Happy Thanksgiving from Home Garden Joy! I have so much to be thankful for – and I am especially thankful for YOU, my readers! I’ve seen a surge of subscriptions to the Joy Letter (my monthly newsletter), new faces here at Home Garden Joy, and lots of new friends on Facebook and Pinterest. Thank you so much!
I am thankful for so much in my life – but mostly, I am thankful for being at a place in my life where I am doing what I love for a living, on my own terms. I am thankful that my physical needs for food, clothing, and shelter are abundantly provided for, and I am thankful for 16 years of marriage to my wonderful, steady husband. I am thankful for my brothers and sisters, for my nieces and nephews, and for the many friends far and near who share their love with me every day. I am thankful for a great church family at St. Theresa Catholic Church, for friends there who share my passion for choral music and prayer, and I am thankful for a beautiful community here in Farmville, Virginia.
So much to be thankful for…enjoy your special day!
OH! And I almost forgot! Yes, we made my husband’s family recipe last night: Italian spinach sausage stuffing. This stuffing is so delicious we’ve been known to make it as a meal, or at least to eat leftovers as a meal.
The recipe is here: Italian Spinach Sausage Recipe.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving! Happy Thanksgiving from Home Garden Joy!
