Thanksgiving Day was way last month and I’m only writing now about it. Oh, well, better late than never! The holiday season is a very, very busy time for grannies. We’re busy decorating and baking and buying presents and well, I’ve been busy caroling, too! I just love singing Christmas songs! Oh, but that’s my next entry… Let’s get back to Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving day was so warm and wonderful with so many good friends and family! We had a house full of people and other critters! We all had fun baking apple pies from scratch! Yes, there’s nothing like a homemade pie still warm from the oven. First, we peeled apples galore. Then, we made the pie crust. Somehow most of the flour seemed to end up on Raven and Scarlett!

We also made fruit salad. “Ambrosia” we call it. We picked the oranges fresh from my very own orange tree! Yes, I have both an orange tree and a lemon tree in my backyard. So sometimes we make fresh lemonade, too. (You can watch Buttons and Bows and me make lemonade in the video “Happity Birthday!” Order a copy under Children’s Products.) Ah, but again I stray…

Back to Thanksgiving. We had a marvelous, sumptous feast of turkey and trimmings. We played all kinds of word games. We took a walk in the crisp, autumn air. But the day would not have been complete without our time together sharing and giving thanks for our many, many, many blessings!

What a dazzling day we had yesterday! I spent it outside with my friends: Buttons and Bows (they’re bunnies, you know), Friendly Phil the Frog and dear, sweet Megan (she’s five)! The sun was shining and the sky was such a pretty blue! We drove around with the top down in my cute little blue convertible. We stopped for frozen custard which was yum-yum, yummy! And while we ate it we watched the ducks and turtles at the pond. Then we played at the park. Check out the fun we had in these photos!

Oh, HALLELU-YAH! This is my very first blog. I’m a granny, you know, and when I grew up we didn’t have computers or blogs. (And yes, when I was a child many years ago, I really did walk over a mile to school and, yes, sometimes even in the SNOW, up and down hills both ways!) But my son ‚ bless his precious little heart, he’s a computer whiz and he got me going on this “blog” – whatever that is!?! All I know is that I can share good stories and goodwill with all my special little friends. I have lots of special friends. Maybe they’ll be your special friends, too!

The photo above shows me with Buttons & Bows ‚ they’re bunnies, you know ‚ and the green guy is Friendly Phil the Frog. He has a golden heart because he keeps the Golden Rule. I have a whole story about that for a future blog! And I’ll be introducing you to some of my other friends, too. In the meantime, keep hopin’ and hoppin’!

Love,

Granny Vee
