Thanksgiving at the Nute Home, 1959

I love this photo. It was taken Thanksgiving, 1959 at my grandparent's house. My parents were just newlyweds of 5 months (they are not in this picture), and I was not even an inkling in their mind (perhaps my older brother and sister were-- but definitely not me!)

I love this photo so much because it just says "family Thanksgiving." The men are in ties, the women are dressed up. The china is being used and my grandmother's fancy goblets are out. The candles are lit, and there is a welcoming pineapple/fruit centerpiece on display. It's not a Martha Stewart affair, and would not grace the boards of Pinterest for it's recipe or party idea potential, but it sure looks like a festive gathering.

The best part about this picture is everyone has a smile on their face. So even if this was just a down-home Thanksgiving, it must have been fun!

Wishing you and your family have a wonderful, down-home Thanksgiving of your own!

Free Printable Thank You Notecards: Giving Thanks to Everyday Helpers

Free Printable Thank You Notecards for Everyday Helpers by B.Nute productions

We order pizza almost once a week from our favorite local restaurant. We've been doing this for some time now, and of course now we recognize the friendly guys that always deliver it to us. There is also our UPS man. Our house is at the end of his route, and sometimes he's dropping packages off past 7pm! Although these great folks are "just doing their job" sometimes it's nice to give them that extra thank you to let them know you appreciate their hard work.

Free Printable Thank You Note Card for the Delivery Person by B.Nute productions

In the spirit of thankfulness this holiday season, I've created a few hand drawn mini note cards specifically for those everyday helpers like your pizza delivery person, your package delivery person and your mail carrier. So print a few out, and write a quick note of thanks to let them know you appreciate what they do. Of course, these note cards can be used all year round so print a few extra to use just when the moment strikes.
