How did you get to work yesterday?

I took this...

These seats are way better than First Class...

Or you could stretch out...

Bellevue!

I may never fly commercial again.

Thankful

I have A LOT to be thankful for this year.

I'm home!!

And, even though the thrift stores in Iowa aren't quite as nice as New York City (no Prada), I still manage to find a few things I "need".

Now, I'm not a religious person (AT ALL!), but I've always liked these...

And when I saw it at the Goodwill in Davenport, it looked like this!

It's brand new and that price tag says $3.95.

The original price tag on the box says $40, and on Amazon right now, the Wilton Armetale Give Us This Day Bread Serving Tray, Rectangular, 9-1/4-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch by 1-Inch, is over $32.

So, not a bad deal!

But now that I have somewhere to go for Thanksgiving, I can't just show up empty handed, so I went to the expert...

I think this was about $1

In the chapter "Our Farmhouse Thanksgiving for Eight" I found this recipe...

I don't know who Laura is, and I don't live in a farmhouse, but it sounds delicious!  (We'll see!)

And finally, our local radio station plays this song every night as it goes off the air (at 10pm!  So cute!)...


I read that Perry Como performed this on his Thanksgiving special, so it's only appropriate to listen to it today.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Don't forget to check out Lemons & Chambray!  I know Winavie has a lot to be thankful for too!

Next month - Happy Holidays!!!

A Walk in the Park

I do miss Ft. Tryon Park, in my old neighborhood in New York City, but luckily Bellevue State Park lies just along the southern edge of the town I live in now.

After a particularly hot and dry summer, nobody knew what to expect this fall.

But, it was beautiful!

And, on one recent sunny day I took a walk along the Meadow and Quarry trails, just beyond the Butterfly Garden.

Quarry Trail

An unexpected pop of red

Pretty

Some people hike this park every morning.  I'm not one of them (uh, no), but I do plan to get back up there often!
