Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours! Mr. Handsome and I would like to wish all our American readers a blessed day celebrating with family and friends. We are thankful for all our readers from across the world.
Mr. Handsome and his brother were on potato peeling duty…
They accomplished the task, but not without a bit of a mess…

They look so alike is mr. Handsome on the right,he’s a scorpio like me by the way could I ask your starsign Ellie,it could very well become my favourite starsign
Ellie
They do look a lot alike, don’t they? Mr. Handsome is on the left. I just looked it up, and my horoscope is Aries. I’ll admit I don’t know much about horoscopes.

Mr. Handsome is like me, like to prop his right foot on something when standing. Thankful for you, Ellie and Mr. Handsome also… Jane

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you. I have to thank you for the wonderful information and pictures you told me about concerning Christmas at the Gaylord Hotel. Because of that, we are traveling for the first time to Nasville next week and we are staying st the Gaylord. I am so excited. Thank you. Do you have any restaurant recommendations?
Blessings, Barb
Ellie
Glad to hear that, Barb! Let me know how your trip goes. Do you like BBQ or hot chicken? Not super healthy, but they are both iconic to Nashville. Mission BBQ by the Gaylord is great. And there are several other restaurants in that mall, as well (including Claim Jumper, which is a chain, but it’s still good). There are a few locations of a local place called Jack’s BBQ throughout the city. And for hot chicken, Hattie B’s is the best, but it gets extremely crowded at meal times. What else are you planning on doing?
Ellie
Barb
Thank you for your great suggestions. We will definitely have to try the barbecue. We have tickets to the Vince Gill/Amy Grant Christmas Concert at the Ryman. Otherwise we will take in all the Christmas Lights, shop, and eat. We only will be there three days. Thank you again for all the information. Barb
Ellie
Sounds like fun. The Gaylord has great Christmas lights, as does a place called Cheekwood. There’s a fee for Cheekwood though ($5 per person). Cheekwood has a website you can check out if you’re interested.

I’m guessing this was at Mr Handsomests’ family home and it is typical messy behavior for those boys.
(The other Handsome there is just about as handsome as yours.)

Happy Thanksgiving back! I hope Mr Handsome goes Black Friday shopping with you Ellie. You need him to be your body guard, package carrier, go get it guy. I hope he can take orders! After all the input casn you share some of what you get?
Ellie
Lol! Sadly it wasn’t much of a Black Friday for me because I’m too late in my pregnancy to need more maternity clothes, but I can’t try on regular clothes. But I ended up finding some great deals on sweatpants and workout shorts for Mr H.

Hi Ellie,
Although I had heard of the Duggar and Bates families, I didn’t really follow any news on them until I stumbled across your blogs. Now I quite enjoy reading about them, and keeping current with their lives, as well as your own. I especially like your stories about Hawaii, as we spent several months there, and it brings back wonderful memories of our time there. I appreciate your blogs, and wonder if there is a PO Box or public address associated with them? If so, I’d like to send something small for your little one in appreciation for the enjoyment you have brought to me. Thanks!
Ellie
Hello there. Thanks for your comment. I’m glad to have you as a reader. Very neat that you lived in Hawaii. Such a beautiful place. That is so generous of you to want to send something to me! Unfortunately, I don’t have a PO box or any sort of public address. All I have a baby registry on BuyBuyBaby.
Ellie
Michelle
Oh, that’s sad! I originally tried to ask for the address on a previous post, but it said several times that the comment did not go through, so I apologize if I sent more than one request. If you do open a public address, please do let your readers know. I have a sweet little gift for your soon-to-come little man, but I do understand why you would not post any personal contact info! Praying for a safe delivery for you, and a wonderful Christmas!
Ellie
No worries, Michelle. It was very kind of you to ask. Thank you so much for your prayers! Hope you have a great Christmas as well.
