Giving Thanks

Even though there was driving rain and wind gusts up to 70 mph. we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family up in our “shell”  It was cozy with the wood stove burning and over 20 people with an amazing array of delicious food.  Our house may not be finished but it is already proving to be to be the perfect party house.  Jeff and I so look forward to when we can properly entertain.

It was so moist and delicious. There wasn’t much left at the end of the day.

We hung an oil lantern in the window next to the door which added to the festive nature of the day.

 

We Have So Much To Give Thanks For!          Blessings To Everyone.
