Pictures from a Day of Thanksgiving

I visited my mother for awhile this morning----watched the Macy's parade with her.  She was much more herself than yesterday.  I told her how thankful I was for her.  We missed her terribly by having my brother in law Dennis here made it a holiday and we had a really good time.....despite the fact that I ended up making no dessert (I know----the horror!) and one less vegetable than planned.....my turkey was pretty damn good if I do say so myself....and Ernie wanted to drink my gravy straight.....

Despite my intermittent complaints I am very thankful for what I have and for those I love.  And DAMN if I don't have two wonderful little guys.....  Happy Thanksgiving all!

Ernie's comment on this picture was to say that it was the late 50's model that had fins.  What kind of man looks a turkey and sees a vintage car?

My mother's Spode.  She had given it to Judi and now it is ours.

One of my very favorite flint 1850-60s goblets:  Bulls Eye with Fleur de Lys.  Gorgeous pattern.....
