Happy Thanksgiving To All.


 Yesterday my son went out for an already cooked Turkey Breast from the grocery deli... for our after the big day meals...we also baked sweet  potatoes and a very very excellent Pumpkin Pie.  He used a very intricate pie dough recipe...new to me but it turned out spectacularly. I got to roll it out..crimp the edges.

We are doing all this cooking because we are having dinner down the street with the Twin's family today and wanted leftovers for the weekend etc. for ourselves.  We like Thanksgiving to last.....as we do the Christmas meals as well.  Leftovers are so fantastic.  We'll make the stove top stuffing and the gravy and mashed potatoes tomorrow.  Oh, I can't forget the green bean casserole.  We did this last year as well. We ate leftovers for DAYS.

Daughter has had MEN in her house for two days I think...one day taking her very very old furnace apart and carrying it up the stairs and out the door.... her house is tiny and they had to--I'm guessing "'chop" the thing up in moveable pieces....the new furnace is in and working and she thinks the house is 'too warm" at 57 degrees... The men figure the furnace was put in before they built the house.  Only way they could have gotten down into the basement in one piece.  They all used her bathroom...so..I feel her pain.

It's a dark and dreary day.   Sad too as this was my husband's favorite holiday. He liked turkey.

My tea needs more sugar and a re-heat....back in a minute or two.

Investigating my new computer I discovered a file holding images from years and years ago. I moved some of them to the picture file and deleted the rest.  Long time readers will recall the series of chair drawings...One  perhaps two fabric things.

I'm reading the Getaway Girl by Tessa Bailey..  favorite author. I found it on that last visit to the bookstore.. It's different and interesting. I need to turn on a few lamps- a very dark outside today. I think it rained overnight.  Have a wonderful day all of you......
