I love the faux flame that we can have on even when we're not using the heat settings.

I miss them so much!  

****************************************************

Kari & the grandkids came over to spend the day with me yesterday.

We had 'pigs in the blanket' for lunch & pot roast, carrots & potatoes for dinner.

Kari & I tried a new recipe for dessert, Pumpkin Poppers.

Yep, you guessed it, I found the recipe on Pinterest.

Here's the recipe.

Instead of making mini muffins we decided to make regular size muffins, I guess this recipe should be called Pumpkin Muffins for us.  Next time I will make the mini version.  

They are delicious.  When Ethan saw them cooling on the cake stand.he grabbed one when we weren't looking & started munching.  So funny!

Happy Friday to you all!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Thanksgiving Banners

Day 8 of Thanksgiving . . .

I'm thankful for "freedom from want".

source

This painting is entitled "Freedom From Want." March 6,1943.

I love this iconic image of Thanksgiving Day, by Norman Rockwell. It was actually one of four prints in his "Four Freedoms" series, which was inspired by President Franklin Roosevelt's 1942 "Four Freedoms" speech.  

*********************************************

I got crafty yesterday making 2 banners for Thanksgiving.

I found the free printable letters on Pinterest.

source

Here's the "thankful" banner I made for the mantel.

I also made a "gather" banner for the dining room.

The letters were aged by rubbing on brown shoe polish with a paper towel.

After seeing how great the shoe polish worked I think I'm going to do the same on the "thankful" banner.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is 2 weeks from today?

Some friends I have never meet in person.  I have met these friends through blogging & Facebook.

You know who you are.  

Thank you all for being my friend!
