Now for the news around here.
I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday! It was quiet here.
I had a bit of trouble as the kids cooked.
I wanted to run over and take the reins, but I sat down and was silent. Not like me at all!!
We socially distanced by eating at 2 tables. My older son sat with my husband and I.
We had a double leaf in and he was at one end.
The hardest part was keeping our masks on for the 9 hours he was here.
As I had said before, he had self quarantined for 15 days so he could enjoy dinner with us.
I think all worked out well.
Everyone ate too much of course. And then everyone but my husband played Clue. It was fun.
I have been exhausted since then and am just resting.
I hope the up coming week treats you all well!

Sounds like you had a safe and good Thanksgiving and that is all we can ask for these days. Thanks for hosting as I am at #158 and #159. Have a wonderful week.
Great to see you Patrick. I hope your Thanksgiving was all you wanted it to be. I appreciate you leaving your links each week. It reminds me to go visit! Have an enjoyable week and stay safe!
Thanks for hosting! I’m 153-156 this week.
Thanks for sharing Amber! Enjoy your week.
Thanks for hosting the party and thank you so much for the feature of my cocoa!! I’m so honored and excited! Have a lovely week.
You are welcome Helen. Congrats again! It was a clear favorite at the party. Enjoy your week!
Hi Marilyn, I am #146 and sharing my Amazon buys for the holidays. I hope you have a nice week. Julie xo
Thank you Julie. I haven’t been on Amazon in a long time. Christmas shopping here I come! Enjoy your week.
I am a day late to the party this week. Linking up a couple of Christmas decor ideas this week in links 113 & 114. We are in lockdown again. There are $1000 fines for anyone caught having visitors in their home in an attempt to bring the numbers down before Christmas. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that changes for the holidays. If so, I plan to do what you did for Thanksgiving with individual tables per family for Christmas Dinner. The thought of spending Christmas without our kids and grandkids is just too upsetting. Have a great week, Marilyn!
Wow. A fine! Good for them. It will let us get rid of the restrictions sooner. I do hope you can all get together. Distanced tables and masks worked well. It was hard not to hug though. I hope Christmas goes smoothly. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Have a safe week!
My husband and sons cooked the meal without my help this year and I was amazed at how well they did! Linking up as #71-73 this week.
You have set such a great example with your sons cooking. I am bet he made you proud. He has talent! I am glad it pleased you to stay behind the scenes. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!
Hi Marilyn! Glad you were able to have Thanksgiving dinner with family. We basically had a “drive-by” lunch where everyone made a plate on their own. We’ve been distancing from my dad who was exposed because we don’t want to get sick. It’s been 2 weeks of lots of antiseptic wipes and frustration! I’m sharing 108 and 109.
I am sorry to hear about about your dad. I bet the drive by was a lot of fun. What a nice to way to share the meal! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!
I’m glad you got to enjoy Thanksgiving with loved ones. Rest well! Thank you for hosting I’m at #100 and #101 today. Have a great week Marilyn!
I hope your holiday was stress free Marielle! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!
Great party Marilyn, this week i am sharing 106. Have a great week.
Thank you Anita! I look forward to see what you sahre each week. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving. 🙂 Thanks for hosting! I brought by some Brown Butter. Hope you enjoy. 🙂
I hope your holiday was stress free CJ. I would love to see how you make your brown butter. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
Hey Marilyn, Iʻm at 92, 93, 94 this week. Iʻm thrilled to have my Chicken Marengo recipe featured! Itʻs such an interesting story. My pie this week has another interesting back story. I loved hearing about your family Thanksgiving!
You are welcome Lisa. Congrats again! PIE??? Now I am intrigued! I look forward to reading your post. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
So happy you were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with your family. It sure was different this year. Today I’m sharing #89- Tips for a Wonderful Covid Christmas.
Thank you so much for hosting and I hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you Cindy. I hope your Thanksgiving was stress free. I am sure Christmas will be a bit harder. The only one not residing in my home is my eldest. And he will quarantine again. Not doing dinner on my birthday, Christmas and New Year is going to be unique. New Year is going to bring home the fact we lost our best friend of 40 years just before Thanksgiving. I will be writing about how his death could help others. Not being able to comfort his wife and kids will be heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!
So glad you were able to spend Thanksgiving with some of your family. It was just me and my husband as we took no chances with traveling to family. I’m sharing #8 farmhouse ornaments and #upcycled ornament stand. Glad to be back at your party, I took a long break from parties. Thanks for hosting!
I LOVE homemade ornaments. For years my sister and I traded ours back and forth. I miss that now she is farther away. Thanks for sharing and enjoy a safe and happy week!
Hi, Marilyn! It sounds like you had a lovely and safe Thanksgiving; around here, my husband and I took advantage of a sunny day to hang our outdoor Christmas decorations. Thank you or hosting another great party, I am sharing #86 Cheesy Elbow Pasta. Have a wonderful week!
We had a sunny day also. So much fun for you two! Out decorations went up yesterday. Thanks for sharing and enjoy a safe and happy week!
Hey Marilyn, thanks for hosting. It sounds like you all had a great social distancing Thanksgiving overall. The day looked different for our family too—with fewer people and more phone alls. But overall, we are blessed.
I am glad you had a good time though. Less stress was one of the best perks. We had a zoom with my side and calls with mu husband’s. And as always I made way too much food as only one doggie bag was needed. Thanks for sharing and enjoy a safe and happy week!
Marilyn,
My Link Ups are # 82, 83 and 84 for this week!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to host each week!! It is greatly appreciated!! Stay safe, healthy and happy!!
Hugs,

Thank you Debbie for always being here for the party. I wish you and your family a safe and quiet Christmas!
Thank you so much for the feature and another wonderful party. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and weekend.
You are welcome Chas. Congrats again! I hope you had a good time with your sister. Enjoy a safe and wonderful week!
Hi Marilyn
I’m glad your whole family could gather for Thanksgiving! We could not all quarantine so we celebrated separately. It was different but still nice and I amdea turkey and all the trimmings anyway.
Today I am #60==I wrote about a historical event in Colorado and a new statue that will go up to commemorate it. History evolves.
I am glad your celebration turned out regardless of boundaries. I love when you write about your state. Enjoy a safe and wonderful week!
Thank you for hosting the party. It sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving. I’m so proud of you for stepping back and letting the kids cook – it is hard! Our links this week are: #56, #57, & #59. Have a relaxing week.
Thank you Amy! I hope your holiday was all you wanted it to be. Enjoy a safe and wonderful week!
How nostalgic, Clue is one of our favorite family games. I’m leaving part 1 of 2 of a Christmas story I hope everyone enjoys.
I do enjoy reaching back into my childhood and enjoy games with the kids. Life was so simple back then. I lok forward to reading your story! I appreciate you visiting each week to share with us. Enjoy a safe and happy week ahead!
How wonderful of your son to self quarantine so he could join you for Thanksgiving! So happy you could be together for food and family fun! I can’t believe it’s now almost December and the holiday season is well underway. Thank you for featuring my upcycled gift tins Marilyn, I had so much fun making them!
You are welcome Jnenna. Congrats again. I hope the days slowo down a bit as well as my lifestyle. I want to enjoy my life while I can. I appreciate you visiting each week to share with us. Enjoy a safe and happy week ahead!

And hoping life slows down now that we are celebrating Advent.
Me too Michele. Being able to be present in the moment is a blessing. I appreciate you visiting each week to share with us. Enjoy a safe and happy week ahead!
We had a quiet holiday as well…just the 4 of us. Thanks for hosting each week. This week, I am number 16. Thanks again and enjoy your week!
Shelley
I am glad you had a quiet holiday. I think slowing down and enjoying each perosn is a blessing in disguise. I appreciate you visiting each week to share with us. Enjoy a safe and happy week ahead!
Laughing at how hard it is to not jump in to fix things. The energy it takes to hold back would make me tired!
OK, I’m #9 and #11 for the week. It’s all about Christmas for the next month:)
Have a good one,
Hugs,
RR
I am glad to know I am not the only one!! Letting go is one of the lessons I doubt I will ever learn. I appreciate you visiting each week to share with us. Enjoy a safe and happy week ahead!
