Just getting back from the local grocery and it was a mad house of course...but the one thing I noticed was everyone was patient and smiling and just in a wonderful mood. I wish folks could act like this everyday! It is a sunny beautiful day here about 51F I looked at our 10 day forecast and no snow in the foreseeable future but I can live with that as long as the night are cold and they will be! so I better go tend to the turkey..oh and I also bought a ham...I think we are going to be sending everyone home tomrorrow with our food because I simply have bought too much! Well I will check back with yall soon!

I wish people were that kind to each other year round, too! The world would be a much better place! [emoji173]️

We're coming to your house for leftovers, ha! =]

That's too bad, maybe you'll still get out early. Fingers crossed!
Have a good lunch!!

Hope so, but doubtful! Everybody will be gone by 2:30 except me 'n the bosses! But then I only have another hour, so I think I'll survive! :lol: Hope you are having a great afternoon!

Thank you!
Well, it's not a beautiful song, but it reminds us of his sense of humor!

Still monitoring the office email for about another hour. Sure glad to be home today, 'cause I'm not feeling terribly well. I probably just need some rest. The rain is starting to turn over to snow. If I feel like it later, I will check over my light strings and string them on the tree. If I don't feel well, I may curl up with a Christmas movie.

Whatever you decide to do ~ feel better!!!

I heard from her via email---she's just busy busy busy.

I think they will … the rain has changed to snow here (we're in the MetroWest area) and it's starting to lay on the grass. Expecting 4 to 8 inches here, last I heard. It's unusual to have a snowy Thanksgiving here, in spite of Currier & Ives.

I'm glad CAH is ok, just busy!! Let her know we all wish her a Happy Thanksgiving ~ if you talk to her!
I will have to send my friend a text to see what kind of weather they are having!! Stay safe 'n warm! And again ~ feel better!!!

Good afternoon, everyone!

I'm back teaching today. I really don't like those days off! It's been an all right day thus far. Non-stop, really, though.

I hope everyone enjoyed the final Rudolph Day of the year. It's a more seasonal day in Ottawa today. No complaints for that. The snow has all melted in there is very little in our long range forecast, too. I'm sure it will return, eventually!

I purchased my plane ticket home today. I was worried that I would not be able to afford it and have to take the bus home. Thankfully, there was a sale of about $100 for the flight. I ended up paying $233. It's about $50 more than I wanted to spend, but a lot better than I could have spent. The bus would have saved me about $140. Still, I think it might be a little better to not be stuck on an overnight bus for 12 hours. The 4 1/2 hours of travel (including layovers) via plane is just a little better.

Well, I guess I should get to a few things. I have both the gym and hockey tonight. It's going to be a little busy. Hopefully I don't get too tired to skate. Oh, and I hope to still have some energy remaining for the pre-Thanksgiving party at the 'Pines tonight! Merry Christmas!

Glad to hear your day is going well! How awesome you were able to purchase a plane ticket home. That does sound much better than a bus. Have a great day Brent!

:lol: Now you sound like me ~ always too much food!!! I'm really trying to scale back this year (since it's for lunch & we all have another party for supper) it's hard! I'm sure yours will all be delicious & they will be happy to take home left overs!!! Have fun!

Oh my!!! I hope your travels home & all your travels tomorrow are uneventful!!! xx Stay safe! It almost looks like it could snow here though it was not predicted!
Mom & Dad were so bummed b/c they were calling for sun all day today & they were planning to make peanut brittle. Then they changed the forecast to cloudy all day (which it has been) & now they can't make peanut brittle. They were not happy! :lol: (Have to make peanut brittle on sunny days or it will be sticky!) :smile:

Have a good night, Brent!!!!

Stay safe everyone!!! Safe travels to all who are traveling!! Have a wonderful holiday!!!

So far so good, but I'm not done in the kitchen yet! :lol:

First let me say that on the food channel Bobby Flay makes everything look so easy for preparing a turkey...you all should have seen me single handedly try to message butter and salt and pepper under the skin of the turkey then wrestle it into the cooking bag. Well it's done now I just hope the skin turns out crispy almost like it was fried! My brother in law who is flying in tonight will fry my other turkey in the morning. Now I am just waiting for the turkey to get done then I will put in the stuffing in the oven. Then that is it until the am!!! I am soooo glad when I drive the expressways to the airport I don't have to flight snow like last year....I hope everyone who is traveling whether by car or plane is safe! I sure will be praying for everyone here!

Hi friends! Wanted to check in and say hi! In in my kitchen, watching the snow fall out the window and baking away! So far, I've baked cinnamon rolls and I'm about to put in blueberry muffins . I still have to make cookies, 2 pumpkin pies, a pumpkin roll. I ordered a cherry pie and a Dutch pie off a neighbor, so I a least already have that checked off! I'll check back in later to caught up!
