which of the tables was your favorite? which one
would you most like to enjoy a meal at?
mine is the one with the gorgeous horse print behind it.
 
* all the photos above were from pinterest.
