Thanksgiving Dinner for 25

 
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday as it involves good friends and family and a menu I adore....and I find not hard to cook.....and no presents are involved!
This was our Thanksgiving dinner...I had someone ask if it was a "sit down" dinner...my response was "I have enough chairs for everyone to "sit down" after you "dip up" your plate! " so there...hope everyone had a great day....

ABC Wednesday S is for

 
Simon and Sparty....on the DOG couch...only for them because it is old and furry!! Sparty the Spaniel loves any of the other dogs that will let him cuddle up to them...Simon is more than agreeable....Enjoy more ABC around the world hosted by Denise and the ABC team.....

Our first snow

Not only is it our first snow of the season, it is Sparty's first snow as well....he seemed to not mind the snow and I could not get him to come in as he was eating the snow.....just like a kid!

Windmills

 
These were in Pennsylvania and boy were they TALL....I guess I had no idea how tall they are but I sure was impressed by them....as well as how they stood out in the sky.....

Music

 
I wish I could have captured their music....but I still like this photo. This was the group that played for my nephew's wedding.....

Winter is coming

 
The geese were flying all around the house the other morning. I love the way they are in a formation.....This was taken in my back yard.

ABC Wednesday R is for Railwalk

 
It is ABC Wednesday-- here is my contribution. This is the train station near me that takes you downtown to Chicago. The village has worked very hard to make this appealing so homeowners might want to buy near the railyway or railwalk!
Thanks to Denise for hosting ABC Wednesday!

The three sisters

 
This is a picture of the 3 of us at the wedding I went to last week for my nephew....this is for Peter to show him I was really there! I will tell you that I am the middle child and the tallest. Dare you guess who is the older sister and the younger sister? no hard feelings either way!!!!

Skywatch Friday

 
Welcome to Skywatch Friday hosted by the skywatch team!.....I just liked the way the sun came through the trees.

ABC Wednesday Q is for Quaint

This is a little antique store in Middleburg, Virginia...It just struck me as "quaint". Have a great ABC Wednesday hosted by Denise.

A 150 Southern red oak tree

While in Virginia, we saw this magnificent oak tree.......It was HUGE....and according to the sign in front of it....150 years old. Amazing!

This is the sugar maple that is out of our family room window.

I am off for a long weekend to another family wedding. I have been too busy to blog in advance. I will catch up with all of you next week! Have a good weekend!

ABC Wednesday P is for Puppy

 
It is ABC Wednesday again, hosted by Denise.....P is for the puppy I am watching....Sparty. Enjoy all the ABC's here

A Rose is a rose

 
Even though it got pretty chilly a few weeks ago, my Bonica hedge roses are not giving up yet!!! This one just opened yesterday!

My Sugar Maple

 
My sugar maple still has its leaves...as does the clump linden and the oaks down the street.......
