Thanksgiving Eve


I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my children, their families and dogs(there will be 3!). The house is decorated, beds are made and I am busy preparing some of my family's favorite dishes. However, my thoughts turn to how blessed we have been and how good God has been to us this year. I am thankful all year for these blessings but am especially mindful of them today. The blessings that I am so thankful for include: good health for all my family, safety and protection, a wonderful loving family, friends that are abundantly good to me, a job I love and a faithful God. Wherever you may spend your Thanksgiving, I wish for you and your family a wonderful day of togetherness and thanksgiving.

Bed and Breakfast



We celebrated the beginning of my Thanksgiving break by going to a B&B in Shreveport. It is a quaint B&B in a beautiful old area. It was decorated for the Christmas holidays and music was playing when we arrived. I have passed it many times when I would travel to Shreveport never thinking I would ever stay there. Breakfast was delicious....fresh fruit cup, crustless quiche, sweetened bacon strips and a banana nut crumble muffin. Our cozy room was at the top of the stairs. When we came in last night people were sitting on the balcony visiting and enjoying the cool night. I want to return in the spring!
