Happy Thanksgiving to you all! The Irish don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Ireland. Normally, Joe and I go out for turkey dinner, but we are just having a quiet day. I just got over a bad week with the post shingles infection. The two antibiotics finally kicked in. This week was hard. The infection in the nerves in my head I can only equate to what you feel when you have a toothache, but much worse, if you can just imagine that. I was mostly holding my head hoping it would go away, and finally it did, so I have much to be thankful for. I am mostly thankful for having Joe, our two dogs Rufus and Charlie, and thankful also to good friends like your good selves.May you all have a wonderful holiday! I know you all will have great meals. I can remember the stuffed turkey, cranberry, mashed potatoes , vegggies and pie I used to have each year with my family in the States. Joe and I are skipping going out to dinner this year for Thanksgiving. We will make it up on Christmas.We will have a wonderful dinner, some goodies, and exchange presents. It is only weeks away.
I hope everyone will have a blessed holiday, and keep smiling!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving dear Micki! We don't celebrate here in England, but I give thanks for the wonders of the internet and the friends it has brought into my life from all over the world!
We had bacon, cabbage and potatoes :D
best wishes Kath
I hope you feel better soon! The shingles are really miserable! Hugs, Diane ♥
Glad you are feeling somewhat better Micki. Not at all fun. I'm going to a friend's house for Thanksgiving Dinner.
So glad that it is improving on the health front. We have to be thankful for that. A happy thanksgiving to you and your husband.
MICKI!!! WOWOW, I know exactly what shingles feels like! I had that about 23 years ago after a huge stressful time of my life, having lost both parents within two weeks of each other. I had the rash on my torso and all I could liken it to was as if someone was stabbing me with a knife! I cannot even imagine the pain dear one on you head???
WISHING YOU MUCH JOY as you celebrate with your beloved ones and have some turkey thinking of us here in the states. Thank you for your kind comments and LET CREATIVITY LIVE ON!!!
BLESSINGS, Anita
I am glad to hear that the pain is finally going away. I completely understand having a quiet day at home. Sometimes that is worth more than gold.
I am thankful to have you for a friend. I am truly blessed to have found so many delightful friends in the blogging world.
Glad that the antibiotics are helping out. You have certainly had your share of health concerns recently. Christmas is very near. I hope you can enjoy your turkey then.
Glad to hear things are getting better health wise. My husband had shingles years ago and says still to this day he can feel them in the cold weather! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
Hi Micki!.. My gosh, I'm so sorry to hear you weren't feeling well. I can't imagine pain WORSE than a toothache, but I guess I should be thankful for THAT!.. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better now!.. I served up a big breakfast this morning, and from there the family scattered.. So I will be serving our big turkey dinner tomorrow! I am baking pumpkin pie as I'm writing you right now! (0; However you celebrate it, I'm wishing both you and Joe a wonderful weekend! ((hugs)) ~tina
Thank you Micki.....I thought about you today....I was dreaming about being in Ireland....such fun to dream.
Smiles,

Hi Micki, I really enjoy reading your posts. I hope you are soon feeling 100% again. We in Australia do not celebrate Thanksgiving either, although perhaps we should. Hug, Sandy
thanks for the good wishes. Glad to hear that you are on the mend
Happy to hear from you that you are going better, have a nice and calm weekend with your Joe, as I have my Milenko, which is preparing for going to RIjeka, t make an check up calling invasive coronographie (to look at all heart surrounding and chest), Sincerely . Loredana.
I'm glad to hear you are starting to feel a little better. As long as you are surrounded by loved ones, it is a good "Thanksgiving Day." I hope you enjoyed your day!
Hi Micki, so glad you are feeling better and at least able to enjoy the day without pain.
G'day, Micki ~ So sorry you are having such a time, hope they clear up quickly.
Have a beautiful relaxing day ...
Hugs,
TTFN~ Marydon
Hope you are feeling better. You have had more than your share of painful days lately. Hope you have a good weekend!
I'm glad you hear you're feeling better. The whole toothache analogy but worse sounds awful. I'm so sorry you've had to go through that. Wishing you a healthy holiday season!
So sorry to hear you were ill with Shingles!! That is one of the worst!! Bill had them a couple of years ago and now because he is a cancer patient, he has to be on an anti-viral pill for the rest of his life. It was very painful and around his back and sides. But I know from my medical assist days that it is very serious in and on the head or near the eyes. I am glad the antibiotics are kicking in for you. Blessings to you Macooshla! Stay well for the Christmas holiday and coming New Year. Hugs, Kerrie
Glad you are on the mend. Sorry you missed your turkey dinner, but I'm happy to hear you will make up for it!
Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes, Micki!
So sorry to hear about your pain. I hope it never comes back now that it's gone.
Hugs.
I am so glad to hear that the pain has subsided somewhat for you, Micki. That nerve pain from the shingles is something you can never imagine - just horrid!!!!
We have our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow so I am busy prepping today.
best wishes for your health.
Angela
Hope that you will be fully recovered so you can enjoy Christmas also the build up to it as that can be as much fun as Christmas
Hugs Janice
Glad you're doing better. Pain is a terrible thing to live with. I've always wanted to check out pfaff machines but in Singapore it's only sold at 1 hard-to-find shop. So I gave up and bought a Janome.
I'm so sorry you have been so sick, I hear that shingles are one of the worse things to happen to anyone. Take some B vitamins as they help the nerves to heal. One of the things I have to be thankful for on this holiday is a good blogger friend like you. Thank you.
Glad you're doing better. I've heard that shingles is horrible, and DH and I got the shots last year. I enjoy your pictures of your horse and his friend and the countryside. So much beauty. Happy belated Thanksgiving, hope you get to have a great Christmas dinner to make up for the dinner you passed on. I agree that home is a cozy place to be when the weather outside is cold and blustery.
