It looks very warm and inviting; perfect backdrop for holiday decor. <br /><br />I've been the odd adult at many celebrations and holidays, as I didn't marry until later in life. There is tons of discrimination against single women. Not so much men. I was viewed as an oddity, many times, for not being part of a couple. I understand exactly how it can make you feel.<br /><br />Sorry the rice didn't work out; but it might have been overkill considering just how much food y'all had!<br /><br />The Always Annonymous HollyMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-28402602728727700712010-11-28T21:30:21.337-06:002010-11-28T21:30:21.337-06:00Lovely centerpiece.

So when friends want to come over early for dinner, I kindly tell them no (unless they want rice mush, for example) and yearn for a kitchen with a door ;) I think they had enough food there, though. How was the kids' table? ;) Gorgeous Holiday house... that's for sure.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07611841859105340876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-45575818551637077682010-11-26T18:48:58.467-06:002010-11-26T18:48:58.467-06:00Yes Nita...I concur, when I was scrolling through ...Yes Nita...I concur, when I was scrolling through I thought these were a magazine!

I always tell her that her house looks straight out of a magazine. This confirms it. I should have told more about the dining room. The table is made from an antique door. It's fantastic. I'll show more soon when It's all done up for Christmas.<br /><br />That hutch that takes up the entire wall? She bought it without measuring. Most of her furniture comes from a store that imports antiques from around the world. It's just down the street from her. <br /><br />Beach Bungalow asked why I sat at the kid's table...because we had several grown up couples as guests so both Shannon and I sat at the kid's table. Not so bad...it was in front of the window and just to the side of the big table. So it wasn't like it was in another room.<br /><br />Back when we had huge Thanksgivings in my own family....I always had to sit at the kids table. Because I wasn't married...I was the odd adult. It got where my little cousins started to ask how old I was and why was I still sitting with them. <br /><br />Only the Thanksgivings that I brought a date to dinner did I get to sit with the adults. And you think there isn't discrimination towards single people? I'll let you know there is.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518721847478228439.post-34143500244027355242010-11-26T09:24:27.942-06:002010-11-26T09:24:27.942-06:00What a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner!I always sat ...What a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner!I always sat at the kids table for holidays, even after I had kids of my own.
