I love spending Thanksgiving with our good friends in San Diego. We always have a wonderful time [and eat FAR TOO MUCH FOOD]. It's the next best thing to being with our own family. Which makes sense considering they're like family to us.
I do admit, we have no appreciation for the traffic we contend with on the way south though. Fortunately, the day was beautiful so we could at least enjoy the view over the ocean. (and through the rear view mirror.)
We're truly thankful for such gracious friends and their never ending hospitality. (Diane had a dinner layout for 22 people,
including 5 Marines.) Twenty-Two blessed guests who spent Thanksgiving together because of the embracing heart of one person. I
have always been impressed with Diane's ability to reach out and befriend others.
Wow.
She deserves an award.

traffic or not, looks like it was so worth the trip. i'm always envious of people who are able to graciously host large numbers of people seemingly effortlessly.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a beautiful table! Looks like the perfect T-day!
ReplyDeleteAn award and a spread in Martha Stewart--what a gorgeous table! And I LOVE the traffic photo, perfectly executed!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's one heck of a table! Gorgeous - definitely worth battling traffic!
ReplyDeleteThat is one big and beautiful table. Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI cant imagine sitting at a table with all of those people. It looks so well decorated. She did do a great job!
ReplyDeleteWow is right! 22 guests is amazing, and that table looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! :)
Now that's a Thanksgiving table!!! Amazing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving. People who can plan for more that 10 I think all deserve an award. :) I'm impressed she had everyone seated together too.
ReplyDeleteThat is on big table. I love when people make a huge table instead of a bunch of smaller ones. We never had a kids table at out house.
