Thank you Beverly for making the holiday season fun. Visit Beverly for 'We Gather Together' this Pink Saturday
*******************************************
My great room game table. My father made this for my mother and it ended up with my sister. Now she is letting me use it for awhile. I arranged this Welcome for fall and I am sharing it for today's theme. Beverly has this very same vase. She bought one for herself and could only buy 'two.' When we visited Beverly in September she asked me if I wanted the second vase. I loved it, so now it is mine for a very good price. See How pretty it is Beverly?
WE GATHER TOGETHER
We will share Thanksgiving with our son and his family. They live in Tennessee about 2.5 hours from here. We will leave early in the morning and drive back home the same day for a very special gathering that will be held in our home on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
A CELEBRATION OF MARRIAGE
Yes, that's right, my sister's son just married the most wonderful woman second time around and we are gathering our family together to celebrate their special union. You could say this is a second Thanksgiving because our family is so happy to come together for this special occasion.
I am sharing a few photos of the day they were married.
Congratulations Yael and Bill
Their happiness is so obvious when you see their smiles.
Yael and Bill with his daughter Josy and his son Eric.
It is easy to see that gathering together for this beautiful and happy couple will be a gathering to remember.
We love you all so much.

My PINK TO SHARE
My sister Jane Anne broke her ankle and had to have surgery. Wishing you well sister dear.
Love her choice of cast color.

More PINK
I was a lucky winner of a beautiful giveaway that means so much to me. It is all abour the month of October celebrating breast cancer awareness.
This is what I won...
This original handmade Journal features Posey Hope. It is so pretty and so meaningful. I am thrilled to have it as a reminder that my sister and her daughter are breast cancer survivors.
The pages are all so charming.
This is an idea how lovely each page is created and was handmaade with love.
My special thanks goes to Terri at Morning Dewdrops. Please visit Terri and say hello. She gave several giveaway gifts to Bloggers to honor breast cancer awareness.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and a happy Pink Saturday
Blessings and love,
JEANNE

HPS!!! Your Thanksgiving holiday sounds packed with wonderful family celebrations! I know your time with your son and family in TN will be terrific. . .and I can't imagine making the trip, back and forth, on the same day. . .especially after eating TGiving Dinner!! :) Of course, you are highly motivated to get back home and get ready for the wedding celebration! So much to be thankful for. The newlyweds and children do look very happy!!
How wonderful that you won that journal. . .you've had a year's worth of journal experience now, jeanne, so I'm certain you truly treasure this prize!! You know how hard it is to create!!
Have a great weekend. . . Love, Dana

AW, Jeanne, what a wonderful post... so glad I got to see your family!!!!! It w as wonderful also to see that you had visited with me and I appreciate so much your kind sentiments on my blog. My life is crazy now with both parents in separate nursing homes and I don't get around as much as I used too. maybe once we get their home on the market next month things will settle down a bit. I hope so.... God bless and have a marvelous Thanksgiving!

Happy, Happy Pink Saturday, my dear friend. You have showered us this Pink Saturday by sharing your blessings.
You're right, the vase looks just perfect. I chose well if I do say so myself. Now, one of these days I need to get around to sharing mine. And, I love that you have this special table. Your parents adored each other, and I like that your dashing father made this for his beautiful Mae.
I know you are going to love being with your family both Thanksgiving Day and Friday for the wedding celebration. Your house will be overflowing with love.
Congratulations on your win. It just so happens that I adore Terri. She is a very special lady.

Congrats on your win too! So much fun to win things. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family up on your beautiful mountain.
I know, Ceekay is certainly in my prayers.
