Thanksgiving- Decorating and Food Preparations

Yesterday I was experimenting with my iPhone and accidentally sent photo’s to my blog post and they posted! I didn’t mean to post them. I’ve still got a lot to learn with on my iPhone! Sorry about that!

This weekend was busy cooking and decorating for Thanksgiving, visiting with family/ friends and doing farm work.

I gathered pine cones for decorating from our yard

 

Cones ready to string.

 

I tried stringing them together with sewing thread but it wasn’t working well so I used twine. Twine worked perfect.

My kitchen window decorated for Thanksgiving, cones strung!

I made homemade marshmallows for our traditional Thanksgiving salad.Yum! I’ll post the recipe this week.

I made the homemade cornbread fixings for the dressing. I fried onions, celery and apples, added chopped herbs and stored for Thursday AM. There’s a hint of bacon grease in there, it smelled good! I also made brine for the turkey. I’ll post the recipe for that tomorrow.

Jonathan planted seeds that like to be planted in the cold. They should be in bloom on the wedding month.

Dale mowed field, I mowed the yard.

Rachael working on homework for her last semester of college! We enjoyed German pot roast for dinner.

We brought Great Grandma Marilyn (Dale’s mom) and Bob to visit Heather and Jeffrey’s Church Sunday morning. Felicity is worshipping. She has ear plugs, the music is loud and exciting!

After lunch we went to an antique store. I got 5 handmade doilies for a dollar a piece! A 1930 cream and sugar set in perfect condition for four dollars!! It was fun!

On our way home we stopped to see cows enjoying their Sunday afternoon.
