My family is small and rather disfunctional - for lack of a better word. I have found more joy in friendships. And I also enjoy reading other people's blogs because in some ways these people no longer seem like strangers, but friends I have never met, but may some day. I hope that despite the family difficulties, you have a nice Thanksgiving celebration. Loved seeing all your finds - especially the Evelyn & Crabtree, my favorite!Beatrice P.

Not every holiday can be that perfect Norman Rockwell painting, although it's what we all hope for isn't it? I'm sure if it comes down to it you can put your foot down and they will get those bridges mended! We are all spread apart this year too. My sister's baby is late and they plan on inducing her on Thanksgiving if she hasn't arrived by then. Mom and Dad are going down to be with her and the rest of us are on our own. We'll survive though, I'm a terrible cook but I have my secret way of getting through the holiday meals...shh..Raleys! With my crew convience is the name of the game! LOL!<br />So just "SMILE" and enjoy the day. At least I know you'll have homemade food!<br />Happy Thanksgiving!<br />Hugs and love,<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658368332496429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-87983140963278033362010-11-22T07:26:06.732-08:002010-11-22T07:26:06.732-08:00I'm sending you lots of love and hugs and pray...I'm sending you lots of love and hugs and prayers that the clouds will disappear soon!<br /><br />Lots of love,<br />Susan and Bentley<br />xxooSusan Freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323206599839838089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-34580965942303457992010-11-22T06:16:48.619-08:002010-11-22T06:16:48.619-08:00Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you are havin' so...Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you are havin' some bad vibes 'round your table.

We just have to learn to not interfere and give advice when asked.It's so hard sometimes.We can look from a distance and see the answer, but we have to let them do it themselves. That's how they learn.Things usually have a way of working out.It can be especially hard at holiday time. We all have this Norman Rockwell vision in our heads.We just have to "let go and let God."<br />BalishaBalishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-33423451429836865662010-11-21T05:58:14.407-08:002010-11-21T05:58:14.407-08:00Mona, so sorry you are sad today.
