Daily Notes- November 23

Thanksgiving was Bitterly Cold.

Our meal was "the very best ever" my husband and daughter declared.  Proving that one doesn't have to do much in order to produce a delicious meal.

We had a deli roasted turkey breast warmed up in the oven.  StoveTop stuffing.  Baked sweet potatoes.  Brussels sprouts roasted in the oven.  Mashed potatoes.  And gravy from two packets of Knorr turkey gravy mix.  I did make the pumpkin pie but we didn't touch it.  Our daughter made little jelly jar parfaits of Cool Whip and spice cookies with the addition of orange segments.  Very delicious.  There was also a sprinkling of tiny dark chocolate chips.  G liked them.  I did not.

We watched the movie Enchanted.  And then a Hallmark Movie about a harried wife wishing she wasn't married.  Enchanted was fun to watch. my daughter had a running commentary regarding the wardrobe of the female star.  And the 4 inch or more heels everyone was wearing. She agreed with me regarding the "kiss" at the end.  Always awkward and cringe-worthy.  My thoughts were that the men didn't have much practice kissing women or preferred not to kiss them.

This morning it's cold and sunny.  I have 9 more little felt envelopes to sew on to the felt square.  I'm going to refer to it as a square even though its hardly that.  Felt has a way of morphing into a trapezoid (which I think is the correct word)  Wider at the bottom than it is on top.  Hey--that sounds just like me.

No shopping for us today.  And it's so cold we won't be up in the garage attic trying to haul the 48 inch round wreaths down the stairs.  Supposedly the weather people say Saturday or Sunday will be warm with rain.  So, Saturday or Sunday we will wrangle the wreaths down and out.  We should have actually done this 8 to 10 days ago when it we only needed to be wearing heavy sweaters.

I hope all of you are happy and eager to dig into the Thanksgiving leftovers today.  I know I am. And now we Merrily roll into Christmas.
