This week is about preparing for Thanksgiving Day. I'm reflecting a little bit on past dining tables and feeling grateful for the times shared with loved ones.
This year is going to be a bittersweet Thanksgiving. My brother in-law Jim is gravely ill from Liver Cancer and my sister Sherry and he will not be with us.
Normally we would be at their home for Thanksgiving Dinner and this is why I am co-hosting dinner at my Mother's. This collage includes some quick pictures I took at a previous Thanksgiving at their home.
These are previous tablescapes with a link to the original post.

For this year I didn't set up the table except for this daily display.

Most years we head down to be with family but this particular year we stayed home.

I am so very grateful for all the Thanksgivings I've had in my life and for the loved ones that I've enjoyed them with.
Wishing you all blessings and a great Thanksgiving Day!
