"Where we love is home,
Home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
This morning, in the kitchen, I fixed the last of this weekend's food.
A yummy Pinterest find and my trusty banana bread.
Please note the totally-on-sale-paper plates bought for all post turkey day munching.
It's time for leftovers and I'm off dish duty!
My favorite couple added a puppy to their little family.
We all love having him around!
I'm thankful for my daughter's hands - gentle, strong hands
that care for children, cuddle puppies, take wonderful photos
and shuffle a mean deck of cards.
I'm not sure if it was the bubbles in the cocktail,
the cocktail itself,
poor card playing skills
or just dumb luck...
but I lost our afternoon game of hearts.
To cheer me up after the tragic defeat,
we got out a beautiful puzzle...
a beautiful, large, difficult puzzle.
we'll be joining the trees, pond and lily pads
near the Japanese Bridge in Monet's garden.
Linking up with Tabitha for Sunday Citar
and Ashley for Scavenger Hunt Sunday
These are beautiful!! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
