HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Good Morning, wishing all my other Canadian blogging friends a wonderful Thanksgiving, hope you enjoy the day with loved ones.       Today is cool and rainy here in Winnipeg but we really need the rain, it has been a heck of a dry summer.         I had my family over for Thanksgiving supper, the traditional  turkey, ham, mashed potatoes,  corn/carrots,  cabbage rolls,  all the good fixins.....ya....I strapped the feedbag on and ate way to much but everything was so tasty.   Then the dessert, pumpkin or apple pie, yum yum,  I`m a apple pie nut, always been my favorite, not to fond of pumpkin, but all my family enjoy a piece of pumpkin pie and whipped cream.   Was a wonderful evening spent with loved ones, telling stories of funny times we have had together, so much to be thankful for, I am blessed.      Wishing you all a great week ahead,  thanks for all your Thanksgiving wishes to me and mine, you are a thoughtful bunch of terrific gals, enjoy your friendships very much........... Warm Blessings Francine.                                    

THE ONLY PICTURE I TOOK,AFTER SUPPER

TALK TURKEY



Good Afternoon,  thought I would take some time out of my busy day cleaning the old homestead up for Thanksgiving  company, oh ya, I need a coffee break right about now and say hello.               Since it`s our Thanksgiving weekend I thought I would  do a little post and show some of my collecting of old turkey items I have.    It all started with one turkey I had seen at a flea market for a buck, liked it, bought it and it`s been going on from then.  Old salt and pepper shakers, planters, candles, plates, whatever I find and like, but slowed down buying now, really don`t see to many old turkey items around here, so will enjoy what I have.   Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Blessings Francine.......GOBBLE ..GOBBLE.

TO HOOK OR NOT TO HOOK



MY FUNNY PUMPKIN

 Happy Monday... wow, October 1st already, can`t believe it, where oh where did September go??????          Well,  I come to the conclusion my hooking sucks.    My wonderful Sis-in-Law taught me the old prim art of rug hooking this Spring,    she bought me the old hook,   started me off with a piece of burlap, wool and told me to draw a picture and away I hooked.    She has made so many great mats, rugs,  love them all.     Took me awhile but I finished my first one,  o.k. all you talented hookers out there, hold back on the laughter.....I`m trying, I`m trying.        Started on another, wanted a little Welcome mat, well, it welcomed it`s way into  the garbage.   Now with Fall here I wanted to try to hook a pumpkin,  well, kinda looks like a pumpkin, Ha!!!!!    So..... not to sure but I guess I should keep trying, maybe will get better with each loop, hope so, do enjoy hooking but.......   Enjoy this first day of October my friends, Warm Blessings Francine.
