Christmas we spend with the family, although in recent years, we find ourselves spending that with friends, too!<br /><br />We were supposed to be in NC for Thanksgiving with a group of friends, but we can't make the trip because Mr. Magpie is recovering from the flu. He's better, just weak. SO, we are going to take ourselves on a "date" to the fanciest restaurant in St. Augustine. It should be fun!<br /><br />Sending you much love and all good wishes, Leigh, for a wonderful Thanksgiving! Have loved getting to know you this year...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-64249760864707911922009-11-25T13:07:30.451-06:002009-11-25T13:07:30.451-06:00Sweet Leigh~I'm strolling in to catch up and e...Sweet Leigh~I'm strolling in to catch up and especially to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving!<br />It's such a wonderful time to stop and reflect on all those we cherish and are truly grateful for.<br />Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to visit and leave feeling inspired!<br /><br />Even though our Thanksgiving is very small in number, with hubby and son (we don't count the cat cause she doesn't like turkey). We don't scrimp on the menu...from appetizers to desserts with several carb loaded dishes in between! We will be enjoying tryptophan playoffs too!<br /><br />Sweet Holiday wishes,<br />SaraSara's Sweet Surprisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684005124533629561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-85242688737813152782009-11-25T08:08:07.981-06:002009-11-25T08:08:07.981-06:00Hi Leigh,

I'm almost afraid to ask but what is Dirty Santa?<br /><br />One of the fun things we like to do is take all the kids over to the local school for a big game of dodgeball on Thanksgiving. You never realized how much exercise dodgeball is till you play it as an adult!<br /><br />I have a little award for you if you'd like to stop by and pick it up. <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving,<br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658368332496429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-88889535668593449132008-11-21T08:54:00.001-06:002008-11-21T08:54:00.001-06:00Oh, J_ True about my mom!

I thought you woulda caught onto to this one by now. Go, get a frozen bird. And laugh!<BR/><BR/>Catinaapron- OMGosh! I lived in Portland for a year and I know exactly where you speak of. Beautiful views. I recall going into the giftshop and buying polished rocks. I still have them. That was 32 years ago. Wow! Thats sounds lovely, especially the no dishes!<BR/><BR/>Troll- I moved the music up just for you and anyone else- so it is easy to turn off. My keyboard also has a mute button. Easy there too. Sorry Troll, but I like it. Hey Troll, enjoy your repus bowl! I hope you make all the TD's and eat lotsa goodies. Happy days!<BR/><BR/>Sandy Toes, invest in a turkey to throw!<BR/><BR/>Thanks mom!

Hood for Thanksgiving the last few years! We go out to breakfast and our favorite local place which is usually empty except for us, then drive to the mountain and play in the snow. Then we feast on our Thanksgiving dinners of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, meatloaf sandwiches, and hot chocolate! the best part? NO DISHES!!<BR/><BR/>I hope our future holds huge family gatherings like you have!catinanapronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014161789756372325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375221373059262847.post-86145964212505948592008-11-20T07:19:00.000-06:002008-11-20T07:19:00.000-06:00OH MY GOSH...Your Thanksgiving sounds like soooooo...OH MY GOSH...<BR/>Your Thanksgiving sounds like sooooooooooooooooo much fun!!!!
