Lovely table, Jill!
I’m reminded of my mother who would always take pleasure in having flowers and pretty tablecloths set with pretty dishes for our family
meals. She taught me to appreciate those extra ‘touches’ that made good food taste even better! God’s goodness and abundant blessings
can be seen with a thankful heart. May every day be a day of Thanksgiving for all of God’s children! Friends are one of His blessings to treasure.... and I count you as my friend!

*Oh, what happy memories!* Thank you! So sweet!
I also learned from my mother, my grandma, and my Beloved's sweet Aunt Helen.
Appreciate every day and every single person who visits your home.
