| My Thanksgiving Wreath |
Happy Thanksgiving!
I redid and hung up my Thanksgiving wreath on Wednesday afternoon.
I can't remember exactly when I made this wreath. But it has been at least 15 years! I hot-glued the cornucopia to the wreath, but when I attached the flowers, it became a bit too heavy and the cornucopia came loose until I tied it on with some wire. I have to remove the longer floral picks and cattails in order to store the wreath in the storage box, so, every year, I have to redo the floral arrangement in the cornucopia.
Daughter and I have been invited to Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house and a cousin's house! Last year, and the year before, too, we went to our friend's house first (an earlier dinner) and then, to my cousin's house (a later dinner). I am not sure if I will be able to go to both places, this year. We shall see.
This year, I am thankful for so many things! For the fact that the diagnosis was what it was and not worse, for being alive to celebrate this Thanksgiving with my daughter and family and friends, for the support I've received from everyone, and for all the caring friends I've made in blogland. Thank you for reading and commenting, for the advice and the encouragement, for being there on my journey. My life has been enriched by each and every one of you.
Wish you all a lovely day spent in the company of family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving Bless. Hope it was wonderful.

ReplyDeleteI have a small Christmassy grape vine wreath that a friend made for me several years ago and when the greenery was done, I augmented it with a fresh spray of greenery each year and glued back the small cones. It has 3 golden bells hanging from it and I love it.

Bushlady, your wreath sounds lovely!
DeleteYes, I had a good Thanksgiving at my friend's house. It was just my friend's family and daughter and I. Very relaxed. I didn't go to my cousin's house because I felt it would have been too hectic to try to make it to both places.
