Thanks for Thanksgiving
Thanks for Thanksgiving | Julie Markes
66 posts | 4 read
Everyone knows that Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks the question is, where to begin? From the turkey on the table to warm, cozy cuddles, life is full of small things and bigger pleasures. But what is most important is being able to share them with family!Julie Markes reminds kids and adults alike about the little details that make each day enjoyable, while Doris Barrette's beautiful and striking illustrations bring her thoughtful words to life."

1. I sold a painting.
2. I saw a beautiful rainbow at my house
3. The sunrises were incredible this week.
4. I made a Thanksgiving painting
5. It's Thanksgiving, and I'm planning a dinner at my daughters on Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving, US Littens!

Our dinner plans were changed yesterday when we found out that our hosts were sick, so myspouse went to the store for the goods so we can do it ourselves. In all the time we‘ve been together, we‘ve never had the holiday here for just the two of us. I‘m disappointed to miss seeing everyone, but I‘m kind of looking forward to a nice quiet day of eating, reading, and watching football.

#grateful #novembernarrative

#TwoforTuesday

1. I always cook and invite all our kids and family down. They don‘t all show up, but I could feed an army. My neighbors who don‘t have family here are joining us this year.
2. Dressing (NOT stuffing)

This is not related to any book. I just wanted to thank the listy fam for helping me through this year. It has been an incredibly bad one for me at all fronts. The silver lining is this app, which helps me to get new recommendations and listens to my inferior reviews. I don't have much reader friends so this has been a big blessing for me. Reading is not always enough sometimes you want to talk about them and this is exactly what I needed.

ishan0986 I hope to increase my interaction and engagement here and be more active.
Special thanks to you guys @TheAromaofBooks @Reggie @AkashaVampie and @Scochrane26 .You listened and to me, helped me with silly issues and guided me towards new books. Thanks a lot. next year I will be here more often.

Great idea @Hestapleton if you are being smart and Thanksgiving at home with your immediate family, instead of traveling or running from family group to family group.... spend that running time to read instead!

I love it, and honestly as an introvert, the holiday bustle has always been a bit off putting to me anyway, so it‘s not a tough call for me. #FeastMode

You can check out her page/post & the link she posted

Hestapleton I feel you! I love my family, but it will be nice to not be running around this year. 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa My goal is read 3 hours a day! 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Hestapleton Yes, I love my family too, but I hate the holiday season...mostly because I always have to rush from one get together to another usually. I‘d be happy if everyone picked a different weekend, maybe between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I could enjoy 1 family get together each week, and not worry about rushing to the next, etc. (of course, not in a pandemic year). 4y
ravenlee My husband and I decided years ago, when we were first married, that Thanksgiving would be “our holiday” and we‘d never travel for it. We eventually adapted it for our families, so in normal times we host dinner on Veterans‘ Day weekend, which allows families to travel to us without sacrificing their own celebrations. We don‘t have guests every year, but it‘s nice when we do. 4y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ravenlee I think that‘s smart. I have cousins, with small kids, who fly or drive in every year for Christmas. It sounds nice, but I don‘t know how they manage it with little ones, let alone carting gifts back and forth in limited trunk/luggage space. I don‘t have any kids, but I still think it‘s madness, I want to wake up in my own bed and enjoy the day, not rush around through traffic. 4y

So to drown my self-pity I‘m hosting a Thanksgiving week #FEASTMODE Readathon and giveaway! Set your own goals and each post for the Readathon = one entry into a giveaway to win a book from TBR!

#gratitude30 #food Those of you who know me well know that I love to cook and have a sizable collection of cookbooks. I really love to cook for others, so it was a pleasure to contribute to our congregation‘s Thanksgiving potluck today. Peas with pancetta for a crowd.

Bookzombie Looks yummy. 6y
kspenmoll I adore peas! This looks so delish! Just added pancetta? 6y
Lynnsoprano @kspenmoll I chopped the pancetta and fried until crisp, removed it with a slotted spoon and sautéed chopped onion and garlic in the drippings. Added the peas, chicken broth, salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Simmered until the peas were cooked, then mixed in the pancetta and a little chopped parsley. It‘s a Cooking Light recipe (more or less-recipes are just guidelines?) 6y
kspenmoll Sounds delicious! Thank you! Cannot wait to make these! 6y
