We had our friends Jim and Jeannie, or is it Jeannie and Jim? Oh, well, enough PC for this blog... I cooked the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, Turkey, dressing, potatoes & turkey gravy, Yams, lightbread rolls, green salad, choice of dressing (but everybody chose blue cheese) asparagus, something that I dreamed up,which is a frozen fruit medley that you can get, which includes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and maybe something else good. Let it thaw almost completely then place in a bowl with heavy whipping cream. (not whipped) The cream becomes semi-solid, and it is delicious. Also the two pumpkin, and one apple pie, and coffee.
Nobody was able to eat pie. Haha! (evil grin) Pumpkin pie is wonderful for breakfast!
We visited, and visited, and visited. Moistly indoors, but from time to time we would adjourn to the deck where the three of them would feed their nicotine addiction, and I would just sit upwind, and visit.
Afterward, the three of them jumped in and cleaned the kitchen, while I sat back and said things like, "oh, you don't have to do that, No, really, I'll take care of that later, and gee, that's really nice of you, but you really don't have to." and other platitudes, while secretly being happy that they were, and I wasn't.
A couple of good things happened. While looking in the pile of boxes for my cook books, which I found, I found our misplaced digital camera. Yayyy! Now, if I can just find the cord, I'll download the pictures. I wanted to have it when we went to California for Mama's birthday, but it was still hiding in plain sight. Hmm, that reminds me, I have to get the photos developed from my big camera that I took with us. Hopefully the shots of me and two of my grand children whom I seldom see, turn out.
I have to install the cat door today. It will be good for the kitties to be able to come and go as they please. Hopefully the neighbor's cat, which hangs around doesn't know how to use one, and that skunks never learn.
