Last Sunday Before Thanksgiving

 

Here we are on the last Sunday before Thanksgiving Day.

Probably our lists are made of what needs to be done and purchased in preparation for the big feast.

I always try to get to the supermarket before Wednesday to avoid long lines and a frenzied atmosphere.

Also, unlike many very traditional people, who wait until after Thanksgiving to start, Christmas decorating has already begun  in earnest in this small apartment.

As I pull out old decorations, it sparks memories of the past.

The hand-knitted green lap blanket, shown behind the pillow in this post, is very old. I fell in love with it while we were living in Arizona and it has been with me ever since. 

So many decorations have already been given away to friends, family, or charity shops but way too many still remain.

Some, I will never give up as they have become part of me. 

The poinsettia cross stitch pillow, shown in this post, is a fave but probably not a "forever" pillow.

In any event, on this day, I wish each of you deep peace and calm, happiness and fulfillment.
