I made this layout for a challenge at Designer Digitals to scrap a food you like. While we were visiting friends last month, we were served this beautiful assortment of fruit. The photo really makes me think of summer. I quoted Mark Twain who said, "When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat."
What a fun night...all the boys were in attendance as we went out to dinner to celebrate my husband's birthday. He chose the Iguana Grill. It is a wonderful spot with the best ambience. I just had to try a few shots with my iPhone.
Yummy. Healthy. Low in calories. What more could you ask for?
It's Thanksgiving Eve and I am really enjoying getting the festivities started. Today after a short day at work, I went to the grocery store to pick up my last-minute items. I was extremely disappointed to hear from the grocer that they were out of canned pumpkin. I could almost taste that pumpkin pie laced with cinnamon, ginger and cloves, but alas, it was not to be. He said there was a bad flood this year in a key location for pumpkins and the crop was wiped out. Libby's is not expected to restock their shelves for some time to come :(.
So, luckily for Jonathan, I made the switch to apple pie. (That's what he had asked for.) I came home and baked the pie and made homemade cranberry sauce. I also sauteed bacon and the vegetables that I will use for my cornbread dressing. I made the cornbread several days ago, crumbled it and froze it. I made Mark get out our turkey and check to make sure it still looked OK. I bought a fresh turkey this year when I couldn't find the size I needed among the frozen ones. (The nice man at Publix gave me the fresh at the frozen price for my trouble.)
My sweet family members are bringing the rest of the stuff, so I am really in pretty good shape!
I whipped out this page about Jonathan too. It tells the story of a sweet conversation we had at the dinner table tonight. I hope that by clicking on the page you can read the sweet things he said to me! I had so much fun using Anna Aspnes' brushes for this page. That's all the swirly stuff and the distressed edges on the orange block on the left. All the supplies are from Designer Digitals.
A safe and happy Thanksgiving to all!
I am a married mother of 4 sons with a simply fantastic life that I hope to share with you.
