My laptop computer is not functioning properly, so I am atempting to post my Friday Fave Fives on my tablet. Sorry for the delay...
This is what I am thankful for this wee1k focused into one day. A Day of Thanksgiving at our house.
1. All the people. Fourteen. We had expected more, but some people were sick. Our usual seven. Plus our new family of four. That makes eleven, right? Then we added a twelve year old girl who flew in from Virginia to see Younger Daughter's family, a twelve year old boy who flew from Texas to spend the week with Older Daughter and Tall Boy, and a co-worker of Older Daughter who recently moved to the area.
2. I am thankful for a full table of food. I realize that not everyone in our world has abundant food to eat. I am thankful for God's provision.
3. Pies. So many pies! As The Professor states, "You can't have too many pies."
4. There was so much laughter around the table. I am so thankful for family and friends who bring so much joy and fun to us.
5. Most of all, I am thankful for my husband. He did almost all of the cooking, the baked ham, the barbecued salmon, the roasted vegetables. He helped me knead the dough for the homemade rolls. He's a keeper for sure.
Since I cannot access my computer, you will have to enjoy photos of our April England trip. Just fun random pictures.

Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving Day. So sorry about those who were sick. I also got sick and had to cancel our big gathering here at our house, (would have been 13) but our own kids rallied to the occasion and brought us a complete dinner, hot and ready to eat. So we ended up with just our immediate family here, five of us, and we had a peaceful and pleasant day. They did everything from start to finish, and I did not have to lift one finger except to eat! God is good and He knows exactly what we need. Your pictures from England are so lovely. Thank you for sharing.
You had quite a crowd for Thanksgiving! I'm so sorry that some couldn't come because of sickness. Your husband sure does sound like a keeper!
I love your England photos. The one with the cottage and sheep is so sweet and peaceful!
I hope you get your computer problems sorted out soon. If my laptop isn't working, then I'd have to resort to my phone.
I hope you have a great weekend!
Sounds like you had a very nice Thanksgiving. I hope you have a very good weekend. See you again soon!
Sounds like you had a fun busy Thanksgiving and yes I'd definitely keep your hubby. Hope you get the computer sorted out soon. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
What a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a similar thought about our abundance of food. Amen to never having too many pies!
It's always fun to have special guests join in at the Thanksgiving table. It's also such a blessing to have a helpful husband. Happy Thanksgiving a few days late to you and yours.
I'm all for random images of beauty!
Your abundant table filled with family and friends new and old sounds absolutely delightful. What a gem is your husband for getting all that food ready for your guests.
Wow, that is a big group but it sounds like so much fun! A helpful husband in those times is a blessing indeed!
Let me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.
Thanks.
