THANKSGIVING WITH THE U.S. MARINES

We have hosted U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton in our home for Thanksgiving on a couple of occasions, and surely, more to come. It is such an honor to have these young men over for the day to enjoy home cooking and share their boot camp stories with our family. Here's a few photos of one of those occasions and the Thanksgiving table that I set for the occasion.  It's pretty simple.  I dried the lemon slices in the oven the day before and used them to strew along the runner. I also used whole chestnuts in glass vases to surround votive candles.
