Wednesday: Debby Giusti's blog post, A Thanksgiving 2020 Reflection, got us in the mood for Turkey Day and helped us focus on the many reasons, even in spite of the pandemic, to give thanks.

Send your snail mail address to Seekerville2@gmail.com so Debby can get your books in the mail.

Friday: Ruthy and friends chatted about heroes and character development... and the winner of a copy of Ruthy's newest Love Inspired "Finding Her Christmas Family" is Wilani Wahl! 

And Ruthy's winners from ELEVEN days ago because she's a dork but she held a lovely Christkindl at the farm and raised money for charity so folks should always cut her some slack, don't you agree? :) Anyway, winners of "Finding Her Christmas Family" are Sarah Taylor and Angeline!

  1. Congrats to KB on an award she received. I hope she'll stop by and share her good news!

    Enjoy the weekend! We're into the Thanksgiving countdown. The grocery stores are packed, and turkeys are flying off the shelves. What are you cooking for Thanksgiving?

  2. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

    Debby, I ended up ordering our Thanksgiving meal from Cracker Barrel this year. I heard from a friend that she and her mom had been unable to find turkey breasts from their groceries (and I didn't want a whole turkey for our small family). So I'll be picking up our meal on Wednesday and then re-heating everything on Thanksgiving. :)

  3. We're looking forward to welcoming our new daughter-in-law (Erica Vetsch's beautiful daughter) to her first Drexler family holiday celebration! An extra blessing to be thankful for this year!

    We're cooking the usual - turkey and all the fixings!

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

  4. My Thanksgiving will be small--just my husband and son. We elected not to get together with extended families this year. But we will have the usual--turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, some kind of vegetables, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and peanut butter pie. Looking forward to a quiet day.
