Thankful

There are so many reasons to be thankful. I just wanted to focus on the "food" in this layout. To give you a run-down, my favorite part of any holiday meal is the Pinapple Orange Salad. It is my step-grandmother's (Avis) recipe. Before she passed, she gave me the crystal dish that she used to serve it in. To this day, for every holiday, I make this salad and only use this dish.

Something else you may not know about me, or maybe you do, I am a dish horder. See the red depression dishes in the picture, they come from a lady down the street that was trashing them. Trashing them!!! The beautiful blue dish holding the smashed taters, that comes from Spain. So peeps, I am thankful for food, dishes, a house to hoard it all in, a husband who doesn't care, family, friends and a hobby that allows me to express my graditude any way I want!
