Getting ready.
Grandma's finery; Bavarian china. silver, and carving set. I'm so thankful to have these treasured things and -- after many years in storage -- be washing them to use, for the first time since she had them on her own table. There's service for six; just right for our small gang together this year.
While the family plays outside on this sunny, warm afternoon, I'm pouring over recipes and will soon head out armed with my list. I'm sure the stores are crazy, but that's okay. Not much can get in the way of this good spirit today.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, near and far.
