Glad that after the hitches at the beginning you went on to have a wonderful time. I do envy you your relationship with your sisters. I have two but we don't see each other often nor my brother. Not for want of trying on my part but there you go - perhaps one day. <br />Your meal sounded delicious and everywhere looked so cosy.<br />I wonder if your ears were burning yesterday- though I think you may well have been tucked up in bed. It was Saturday morning at 10.15 here. I arrived at cardmaking class. Mandy who is the owner of the craft barn (well it's her business) had looked at your blog-finding the link via me. She wa in raptures about your house. I was also singing your praises and telling the ladies how talented you are. Take care.

Your story about the fire and the smoke...oh my...that brought back memories. When first married and in our first home, we had another couple over for a Thanksgiving feast. The fire was lit by the boys, the smoke started to fill the room (same reason that you noted) - and that black smoke stained all the walls, all the mantle decor, etc. Many things were ruined. This was This was topped only by the fact that as this was all occurring, I was pulling the turkey out of the oven and discovering after hours of cooking it was not cooked because the oven wasn't calibrated properly and the temperature wasn't as hot as what I'd set it for! I erupted in tears, very immaturely threw my friends out of the house because I was humiliated by all the failures...and had a major breakdown! The years have passed and those friends divorced, but the husband is still in touch with us - and he laughs regularly about that fateful night. I can now laugh also...but it took some time for me to get to that point! What a mass failure! LOL NOT one of my prouder moments. I am now OCD about checking for proper ventilation before lighting a fire! I have flashbacks!Petunia Pillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015563707243134765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865022255438031627.post-66779168673214422912011-12-11T05:24:48.042-08:002011-12-11T05:24:48.042-08:00It looks like you had a wonderful time with your f...It looks like you had a wonderful time with your family.

Onc...Well, wasn't this just the most fun post! Once again, I'm sitting here drooling over all the details in all of your photos! Your home is absolutely charming with all the lovely decor! I've been a bit of a humbug this year. The tree is up and my window lights are up, but I haven't decorated my mantle, nor have I brought out the multitudes of Rubbermaid buckets filled with the things that fill every available flat surface! Looking at your photos makes me rethink my decision to keep it simple this year. There's just something so warm and inviting about all those little things! And I loved seeing the vintage box of baubles. My Mom had a box just like that too...brings back memories! And your comments about family. Well, I was JUST talking about similar issues last night. I'm an only child and have always dreamed of siblings. But as life has gone on, I've observed those families I know that are broken apart as a result of parents passing on and estate settlement issues. Oh so ugly - and oh so hurtful. You are, indeed, so blessed to have an ongoing closeness. God bless you all for sharing your love with one another. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful post, Teresa!
