My secret is out! Being without DSL access all day forced me to actually accomplish things. Now I wonder how many times Todd will "accidentally break" the connection. Tee hee.
First I baked a punkin' pie this morning and added the finishing touches to a cheeseball that had to set overnight. After that I made "pink stuff" (that Cool Whip/cherry pie filling/pineapple/pecan concoction you know and love from dear ol' mom). And I just finished up "holiday roll" (an absolutely evil twisted-cinnamon bread the size of a pizza pan) which has to rise for 30 more minutes before I bake it. The turkey lurkey is almost thawed -- and it's beginning to look (and smell!) like Thanksgiving around here. We found out that Ryan and Chel didn't have anywhere to go tomorrow since their parents have other commitments, so they're coming over to feast with us now. I've got all of my Christmas china out, and the table is just about set, since I'll have more than enough to keep me busy in the morning. I'm so excited!
I want to wish everyone the happiest of Thanksgivings! For those who are travelling, have a very safe journey to and from -- and for those who are staying put, I hope your homes are filled with happiness, love and friendship. With everything that's happened this year, I think we're all just a little more thankful -- and grateful -- just to be able to celebrate together and appreciate all that we do have -- especially each other. Finally...it's almost the night of Christmas trees and pie! Enjoy the turkey, and please pass the gravy!
Have a great Thanksgiving guys!
