Here we go! The best week of the year! I felt the magic big time over the weekend, and it’s growing stronger today! I don’t even mind that I’ve got to work…I’m sure everyone else in the office is feeling that magic too. It should be a very productive day.
Can't believe we are the week of Thanksgiving!!
We had a place that made homemade chicken noodle soup with tiny dumplings in it.
Only a few days to go. I see some squash found its way into the house and sweet taters..
Me either!
Woohoo!
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 2
Happy Thanksgiving Eve Eve! Today folks we move along on this Tuesday and see that our countdown is down to 2 lonely days. That is when our final milestone and destination happens on Thursday with the arrival of THE DAY: Thanksgiving. Unbelievable. We move along in our Awesome Autumn with today being Picture Day on this Tuesday as it always is. And this is the FINAL PICTURE DAY of this entire thread my friends. No, I have not started any work on the new thread as I give my full dedication here. But I will be working on it a bit Thanksgiving Eve/Day like last year but it’s not a lot since really, I think we found our groove this year more than any year with our 5 big daily weekday topics. Turkey friends for the final time in this thread please post your Pictures of Fall/Thanksgiving. Give it all you got for the final time but don’t worry or be sad as Picture Tuesday is being renewed for the 2025 Thanksgiving Thread. There I just officially announced that there will be one (was there any doubt?). Still my favorite thread to do as I still believe Halloween and Christmas get so much more build than Thanksgiving. And I’m here with all of you to help give Thanksgiving what it deserves. Gobble Gobble and I’ll be back later to post. Have a great Thanksgiving Eve Eve!

Sickness has struck my family right before Thanksgiving! I am still ok this morning with no symptoms.
My brother in law is in the hospital right now, he was admitted yesterday for bacterial pneumonia. Holly and her sisters are all sick with what I assume is maybe a weaker strain of the same thing. They went to the family doctor yesterday and tested negative for all the COVIDs, Strep Throat, and Flu. It will be a waiting game with seeing if it turns into pneumonia. If she develops a fever, she just needs to call the family practice back and they will prescribe her antibiotics.
Holly actually seems better this morning - she has been sick for the past 3 days. We MAY still be able to have a big family Thanksgiving on Thursday if everyone is much better and my bro in law is discharged, but If not, we have a contingency plan to have "Our Little Thanksgiving" here at home with just me and Holly and Abigale and the dogs. Rest assured, Turkey day will still occur!
Have a great day!

Hope everyone is better soon! My daughter was sick a couple of weeks ago and her Dr said that in all her years of practicing she has not seen so much pneumonia as this year.
I have heard horror stories about PTO and how people are allowed/not allowed to use it and I truly feel bad for employees who work in that type of environment. And I know that I may sound a bit harsh, but I have co-workers who wear it like a badge and want to make sure we all know how devoted they are by coming no matter how sick they are. Our employer does not promote the work until you drop mentality so I feel this is attention they are seeking for being a "great" employee. I know that I offended one co-worker last year when I sanitized the copy machine after she used it even though she had told me, in great detail, how sick she was. But I know that I am very fortuante, one of my bosses sends pictures company wide when he takes a day off to go on fieldtrips with his kids.
Fingers crossed that you stay healthy and that Holly, her sisters, and BIL all feel better soon.
I can't believe that I missed checking in here yesterday. I had a grocery pick up and then made a stop at DollarTree and when I went to leave my car would not start, it was stuck in accessory mode and alerts and beeps were going off for multiple things. I was lucky, they think it was multiple glitches due to a the car battery being very low and since it is still under warranty I automatically got a new one- I have only had it for a year and it has 12,000 miles on it so my mind jumped to something worse. I still got home much later than I had hoped and then I got a call from my niece, her son was missing his retainers and they were pretty sure he lost them at our extended family Thanksgiving, so I had to go to the rental hall and go through the trash and bring the bad from Sunday home and go through it. I found the retainers but I pretty much took a shower and headed straight to bed! So long story short, 0 weeks! Gobble, gobble!
I made on dessert and my cranberry sauce today. Turducken, turkey breast, and ham are thawing out in the refrigerators. Tomorrow, bright & early I'll make lobster mac & cheese. My niece will come over in the afternoon and we'll make all the sides. She said her husband wants to come, too, and he is a good prep person so we'll have three in the kitchen. I'm glad I have a huge kitchen. I'm sure Ace will be under foot so it's a real obstacle course for me with my limitations. LOL
Hopefully I didn't spread my germs from last year Thanksgiving!
It's a busy time!
Sad about the sickness. I hope Holly is better quickly as well as your BIL. Praying you and Abigale don't get sick.
