This was a very pleasant Thanksgivings Day for me. THANKFUL for that. Hope yours was decent.
Slow paced and relaxing. I needed this. Am thinking about what I am Thankful for.
Lil Miss had no school on Wednesday. We had a slow start to the day. She had an eye appointment, so we had a HAPPY MEAL beforehand and picked up her Mom from work. Went to look at eye glasses.
Don't feel like paying $500 for frames that don't fit my head. Still looking.
Bought eggs for the Deviled Eggs that I'd make for the Dinner on Thursday. I put the eggs in a pan and put enough cold water to cover the eggs. Turned the heat up under the pan and went off to have a cup of coffee. After the eggs came to a boil, I turned the heat off so the eggs could continue to cook in the hot water and went off to the storage unit to get our flocked Christmas tree and stand.
Cleared off the front porch of the harvest decorations and took them to the storage unit. Afterwards, I rinsed the boiled eggs in cold water and peeled the eggs. Watching some television while preparing the eggs made the time go somewhat faster.
My Deviled eggs turned out all right and placed them in a hard plastic egg dish with lid for the fridge.
On Thanksgiving Day we traveled to the little town where my Parents live and had Dinner at Marion Lake. There was plenty of food and I sat with my Parents, Husband, Daughter, Grand-Daughter, Brother Dan, Sis-in-Law Brenda and Brother David. I did get some Dressing and a sliver of Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream. This is really all I wanted and I was pleasantly filled with a delicious THANKSGIVING DINNER. Visited with Relatives, helped clean-up and went to my Parents' Home to visit. Nice. We watched old HOME Movies.
Drove HOME and started Christmas decorating!
I wiped the glass windows in the bump out of the Parlour. I had already done this on Monday, but the windows streaked so terrible. Hope this time it was a cleaner job. The Parlour Radiator was wiped down. Tomorrow I will sweep the wood floor and vacuum the area rug then dust the wood furniture. I'll wash and dry four glass vases to place on the tiny coffee table then fill with silver and white Christmas Ornaments. I need to get some beads to add to the ornaments. Easy and quick decorating that's very affordable and nice to look at.
Hubby sat up our flocked tree and she is rotating as I type. Tomorrow I hope to get some ornaments on the tree, go buy some paint primer and paint for the smallest room of our house. Have big plans of getting the room PAINTED! I am praying for more energy so I can get this place cleaned up and oh so beautiful for the Christmas Holiday. Yes, Yes, Yes. I have got to clear the Dining room Table off. She's covered with a little of this and a little of that. Slowly the Harvest decorations will find there way back into storage boxes and go back into hiding for next year, I'm so ready to have more order in our HOME that I could cry. There's a tear.
The Kansas sky today was powdered blue, white, grey and silver. My tree will look like the color theme of the sky I saw today as I drove our little car to the Thanksgiving Dinner. A Kansas Sky.
The Christmas lights on the tree are sparkling. Looks lovely from my overstuffed chair.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,

So glad you had such a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving!
sounds like a just perfect holiday time for you - thanks for sharing and indeed - time to ho,ho,ho and get ready for Oh Holy Night. I am still debating tree or no tree in my little house -
Sounds like a lovely Thanksgiving. I noticed your brothers are named Dan & David, my sons' names. You are sister to 2 brothers as my daughter is, but her name does not start with 'D'.
Now, on to decorating & celebrating our favorite time of the year, the birth of Jesus!
