T Stands For Thanksgiving

 

I want to begin by thanking all of you who left kind words about my recent mishap.  You have NO idea how your words have cheered me, even though I can only sit at my computer for about 10 minutes before my lower back screams at  me and I must lie on my back until the pain eases.  Trust me, though.  I feel SO much better today than when it happened last Thursday evening. 

Over the four days of Thanksgiving holiday, I ate my heart out.  I attended three dinners and prepared one of my own.  I had intended to share the meal I prepared, but something was wrong with the settings on the new to me camera, and I accidentally created a videotape instead of still photos.  No way to recreate the meal, either.  

BTW, for those of you who are curious, my wonderful camera which isn't working properly at the moment, is a Nikon Cool Pix 820 and the one Scott gave me is a Nikon Cool Pix 840.  Marginally better with a greater zoom and more options.  

One place I DID get great shots was when I visited a friend and her husband who invited me for a Thanksgiving celebration on Friday.

I was so impressed by this wall quilt my host created,

 

I couldn't stop taking photos of it.  Doesn't this look like autumn to you?

 

But I was quickly distracted when my host showed me this beauty and where she spends most of her time.

After I talked to her, she even came out to join us, something my host said was quite rare for her.

Before we sat to eat, I had to admire this incredible quilt my host had made.  This was larger and not a wall quilt.  She had others, too, but it was time to make our way to the table.

There was all kinds of food, including duck, which I wouldn't eat if my life depended on it.

There was also ham, but there were enough veggies, salads, and dessert that I certainly didn't go hungry.  And you can see there was water for everyone, too.

Now I've shared my drink of the week, please share your favorite drink and we'll be by to visit.  Remember the rules are simple.  A drink, any drink can be represented by art (digital, hybrid, or traditional), a cup, mug, teapot, etc.  Maybe you'll share a scrapbook page, or a favorite movie or book that focuses on a drink.  And drinks don't have to be water, coffee, or tea.  You can always go off the grid and drink something we may not have heard of.  All you have to do is link below (direct links only, please), so we can visit you, too.  And Bleubeard wants to remind you that your photos or scans can be taken at any time, not just on Tuesday or not even this year.
