Thankful
It’s that time of year again. Thanksgiving, a day to give thanks for family, friends, and all the people who enrich our lives. I love Thanksgiving, I love the tradition and I love cooking the feast. I’m thankful that across the world my family in Germany enjoyed the same traditional food on their table. Lily will grow up to know the tradition even if she doesn’t get the day off from school. I hope all of you are ready for turkey day and the start of the holiday season. The holidays get crazier every year, but I hope you can find some time to relax and enjoy the days.

I just bought packages of marshmallow snowmen to serve with the hot chocolate. Can you believe how cute these are? I’m sending two of these packages to my Lily in Germany. She’s going to love these! Marshmallows anyone? Thank you Williams Sonoma for making Christmas fun! My whole family will…

Acorns and Roses
Two weeks before Thanksgiving and in California we have acorns falling and roses blooming. Feels normal for November. I set off for the farmer’s market this morning with my camera in hand. Our Farmer’s Market is open for one more weekend believe it or not. There’s one more photo I took today… I’m making receiving blankets and burp cloths for my new granddaughter who’s due to arrive in February. Lily will have a new little sister soon! Back soon, Anne
