From our home to yours. Our dining room is all prepped for company.
I was inspired by this toy a friend brought to carving club. I think I will try to carve one similar to it! Happy Day before U.S. Thanksgiving. I loved it when in Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving in October, and then also celebrated Thanksgiving in November!!! It even made me feel special when the other day, someone posted a blog regarding Father’s Day in Sweden. I love special days, and love being a father!
I was busy taxiing most of the day, and never got a chance to put my photos onto my computer and post! Hope it was a day of thanksgiving for you all!

1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Cloves
1/4 tsp Salt
1 C. Light Corn Syrup
3 Eggs

Cream the butter and sugar: add spices and salt. Stir in the corn syrup. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in the oatmeal and pour into the pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about an hour, or till a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
To our U.S. friends, to our Canadian friends who have already lost all the weight they might have gained at their Thanksgiving meal, and to our friends worldwide, whom we are thankful for!

The First Thanksgiving
How many people really know how Thanksgiving began? I would venture to guess that even most Christians can’t tell you the real story of the first Thanksgiving celebration. The modern day version of Thanksgiving was held in 1621 at the Plymouth Plantation. The pilgrims had a harvest feast after the growing season to give praise to God for his blessings. The pilgrims had plenty of things to complain about. Half of the people had died during the harsh winter of starvation or disease. Despite all of this death and disease, the pilgrims were still thankful and grateful for everything they had. During the early days, the Thanksgiving holiday was celebrated at different times in the different colonies. The annual day of Thanksgiving did not get an official date until the Civil War., when it was instituted by Abraham Lincoln
