Like your experience, no one really seemed put off, everyone adapted and it turned our to be a lovely day. Glad you were able to celebrate with your family! And thank you for the lovely comment on my site about my curtains. Comments always make me smile.

Wishing you a belated Happy Thanksgivi...Hi Lorrie,<br /><br />Wishing you a belated Happy Thanksgiving! Yours sounds very nice and certainly preferable to not gathering with family at all. Little Iris is just darling, and I think I've shared with you before that I love that name for girls! I feel like it's an old-fashioned name that's making a return. Your outdoor photos are very pretty and evocative. I agree that it's wonderful to relax on Sunday evening after a nice celebration, knowing that you don't have to go to work the next day. :)<br /><br />I like the poem/prayer that you shared -- very appropriate for Thanksgiving. I hope you have a good week, Lorrie!<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttps://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2020/10/watching-dunkirk-reading-ken-follett.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-72271767014663608782020-10-13T11:43:01.576-07:002020-10-13T11:43:01.576-07:00Oh that poem was lovely!!

Your menu sounded delicious; especially the roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts, and the spinach salad. I know I would really enjoy those. We had to postpone our dinner but we all enjoyed the pie and coffee. We hope to get together next Sunday for our meal. Strange times sometimes interfere with our plans. Our little ones truly make the holiday extra special. I'm so happy that your family was able to join you for the holiday! Next on our agenda is Christmas and we all deserve a very merry one this year, don't we?

Little Iris is certainly very adorable.<br /><br />I am not sure what my family will do for our Thanksgiving in November. I contemplated having it outside but we may have snow by that time of the year. A friend suggested we all take the "rapid" test to make sure we were all healthy so we could gather indoors, but that might be hard to coordinate. I guess I'll make the decision as time gets closer.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-3493915402056929662020-10-12T16:57:32.419-07:002020-10-12T16:57:32.419-07:00What a wonderful prayer of Thanksgiving.

I'm glad you were able to adapt to the pandemic restrictions and still celebrate with your family, it's certainly a Thanksgiving you will all remember. I think we are all finding ways to be creative at the moment. Well done - and I think it's a brilliant idea to celebrate on a Sunday so that you can get over it on Monday!
