A Southern Life

Southern Thanksgiving Preview

Its’ a Thanksgiving preview for Tablescape Thursday!

http://www.betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/

So, I got everthing out and went for a preview of the Thanksgiving table. Why do a preview? This is a good chance to make sure you have everything. All the butter knives all the salad plates, napkins, candles. I did find a couple of things that I need to check on. I will need more candles and I need to do a little more ironing on the napkins. I also went ahead and got out serving pieces to make sure they are all clean and ready to go.

Looks good so far. I may turn up the lights a little or add more candles.

I just love the look of crystal sparkling in the candlelight.

I can’t wait for all the family to arrive. I love making things look nice for them. Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday.

As I was running errands today, I ran into so many friends who are struggling during this recession. I am so grateful for friends and my prayer is that we all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and can have just a little bit of time to forget our troubles and be thankful for our blessings, however smal they may seem. I’ll have to say, my heart is breaking over so many people who are just really experiencing tough times. If it is you that is experiencing a tough time, please know that I care and am praying for our nation and for everyone who is facing trying times.

Have a great Tablescape Thursday and check out everyone who has made something beautiful today!

    Can I simply just say what a comfort to uncover somebody who really understands what they are talking about over the internet. You definitely realize how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people really need to read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you are not more popular given that you most certainly have the gift.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Right now it looks like Movable Type is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
