I don't have enough space to store plates for special times of year, so just to be contrary, I rather like the idea of doing that! <br /><br />I chose to stay away from politics too in my latest post - just like you. I know that when people are really upset they can't focus on much else except what is bothering them - but on the other hand, there's a snowballing effect, when the more you read about it the more wound up you get. It is a little easier for me to step back because it is not my country's election (although goodness knows, we will be enormously affected) but also because I used up some of those kind of feelings over our Brexit vote, which was definitely the most profound political shock of my life. <br /><br />We must all look ahead and hope and remember when the doom sayers get too loud that nobody can actually foretell the future!

I always say, it does no good to have beautiful things if we are afraid to use them. For the first time in almost 30 years we will not host Thanksgiving, we have the privilege of driving with our youngest daughter and her husband to spend the holiday with our oldest daughter and her husband. I am so excited! Things change when our kids grow up, but what matters is spending the day with the people we love so much.Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-84820139248386097842016-11-09T16:16:56.181-05:002016-11-09T16:16:56.181-05:00Hello dearest Jeanie!

I've had the good fortune of experiencing California style Thanksgiving dinners, New England style (Indian pudding) and then our modified version here in the midwest where we usually eat alone. But either way, there is SO much to be thankful for.

To have and enjoy special things is such pleasure. I think sometimes the spur of the moment plans are the best, no fuss or stress making the perfect meal or table and just enjoying the company of family and friends. I love how those are traveling dishes, making even more memories. Our family will all be spending time with other family so under no pressure to make any plans here.

I love that Rick's accident gave you a gift of new perspective about how to use your treasured family heirlooms. <br /><br />I don't have any hand-me-downs from my parents, but I imagine I will some day because my siblings all registered for china, I think, and that's something I can't see us registering for. I know my mom has her mom's china so I would like those dishes, too, if they aren't spoken for when the time comes for her to part with them (which is not something I look forward to happening because I want my mom alive and using them for as long as possible). <br /><br />This year we are celebrating Thanksgiving with Phil's mom. It's a bit of an adjustment to not celebrate holidays with my family as the foods and traditions are so different. But I know how much she treasures having us there with her, so I'm focusing on that instead of thinking about the fact that I won't have homemade GF stuffing to enjoy (my mom always makes me my own stuffing). <br /><br />And thanks for sharing that sweet potato dish - that's right up my alley! I need to bookmark it and make it for a holiday gathering in the future!Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.com
