Happy Thanksgiving

 

Our Thanksgiving celebration was also a birthday party, acknowledging the numerous milestones reached in November.  Brother-in-law, Marty celebrated 80 years . . . 

Niece Wendy reached her 50th milestone, and great niece Chiann celebrated her 30th.  

Finally, a turkey with a party hat for my Irish twin.  It my not be a milestone for Rita this year, but she is the one family member with a birthday that was actually on Thanksgiving Day!

 

 

 

Marty's A Survivor

 

The invitation said, "Marty's Survived a lot. . ." and that's an understatement!  As the saying goes on the TV show, "fire is life," so I hope he embraces each and every candle because he's earned them.

                      Cheers to 80 years for my brother-in-law! 

 

Fall Bake Sale

 

 

November brings the annual bake sale and I am always happy to contribute, but I do get bored decorating the same cookie designs year after year.  So although this Sweet Sugarbelle Scarecrow has always been one of my favorites, I gave him a vacation this year. . .

and added  two new scarecrows to my collection.

Whether it's a cutter  originally designed to be a hamburger, an ice cream cone, a manger, a snowman or an actual scarecrow, these guys have made me smile through the years.
