The family looks forward to the appetizers on Thanksgiving
almost as much as the dinner....
I love finding unique items to add such as this Italian Strawberry Preserves...
beautifully paired with deli cheeses....

LOVE Y'ALL TO BITS....
Lots of autumn enjoyment in your family, Betsy! Here at my home, too! Birthdays add to the fun!
ReplyDeleteI love all your fall decorations. So pretty, just made me want to come visit. I never thought of strawberry preserves with cheese but brie maybe or someother soft cheese. I think I'll try it.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your fall touches around the house. I need some new fall pillow covers! The apple pies look very yummy too. I made some apple crunch...oh my! Happy Fall!
ReplyDeleteOh, Betsy! I always LOVE coming here and reading your sweet posts. I always find the love of your family and home here and it puts a smile on my face. Lovely, lovely, lovely---all the way around. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty sights around your house and good foods to eat. I really have to say there's no shortage of good looking men in your family. LOL I am shocked at Luke growing so quickly, so it seems anyway. Blessings to all, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteWe have some of the same pillows!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! Filled with fun and family! LOVE the fallish weather! I was so happy when the front came in that I nearly cried!
Prayers for your husband on the knee replacement. I have had both done and am so thankful for them!
What a wonderful photo of your grandson and the family on his birthday all dressed up. And a fun time for your other grandson on his first high school Homecoming. Fun times for sure. I have another blog friend who loves Susan Branch calendars and such. They are delightful. The strawberry preserves sound Yummy, and those apple pies you made! I love that pretty velvet pumpkin in the cranberry color. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, and you set a lovely table with the pine cones. A cute cat picture, and I love that one of you throwing the leaves in the air. That's a Fall photo to treasure.
ReplyDeleteHave a sweet October week, Betsy. I am enjoying your Autumn posts so much.

Mmmmm….potato salad and asparagus casserole 🥘! That sounds divine!! Do I cook asparagus first and then just mix together or actually cook together??
