Waiting....and a small portion please! lol!!
trying to diet!

[yorkie]

Her ya go, Polly! A REAL lunch:

Chicken Croissant sandwich

A couple deviled eggs

Sweet potato fries

And, some cold, crisp vegetables

All the above should satisfy that tofu craving!

[pollywog]

Your absolutely marvelous yorkie!!Love the deviled eggs!
and that Croissant!!!!

I’ll do dishes! You go rest!

[yorkie]

Aw, shucks. It only took a few minutes to put it together! But, thank you! I LOVE having the dishes done for me. (Do you do ovens, too? Mine is so bad, I can only fit one muffin in it, now!)

[yorkie]

Oh, thank you Amy! Every day, you post the cutest yorkies - and now I am getting the ‘nesting urge’ - to get a puppy!

And, a happy Thursday to YOU, too!

[jaycee]

I think I will pass on the Tofu, thank you. But your presentation was very attractive to look at....but not to eat...LOL!

[yorkie]

Thank you Billie! I was surprised to find Lori’s frog in a ‘different’ pose! LOL!

[jaycee]

Now I could really indulge in the food you just showed! Especially the Chicken Croissant and deviled eggs! I have been on a deviled eggs kick recently!

At the moment, I have one of those little pizzas in the oven about ready and I am really hungry!

Drizzling rain outside and I can feel the temperature dropping!

JC, we sang that every Sunday in church before Thanksgiving, too! We also sang “We Gather Together, To Ask The Lord’s Blessing”:

JC, I make my deviled eggs with mayo, a little bit of yellow mustard, some sweet pickle relish, and dehydrated chopped onion. I usually put a black olive slice on each one (or green olive slice). How do you make yours?

[MEG33]

Thank you for the lovely opening, Lori and Amy

I'm Thankful For Fall And The Lord's Blessings

[MEG33]

Good News, Pippin! Prayers of healing for your mother.

yorkie: Polly - this is how long it has been since I went fishin'!
I think I still have the hat somehwere...
You think the fish will still bite on the same lures we used then?

Ah, what a cute hat, yorkie. :) You always were the stylish one - when we all went swimming, you were the first one brave enough to bare your midriff and wear a two-piece. :)

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Jaycee.
Thank you.

Between the computer and me, I running sloooow.

We are leaving Sunday for our annual 3 day vacation at the coast.
I'm trying to finish laundry in addition to cleaning house for Thanksgiving.
My brother (Marissa's grandpa) and Michael (Marissa's brother) will be here.
I will do my grocery shopping tomorrow.

Are you going to your Son's for Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving and Christmas are family times.
I miss the large family gatherings.

Have a Delightful Thursday.

[jaycee]

Excuse me, but I’ve never liked anything in them except mayonaise and mustard....I like the smooth deviled eggs but some of my friends make them with the pickle relish, etc. like your recipe. When I make egg salad now, I use sweet pickle cubes and celery, chopped real fine and mayonaise and just a touch of mustard.

[jaycee]

Oh my, how cute is that! Wow!

Love this picture!

I started reading "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan." I never realized Chinese footbinding was this horrible. I have so much work, have had it for a while, and haven't had time to post. I might have to postpone the book for later. I do enjoy dropping by this site. Refreshing.

[jaycee]

What an adorable graphic Amy! Thank you!

I hope you have an enjoyable 3 day trip and I’m sure you will!

This will be our Thanksgiving. My daughter in law’s sister has had it at her house for a couple of years now. The DIL has a lot of family and our family is very small. Her sister has a large house and large place to accomodate a lot of people....we all bring something, like a casserole or two or salad, dessert, etc.

I do miss doing my own Thanksgiving especially when my husband was here. Oh how he loved it when I was busy cooking Thanksgiving dinner. He also was a wonderful little helper to me. No one appreciated Thanksgiving more than he did. He was such a pleasure to cook for, whether it was a big meal or just a sandwich...he liked everything.

Sentimentality sneaks in to me during the holidays. I think we all would like to go back in time a little. We miss loved ones, even parents, at these holiday times but its wonderful having the sweet memories, isn’t it?

Happy Thanksgiving!

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jane Austen.
Billie created that sweet picture.
She and MamaBear make all of our Opening Graphics except for Sundays.
Meg33 posts and hostesses the Sunday threads.

Please stop by and comment more often;
we try to keep this site family friendly and appreciate that others enjoy it.
We do get political once in awhile, but
with what is happening to our country, who can blame us? :^)

I don't remember the title of the book,
but I read a little about footbinding many years ago.
Why would anyone do such a horrible thing?

Wishing you a Terrific Thursday.

Do I “ do” ovens? LOLOLOL...
I finally cleaned the glass “ lookie through” the other day so I could at least see if something was burning...otherwise, my theory is it is better to let the crusty grease stay! gives it a “ seasoned” affect!
