Good Morning, Quick in and out as I begin the last day of prep for tomorrow. One more store run. One more room to clean...the bathroom. One last swipe at the floors with the mop. Then I will start chopping and cutting for tomorrow's cooking marathon! Needless to say, the Day 27 of my 30...

HA! My final bit of housework today will be cleaning the bathroom and mopping the floors. After that they can look at the dust that is quickly collecting again! This is the dustiest house I have ever seen in my life! Probably because we live so close to the road. Whatever! I finally...

Your life is like mine......on repeat just about every day! But I can still find little things to be thankful for. And I know you can, too. You just don't record them! But they are in your heart! :heartpumppink:

Welcome! These last several days of November I am concentrating on thankfulness in my dailies. Today I found a prayer on the Pioneer Woman's site that I really liked. You don't have to be "religious" to be thankful! You don't have to be a church-goer to be thankful! It is our duty as God's...

Very true! I have never bought their pies, but Ilene swears by them, so I decided to spend the money instead of the time making them. I do like buying their pork loins and cutting them up into chops myself and freezing them in packs of 2.

Trust me...it wasn't by choice to do 2 turkey meals in 4 days of each other!

Welcome to Day 25! My mind is blown away that there are only 5 more days in November! And the fact that day after tomorrow is Thanksgiving! Boy! I have a lot to do yet to get ready for company! So, this will be another quickie! I do pray each and everyone of you have a wonderful...

Fortunately, Christmas for us will be in January. And it is usually at my daughter's house about 20 minutes from here....but I'll still be cooking!

Good morning, Quick in and out so I can get my 30 days done and get started on more house cleaning before Thursday gets here! Ilene and I went to COSTCO yesterday and I got 2 pumpkin pies and a pecan pie! The turkeys are in the fridge to thaw. I still have a few things at the grocery store to...

You know.....a pinecone gnome or reindeer would work, too, as the "bacon" Yes! 2 Thanksgiving dinners are going to be held here! It only started out as 1 because we thought the one for Sunday was going to be at Mark's daughter's house (trailer). And because it is on Sunday, we decided to...

So sorry J is going through so much trouble with her (?) knees! Poor pup! Those pinecone gnomes are too cute, but I do like the reindeer, for sure! Give thanks for the ILs money and don't think about how the BIL gets to spend his.....I'm thinking your "troubles" have made you stronger all the...

Oh! That is a great idea! And you have the catalog to mimic your baskets from! My SIL used to send us Swiss Colony stuff! Always loved receiving them!

Welcome! This is later than I like to post. The Thanksgiving holiday is messing with my time! ;). That's OK! I love Thanksgiving! It is a wonderful holiday that should make everyone slow down, enjoy family, and think about the blessings you have received throughout the year! Since I'm...

Good morning, Waiting on Ilene in the doctor's office then we're going to breakfast and then to Costco. Then I'll take her home and head back to the house to begin working on the house again for the company this week. And somewhere in there i need to drop the bank deposit. It's gonna be a...
