Thankfulness Day 30- A Month of Thankfulness

Hello doodle friends! It is Amelia once again reporting from Yesteryear Acres. Since I was the one to start our annual Month of Thankfulness, it only felt right for me to bring it to a close. For the month of November I am thankful that most of my days looked like this...  Surrounded by furry family members 

Both new additions 

As well as

 'old' 

I am thankful for many days like these

Where you are never alone

Even when you have to fold laundry

I am always thankful for my beautiful happy life surrounded by my family and friends. (Including Human and Doodles of all kinds!)

I am Thankful. 

Thankfulness Day 29 - Joy

I am so thankful for the joy that doggies bring to our lives. There isn't a day that goes by that isn't filled with happiness and tail wagging devotion. We are so blessed and grateful our lives are full of doggie and puppy antics.

Ohhhhh Mr. Yesteryear Acres - I found your big leaf pile! 

Come on Olive.....I will show you how it is done!

First you need to smell the leaves....ahhhhhhh 

Then you need to dig a big hole 

Deeper

Deeper

Almost there

Now it is essential to bury your head

You need to be sure to coat both sides evenly

Don't forget the top of your head 

That should about do it

Oh the final step

This part is crucial 

Cover all the evidence as quickly as possible!

Now wasn't that fun?!

Joy!

Thankfulness Day 28 - Safe

On a very serious note, I am thankful my son is safe.  There was an active shooter alert at his campus and it happened right near his dorm and the garage where he parks. My son would have been right there had he not stopped for a bagel this morning. I have never loved bagels more. Needless to say, I am so grateful he is fine and my heart goes out to all the families affected. How I wish the world we live in would be one of safety and peace.  For today, I am going to hug my Doodle Doggies and Doodle Puppies a bit tighter and count the days until I can give my son a big hug again.
Here are a few pictures to bring comfort and puppy hugs

Wanna hug?

Happy Monday

Thankfulness Day 27 - Missing

This morning we had a final breakfast/brunch feast before the sad goodbyes started. We wanted to make sure to have everyone's favorites so our menu was rather plentiful.  Everything made from scratch of course... Eggs Made to Order, Maple Glazed Thick Cut Bacon, Buttermilk Biscuits, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Cream Cheese Coffee Cake, Caramel Cinnamon Pull Aparts and Fresh Baked Croissants. Needless to say, we have full bellies and maybe a few leftovers!

My daughter's coffee cake 

I almost forgot!!!! Homemade Turkey Noodle Soup for lunch!  With fresh pasta!  

It was a delicious feast. Then sadly and surely, one-by-one, it was time to say goodbye.  I already miss them all so much.  The doggies are all so sad too.  The doggies' weekend was full of this:

Lots of hugs 

and mid-day snuggles 

and cuddles.

Dear Doggies, I know just how you feel.  I want them all to come back too!  For my Thankfulness today, I am thankful the weekend happened.  I am thankful for having a full house this weekend. I am thankful I have so much love in my life.  I am thankful for the missing them part too.  I miss them so much because I love them so much.  And they love me that much right back. If it weren't perfectly wonderful to have them all home, today wouldn't be so hard.

I miss you!

Come back!

Stay Safe!

Counting the days until we are together again.

Thankfulness Day 26 - The Bakers and The Pasta Makers

It is no secret that we LOVE home cooked food here at Yesteryear Acres. We try to make most things from scratch and we really appreciate good food. A leisurely delicious home-cooked meal is essential to our days of happiness and thankfulness. Today my 2 daughters took a class on making homemade croissants.

The perfect croissant dough 

Looks like expert level to me! 

Ready for the oven 

Would you like some croissants?

2 of my favorite chefs 

They made chocolate ones too! 

Mmmmmmm! SO GOOD! 

Back at Yesteryear Acres Bri held her own cooking class 

Our son's friend from Hawaii is staying with us all Thanksgiving Weekend and Bri showed him how to make homemade pasta. 

He mastered fettuccini! 

Pretty happy with his pasta making abilities 

"Thanks for the lesson Bri.  I am now a pasta maker!"

Many thanks to my bakers and pasta makers.....

 deliciousness made with love!!!!
