giving thanks

 so very thankful

for the warm

 glow of love

 from my god

my family

and

my friends 

it envelopes me like a fuzzy blanket.

my old friend, steve made this awesome harvest table for me, with old barnwood that i had found.

and mr. dan sanded it.

THANK YOU.

love it!

my new friends, esli and david pelly, of pelly farms in kentucky,

searched their 3rd generation farm sheds and found these cool - old - black - boy scout folding chairs for me....david's dad was the boy scout leader.

david even power washed them for me!

perfect, PERFECT sitting around the table!

each one of them DIFFERENT than the other...which i love.

boy scouts sat on these back in the fifties and sixties.....and then they were stored away and forgotten about until i mentioned to esli that i was looking for old folding chairs....

i just hit them with some clear spray sealer....and some  earl  oil, so they fold up without a sound.

more than just a harvest table and folding chairs.

CONNECTIONS

to wonderful people.

giving thanks.

indeed.

my heart is full.

we will be traveling to my daughter and son-in-laws home in mississippi....their very first thanksgiving meal in their new home....served on the very same family table we handed down to them.... that was handed down to us....family.... traditions ....connections...breaking bread together....love.....it is all so important.....
and i am so very thankful.

may you have a blessed thanksgiving
