THX 2009

Today we will be celebrating by eating that crazy 35 pound turkey who used to chase the kids on their bikes!


gobble,gobble.....

oh, a few of the Thankful items for me:
* wool sweaters---mmmmm. oh, both to wear in the chilly weather and to shrink and cut up!
* cute kids who are best friends to each other.
* honey who lets me really do whatever i want. sort of spoiled that way. {don't tell}
* confidence, couragiousness, and persistant attitude {that's me- maybe that is why the honey allows it all}
* friends to lighten your load
* crafts/hobbies/talents to share and endulge in
* reading books all snuggly in bed -by myself or with kids- i'm ok with either

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

- travel safe- eat well- and share it with others----

Did you bring the pumpkin pie?

I am not sure, but this Thanksgiving was just so so for me.
Was it the lumpy potatoes (i made them) or
the sort of burnt stuffing? not me.

Was is because the pies didn't turn out? -me again. Tried new recipes....didn't go over so great. Was it that no-one brought pumpkin pie for fear of having to many?
Was it a little on the dry side sweet potatoes- the crust was good though-
Was it that one brother and sister in law were away to Germany and Spain--my old stomping ground-- for some fun and left us behind?
Or the other brother who came for about 2 hours and then left because his wife was home with a little one with the sniffles?

This was the little monkey's table. Someone found a good use of the knifes and it wasn't cutting food with it.

So we still ate and snacked and watched and stuffed just the same.
It was enjoyable to go and see some family for a bit though.


Maybe we'll try harder next year.

HAPPY HAPPY TURKEY DAY

Just a happy thought towards Thanksgiving!!

We are heading out to my sisters tomarrow to gobble up the good food and the good company-no gobbling, just clucking there. :)

Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday.
Does anyone else feel like it is coming sooner each year? Is that why it's harder to get rid of the weight we just gained from eating too much the year before. Was it really a year ago?
