Though we knew it might be coming, the death of my beloved's father knocks the air out of us. We stare at each other in shock, then move closer to hold.
Immediately, my mind starts working... When should we go? How will Gideon handle the travels? Should I start packing now? Could we wait until Monday?... Kevin begins making phone calls, and I walk downstairs to inform
This is definitely worth some thought and attention:
Wish I’d seen this before Thanksgiving. A great video from CT on Thanksgiving
This is a 30 minute video, but I wanted to at least post it. It’s a TPT (Twin Cities Public Television) documentary on homeless youth. For anyone in the twin cities area, I’d recommend taking some time to watch it.
Thanksgivings abroad have always been a bit tricky. Just ask Tim over at the China Rises blog who has been celebrating his Thanksgiving abroad since before I knew what a computer was. According to him, however, his most recent celebrations in China have been "super easy". Guess it must be nice to live in Beijing, Tim.
As always, it's a bit harder out here in Xinjiang, so I'm very prou
This picture was taken of “yours truly” at Ka’anapali Beach with a Sanyo Xacti VPC camera. This is the camera I use for almost all of my pictures in this blog. It is water proof and shoots video too. Great camera!

These are a tradition in our home and my three teens all say they fully intend on carrying on the tradition to their own families as they grow up and get married.

Our Thanksgiving was rather uneventful. Michael's parents came over along with his Aunt and Uncle. It was my first Thanksgiving as hostess, so I was initially very stressed. But as the day neared and I had my many lists I felt much more organized. I also made sure to go shopping early so I wasn't fighting the last minute crowds or running into the possibility that something was out of stock.I didn
Camilla Trinchieri at an Italian market buying fresh vegetables. Below, preparing a turkey for Thanksgiving! Camilla is an expert cook and used to add recipes to her The Trouble With... mystery series!
From Camilla about Thanksgiving in Italy:"My Italian thanksgiving is included. Yummy! Italian turkeys are tastier. I brought the cranberry sauce from the States and the corn bread stuffing. We had a great time and I got a round of applause for the cooking. Erika made a great apple cakeand has promised to give me the recipe."

Hit Fish Gallery and TnT Fish and Reptile. Also hit "The Cutting Edge". They're going out of business :(. we also
The pre-Thanksgiving lunchWell, another holiday has passed us by. I hope everyone had a lovely time with friends, family, and the Big Bird. But I have to admit something: I hate turkey. I really do. Luckily, since I am the one who cooks on Thanksgiving, I get to choose what we're eating. One year it was leg of lamb, but the family complained that it wasn't "Thanksgiving-y" enough, whatever th
It was a busy weekend for fishing here in Pinellas County. I closed shop early on Wednesday, picked up 10 dozen fiddler crabs in anticipation of a sheepshead extravaganza, and headed to the Merry Pier. I did manage a couple small sheepshead in an hour or so. I returned Thanksgiving morning, started scraping barnacles off [...]

For almost 20 years on Thanksgiving Day I would head up 95 to dinner at my mother-in-laws with my spouse, and in later years, with my kids. Times have changed and this year I needed something new to do for Thanksgiving.
The week before Thanksgiving I was scrambling trying to come up with something that would be a good use of my time and tried to find something that would keep me out of trouble

In my last post, I mentioned that we would be spending Thanksgiving day at my in-laws little ranchette in East Texas. We call the place "the farm," but the only farm animals you will find are cows and a few unwelcome hogs. "The farm" began as a parcel of land purchased by Keith's grandparents, so needless to say, it is the backdrop of many family memories made over the years. When his grandparents

This year my husband and I slow roasted a 27 pound turkey for 18 hours (take that government regulations for food safety!) and then served it up to 25 of our wonderful friends amid a spread of other succulent food choices. Which all means that the aftermath of this great feast left tons of leftovers in our fridge. While we enjoy a reheated Thanksgiving meal as much as the next guy, it doesn't

In spite of my sentimental ruminations of yesterday, Thanksgiving is more to me than a time for melancholy reflection. It’s also a holiday that holds an important place in my heart for bringing together friends or family to share in the pleasures of good wine, good food and good company. This year’s feast was shared with dear friends and paired with delicious food and a little more than our

In the meantime, I’ll give you a random [...]
We celebrated Thanksgiving the Wednesday before Thanksgiving because it was the only day all the girls were available. It wouldn't have been the same without them. This was the first time Hellena and Jennifer had ever had turkey and I was excited to see if they would like it.We bought the turkey at Costco several week prior and had a hard time getting it to fit into our freezer and our refrigerato
Holidays are the hardest time of year. I’ve said this in the past and I’ve heard so many people with depression, anxiety etcetera say the same thing. It’s a uniquely painful time I think for agoraphobics.It’s as if the spirit of the holidays has fled me. Perhaps I left it behind somewhere. There was a time when I could grab a hold of it, even if just for a short time, eventually I got

My family don't have the chance to go to Castaway Bay last November 29 and today since at that time it was so cold here in Michigan. So I bet at Sandusky, Ohio is going to be more colder. I don't feel like driving all the way there so we have decided to go by summer next year, hopefully. Since I don't have classes and I have decided not to take summer classes. Anyway, last Thursday, we went to
November has been a quieter than normal month here at MFWT. Even if Black Friday is essentially a non-event in small, independent wine shop circles, the cold weather and holiday inspired shopping season has kicked things into a higher gear at work. Combine that with the social demands of the season and I’ve had a hard time of late squeezing the time for blogging into my day-to-day routine.It
Even after creating a Thanksgiving template earlier this week, I got caught up in the festivities and neglected to take many photos. I decided to back up and use it to scrap photos from last year instead: Supplies: Butternut Corn and Grape Jelly papers from the Plumberry Harvest paper pack at Peppermint Creative; my Thanksgiving 8.5x11 template; Jenkins v2.0 and Teen fonts.

We’ve all seen them; those Better Homes and Gardens style Thanksgiving photos, where the table is all decked out in beautiful matching china (bought just for the occasion of course), crystal goblets, taffeta tablecloths, aromatic candles, real silverware, decorative serving platters, and fancy, custom-designed place settings.
Well, snap out of dreamland, because this is what a [...]
The night before the Thanksgiving, we were supposed to go out and have fun but unfortunately as the Bana don’t have enough money to spend and we were not in good terms we both decided to stay home.

Besides, I am not into drinking anymore and I want to make su
Ok, so I'm sure that most of you sports fans like me love to watch NFL football on Thanksgiving. This is not a far fetched assumption by any means because the Thanksgiving Noon game is the 2nd most watched game of the year (second only to the SuperBowl!). So assuming you all watched like I did I'm sure you were also disgusted by how unentertaining the games really were.It is truly a tragedy to hav
