I learned a very important Thanksgiving lesson this year. A wonderful meal and a memorable day have absolutely nothing to do with table decorations or a fully equipped kitchen. It's not as much about total organization as it is about total devotion. I had the rare opportunity to watch a perfect meal unfold in a setting that would have sent a seasoned, more mature couple into therapy. A perfectly choreographed dance couldn't have been more beautiful to watch. A meal to remember. An unforgettable day. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Davis for inviting us to share in your first Thanksgiving dinner in your first home. Love you both!

So true and I am so Happy that you were able to share it with the Davis' in their new Home!!
I read an article..probably on someone's blog about the memories you take away are not about the house, decor or a well trimmed lawn but the friendship, love and time together!!
Love and miss you!!
We have so much to be Thankful for!!!
muah!

Oh, I'd love to hear more! We didn't have the most gorgeously tablescaped table decor but we were happy to be together! And as I buzzed around the house for a couple of days before fussing and primping and cleaning I was aware that no one was coming to see how clean or lovely my home would be - they were all coming to be together! Thanks for sharing your heart with us. ~Adrienne~

Happy Thanksgiving! It makes you wonder... when did it all become about the decor and the food?

How I miss your pictures and your posts. You were one of my first blogging friends when I started. I forget to come here but when I do, and when my son pulls out all his legos, I think of you!

Merry Christmas at the creek.
