ReplyDeleteMuch love back to you, dear Amanda, and a big thanksgiving! Thanks for all our blog friendships that we have found, and for encouragement and joy and new ideas and sights and news about the weather in Texas or Botswana or Brazil - I feel so connected! I can sit here in my little office and look at my computer screen, and think, Now look at that little Amanda, as if I had known you all my life, and yours. Is that not AMAZING, and wonderful?
ReplyDeleteevery blessing to you, amanda. (adorable from an early age). you have been a wonderful part of 2011 and i look forward to more in 2012. so many blessings from so many true-blue new friends

We have celebrated Thanksgiving on the second Monday of October up here but happy one to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteOne of my worst experience was driving down to Willimantic, Ct, on Thanksgiving U.S. style, to visit my son then teaching at Eastern Connecticut U. We almost ran out of gaz, were thrown out of a convenience store because the owner was going to a family dinner and were lucky to find a lunch counter still opened for another half hour with a service station right across the street. Otherwise we would have been stranded on A89 till next morning.
i came back to see the little you again. ♥
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! Your mother is very chic :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you!
Amanda you looked cute!
ReplyDeleteand your Mother-a very elegant woman!
happy thanksgiving to you all!
Happy Thanksgiving dear Amanda, hope you have a lovely time with your sister.;)
ReplyDeleteI loved this holiday during my years in the US and missed it dearly upon my leave and still do. It is so odd that here life goes on as usual.;) No celebration ad no Turkey or pumpkin pie.;))
And what a great sentimental picture.;)I too wear tons of bracelets;))

paul - that is definitely NOT a good memory of thanksgiving (and certainly not a display of the spirit of the season.) i hope this year's holiday was a much happier memory for you!
sara - my mom was very chic — and while i don't feel i inherited her sense of style, at least i inherited her love of bangles ;-)
ReplyDeleteola - thank you!! ♡
