Unplugged is a good thing; we all need a break from media and I've yet to be sorry I stopped subscription television 2 years ago. Not everyone is decorating beautifully for Christmas. I wrapped a grape vine wreath with ribbon and a bow, put it up at the driveway and, other than lots of candles and clearing the kitchen table, that's going to be it for me. Glad you had a great visit, a safe trip. Merry Christmas to you and yours!Thistle Cove Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15722295191884810953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-32613511204893095642015-12-04T01:29:55.488-05:002015-12-04T01:29:55.488-05:00Sweet friend, I am woefully behind on my blog visi...Sweet friend, I am woefully behind on my blog visiting as well.

That teaches you very much what to be grateful for!<br />Today I'm grateful for my Dad's health as he does not need heart surgery; prayers being answered.<br />Sending you hugs and blessings,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-86507324331643011052015-12-03T22:23:27.058-05:002015-12-03T22:23:27.058-05:00A beautiful retreat for you all!

Although not in the mountains, there was an escarpment surrounding their place, and house was situated on a hill above woods and wide creeks on either side. Big fireplace would be burning logs all day long as the turkey roasted. These are the days I miss it most ;) Enjoy your weekend (and I don't even have the boxes dragged up from the basement yet, or a wreath on my door!).<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-20493043022091510062015-12-03T01:40:13.296-05:002015-12-03T01:40:13.296-05:00Sounds absolutely wonderful!

It just makes all the holidays so much sweeter. I like to savor each holiday and not rush into the next one....

Actually, when we get together with our family I rarely blog or go on-line. Time with family is too precious to neglect , and distractions such as the computer, t.v., and phone don't compare for time with family.<br /><br />What a beautiful place to spend thanksgiving.

It is nice to do the unexpected. My late hubby bought a 4 wheeler months before he passed away. He liked to take it to our friends' ranch in Arkansas, where he liked to relax. Our youngest son now stores the ATV in his garage and we all like to ride it up in Arkansas, when we visit. <br />Thanks for thinking of me when I was visiting my mom in Ohio. Wouldn't it be lovely to get together for tea one day? kitty@ Kitty's Kozy Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02803962513834013589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-49731381397066662872015-12-02T05:44:09.116-05:002015-12-02T05:44:09.116-05:00That sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving! :) That sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving! :) Deb @ Frugal Little Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091419343402163298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-91867363353356508942015-12-02T00:59:03.545-05:002015-12-02T00:59:03.545-05:00You are anything but dull, Deborah!

I have been decorating and baking all day. My back hurts, my feet hurt, and well, I'm pretty tired. The trouble is I'm having company the day after tomorrow so things have to get done, you see. Hubby told me to make myself a cup of tea and put my feet up. So, that's what I'm about to do. Thank you for sharing and your decorating will get done. Just take your time and enjoy. Don't do what I've been doing! *smiles*<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-8373643382407684642015-12-01T14:07:10.496-05:002015-12-01T14:07:10.496-05:00Hello Deborah,
