I want to go there before Christmas but I don't know if we'll have the chance with Brian's crazy schedule. Movies...I can't remember if I've seen Love Actually - I thought I've seen just about every Hugh Grant movie there is, but yet when I Googled it and read about it, it doesn't sound familiar! I'll have to see if it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime and watch it. The Holiday is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I think I have a thing for those British men. ;-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-84583877165888123632015-11-28T17:35:04.341-06:002015-11-28T17:35:04.341-06:00Hi Jane, stopping back by to say hello.

I use them to hold my Vintage Brooches as an Excuse to keep them visible year-round usually. *LOL* Meeting our Blog Friends in Person is always a Rush, and yes, many of the Kindred Spirits we meet in this Wonderful Community we become so close to, even those we may never actually get to meet face to face.

Congratulations,...The velvet pumpkins are gorgeous. Congratulations, Jane! It's great that you have an opportunity to meet up with Cindy. You mentioned Galena, IL, and that has to be one of the prettiest little towns in the country. Friends gave my late husband and I a bed and breakfast stay in Galena for our anniversary (that's when we were living in Illinois), and we just loved it so much that we went back at a later date when we could stay longer. Door County is on my bucket list, though when I'll get there now that I live in NE Oregon is a mystery. But, you never know.

Congratulations on winning the pumpkins! They sure are beautiful. I have seen the movie Love Actually before and it is a great one! Very romantic <3 I'm sure you and hubby had a lovely evening. I love it when my sweety watches a movie I like with me. I recently got him to watch Cinderella the 2015 movie. He side eyed me in the beginning but then I noticed him getting really into it lol. He would kill me if he saw me writing this lol. It's really a great movie. I would love to read the column you write!

I just met one in my town this week. We had a great time. I'm meeting 2 more in 2 weeks. <br />I have an air stepper and love it but I think I'd enjoy a stepper like you have even better. <br />Enjoyed your post and all the adventures of your life.

I can't imagine having snow this early in the year. It would shut down Georgia! LOL! I feel the same way as you about getting the turkey though. Gotta have that thing ready and waiting (if I'm hosting)! I used to do step aerobics at a gym. It was offered as one hour classes. I loved it! I haven't done it in years but I used to do it before I had kids. It will give you great looking legs! Do you use a CD or something to follow? Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

She too has purchased and wrapped many Christmas gifts and already has them under her tree. One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving and Christmas is the baking and the warm fire glowing in the fireplace. Just something about it all which soothes my soul.<br />How nice to have met a blogging friend-I am looking forward to meeting some Texas bloggers next month when we have a Christmas cookie exchange.<br />Wishing you a lovely Thanksgiving with much love and joy,<br />xo<br />JemmaJemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-64935087154471939432015-11-22T12:51:58.366-06:002015-11-22T12:51:58.366-06:00I'm knee deep in Thanksgiving prep over here t...I'm knee deep in Thanksgiving prep over here too.

And I read it slowly to take it all in. I wish I had a blogging friend I could see once a year, but then, I'm not much of a traveler. I stopped giving gifts, except for the grandchildren, years ago. It just got to be too much and really, what do we need that we can't get for ourselves? I find it makes things more relaxing. But then, some people, and I am guessing you are one, just really get into wrapping gifts and all that. So do what makes you happy! I could never do that stair stepper thing. Walking up steps is really hard on my ankle. But I hope it gives you extra energy for all that you do for the holidays for your family and friends.<br />BrendaBrenda Pruitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-12935268772371328452015-11-22T09:20:01.328-06:002015-11-22T09:20:01.328-06:00I just can't believe Christmas is so soon!
