But that's ok. I am not up to driving for 5 hours this time even though I miss the "little rascals". It will be a quiet long weekend.

I know that it will seem strange and lonely without your mother and I think your determination to make the best of it with your precious family is wonderful. Thursday, Veteran's Day, was the 4 year anniversary of my own mom's passing. Time does help but for some reason, this year I have been a bit emotional and the grief somehow feels fresh and raw. I find that letting it have its way with me for a few days is okay but after than I have to rein it in and get on with life...because life goes on and my mom would not want me sad.<br />I love your little candle/nativity thing and that sounds like a great price for one. We used to have one years ago and I don't know what happened to it. I also love the wall art above the bookcase and all of your vintage and antique plates on the wall! I love antiques! I too love thrift shops. <br />Love, VickiVickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908246018959064657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-78096868600572793022010-11-13T20:51:43.113-06:002010-11-13T20:51:43.113-06:00I love those thingy-dingies!!

Great buy for $5.00. I also shop at Thrift Shops and can find really good clothing for next to nothing. It might not be the fancy Brand Names, but I don't mind. <br /><br />I had an interesting day, if you visit the blog you will read all about the visit to see the Dump with the Pink Bathtub, Yellow Sink and White Stained Water Closet.

I'm sure you'll have a good day. <br /><br />I will begin thinking about thanksgiving meal after our vacation is officially over (we came home a couple of days early to ease back into "normal" life).<br /><br />So far I know of 16 who will be our guests that day.

The color is very pretty and I like the way the lace curtains look, very warm, very 'homey', and it gives me a wonderful feeling of nostalgia.<br />Great job, Di!<br /><br />Nice you got all the fixin's for Thanksgiving already! I love that preparation! We're going to Ray's sister this year and everyone will be coming to us for Christmas. But I usually do an 'after-Thanksgiving Dinner' the weekend after Thanksgiving for Ray & kids anyway. We put the tree up the day after Thanksgiving, and then usually on Saturday or Sunday we have the kids over for turkey dinner.<br /><br />So glad you were able to get some enjoyment out of your Friday! And I'm so glad you have lots of joy to look forward to! I love hearing about your girls!<br /><br />Take care.<br />Love to you,EEileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-1013823243669741142010-11-13T06:49:09.963-06:002010-11-13T06:49:09.963-06:00Good morning Di...your Funky Friday post gave me a...Good morning Di...your Funky Friday post gave me a Sentimental Saturday!
