If I've gone through all this and no one is the wiser, what was the point? Peonies is right, in many ways, maybe the only way to get here is the bumpy road. One good thing about trying so hard is that then you know that at least any failures aren't due to a lack of character on your part:).LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-89098150490242809282009-12-01T06:54:29.367-08:002009-12-01T06:54:29.367-08:00Yoou're giving so much to us young bloggers, ...Yoou're giving so much to us young bloggers, sharing your wisdom with us.Cate Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272234788337670115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-26762421810032639462009-11-30T14:21:49.170-08:002009-11-30T14:21:49.170-08:00Well.

It was our first Thanksgiving as a married couple, actually as a family, so it was VERY important to make it special. I cooked a perfect turkey. It looked like it came straight from the magazine, roasted brussel sprouts, chopped and diced other stuff for the stuffing and pulled off a perfect peach pie for dessert. <br />We ate off of china ,used old silver place settings that belonged to the SS maternal grandmother (the ss really liked the fancy dishes) and wore our sweats. After their third helping of everything the guys watched football and I took a nap. It was a perfect Thanksgiving.Plus Size Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00767130071155615734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-13727470319103742652009-11-29T21:14:20.966-08:002009-11-29T21:14:20.966-08:00A perfectly wise post.

I didn't know that some things are given to you perfect in their native state. And perfect doesn't mean perfect. Wisdom is lit by sheer accumulation of knowledge, pinpoints of knowledge, fireflies in a New Jersey summer. It's an understanding of just what in those little stories of your life was truth. What matters. I didn't need to try so hard." Wow!!!!

The desserts are usually from the bakery, not home made. And we use stainless because I don't have time to polish the silver anymore. I discovered my guests don't really care. They're just delighted to be out and having fun. You do the best you can and try to make your guests comfortable.
