ReplyDeleteThank you! Feels like you have taken us on a very lovely outing. Aloha
ReplyDeleteLovely post. I'm watching British Baking show right now. I also watch The Great American Baking Show. There is one season on the Roku channel. Have a nice day today.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great holiday, with such a variety of activities. That dessert looks like a piece of art! I'm glad that it tasted good, too.
ReplyDeleteI miss the Great British Bake Off now I got rid of cable. Looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. I think you must have had a lot of fun by the looks of all the happy faces. I also loved the portrait of Obama. Not so much the one of Clinton. Yes, art is subjective.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very entertaining and yummy time you had. Love the portrait of Obama.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I saw a docu on how the first portrait of Lincoln was done - quite an effort to make him look "nice" on a photograph...
All of it sounds wonderful!!!!
ReplyDeleteA great way to spend the holidays, I think. I would love to see the portraits of the presidents---that Obama portrait is superb. And look at the food you have gotten to enjoy...delightful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I will try to get my Disqus issues sorted out with the Help Desk on Monday. Fingers crossed.
I love that Obama portrait. What a packed holiday -- good packed!
