Happy Monday morning everyone,
Stopping in for a short visit here before I head off to gym class. Been a busy morning here. Up at a bit after 6, a load of wash through the washer and now in the dryer. Shopping list made up for somethings I need and also on sale, bowl of cereal and strawberries in the tummy, dogs pottied and pilled and hmmm, let's see, what else....
Irmi, since you are making so much food for two people, what times is dinner, I"ll be right over
Maybe some of the others will be along in line too. Glad to hear that your cleanup is almost over and now you are heading for your parents to help them out. Such energy and dedication. Our paretns took care of us our whole lives so far, so it's tme for us to return it to them. Mine are gone now, but the memories remain.
And yes, I too have been enjoying your posts Carolb. Starts my day laughing at all the ways you create words without a "yew". Very creative. If you ever get a "u" back someday, none of us will be able to read your posts
Gee, reading about mom's in the kitchen was so much fun. Our holiday dinners were always wrapped around whomever's turn it was to do the dinner that year, mom and my two aunts. So it was always busy and sometime confusing in the kitchen as the ladies worked, the men watched football and us kids amused ourselves. Was always noise, laughter and sometimes an ocassional arguement, the usual family holiday time. After moving up here, dinners were between us and my aunt next door, so we did some, she did some. But when things were just about ready, the potatoes needed mashing, the turkey was coming out etc., then things got really busy and mom was the kitchen boss. Lots of good memories from those years and I miss them. Think about how it was every year during the holidays. But it is apart of the cycle life and as we pass on, the children from the next generation carry on the traditions.
But I am so grateful for all of you on this forum, making my day, giving me info when I ask or need it and just being "friends". There are so many of you I would love to meet and hopefully will down the road. There seems to be imaginary "Thanksgiving Dinner" cropping up in Campfire I think it was and boy if it was real, what a feast we could have and what a great time could be had by all.
Well, enough talk of food for this morning. Now I really need to go to the gym and work it all off
Everyone have a wonderful day here.
Y'all have a great day today!
So now that the dog is settled again in his bed and the "Hubby" is up and somewhat awake, I'll go get a few ZZZZZZZ before starting my day...Am getting company today, but won't tell you who until later...I just love surprising you all... 
So between all of us, I think we'll each end up preparing something suitable for our families. 
Where are they???
He was scooping out the stuffing and all these pieces of paper were in the stuffing. My aunt started laughing and the three sisters all chocked, spit on their whine and were almost hysterical. In all their fun, they had put the stuffing in the turkey, but forgot to remove the packet of giblets, gizzard & neck along with the instructions. Then they looked at one of the aunts and asked what the chunks were in the gravy, if they weren't the giblets and neck meat. She rolled with laughter and thought her son had stole those prize pieces for his dog. Not wanting to rat out her son she used chicken bouillon cubes to make the stock and added various leftovers from the refrigerator as substitutions. It all tasted good anyway
