Song - Thanksgiving Song by Adam Sandler
Most of these last few weeks were spent on Thanksgiving preparation. I bought all of the non-perishables last week and polished the silver. Mr. B went shopping Tuesday for perishables while I cleaned house and began setting the table.
The silverware still needs to be added as well as a few loose ends - salt & pepper & butter!
The only thing not cooperating is our tree....
Our October Glory was amazing about a week ago when this photo was taken but unfortunately all the leaves will be gone by Turkey Day. Our family and friends like to pose every year in front of this tree for photos.

Notice that there were very few leaves on the tree here

I did gather some leaves from several of our trees and ironed them with wax paper to preserve them. I then placed them inside our glass candle holders with flame-less candles. You can see them in the second photo from the top. They look beautiful as the light shines through them.

this is a marvelous blog. That tree means so much to me, having seen it last year in all its glory while swimming in your pool. I even brought Dean out to see it and we photographed it at about this time when it was in its prime. I guess it faded earlier this year. I didn't know of your family tradition of photographing family members in front of it. Happy thanksgiving, T&D
