Our Thanksgiving Menu

Our kitchen remodel is nowhere near done and there are plenty of setbacks so we are going to have Thanksgiving down at our new Store and RV Resort we just bought.<br> <br> So I need to empty out and paint a fairly large space in the next two weeks and shop and make Thanksgiving happen.<br> <br> My Thanksgiving menu doesn't vary much from year to year since the family has tried and tested and decided on their favorites. Really they are pretty set in their ways and I love them for it.<br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="text-align: left;"></span></div> </div>

Nope...we are staying in the office to be.</span><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MKH9JhGWc7M/UoAzzrojSyI/AAAAAAAADbg/M6YyXfRyeuI/s1600/IMG_0490.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MKH9JhGWc7M/UoAzzrojSyI/AAAAAAAADbg/M6YyXfRyeuI/s320/IMG_0490.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Our plans were simple and have become a bit more complicated with so much work to do but we are pushing hard for the next few months in order to turn this house into our home.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">I've been debating on colors. The ceiling of course is going to be painted out in all white.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The walls I'm thinking of a honey tan or cocoa color. Maybe one darker accent wall in the darker color. My curtains I'm thinking red. The floor has been changed to wood beams and that is our current project we have going. The front door needs a definite paint treatment to conceal the imperfections in it. My cupboards....those are a project all their own.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">So now you see what I've been doing....ripping out flooring, tearing down curtains, knocking out old broken vanities, and screwing in wood flooring.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Can't wait to show you the reveal over the next few months.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">The whole place is getting an overhaul and I didn't do all the ceilings in white, I love the wood floors, and I'm getting quite a few new cabinets.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;">Stay tuned for the new pics.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Hope your projects are coming along nicely.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Hugs.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> Linking to <a href="http://www.betweennapsontheporch.net/">Met Monday</a></div>
