DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 55
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 29

Happy October TGIF! Today folks we move along and see that we have 55 days remaining until Thanksgiving and 29 days to go until November. We move along in our Awesome Autumn with our next milestone set to arrive in 5 days with the Final Fifty till Thanksgiving. It’s Friday folks so time for our Fun Fact Friday below!

The First Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Balloons are of extreme importance in the Macy’s Parade these days. However, the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade did not feature balloons at all! Instead, animals from the Central Park Zoo were included in the procession.

I don’t know if we ever had this on Fun Fact Friday. But I think one time we mentioned it somewhere. That’s hard to believe that they the animals. I think that would be so cool to see. What about having balloons and animals? Maybe that would be too crowded for a parade, but it would be a fun sight to see. I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your week. It’s Friday folks so let’s enjoy it and have fun. Turkey friends the best to you today. I hope you enjoy your TGIF and the weekend that is approaching. Have a great October TGIF!

I imagine the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade staff is pretty dang busy, right now. Won't be long...

My Thanksgiving is getting more complicated in a good way. Since my niece and her husband will be here I'm planning three main meals culminating in Thanksgiving. I have a spreadsheet broken down into the food for each meal and the ingredients I will need to get. I already have the meats and fish either in my freezer or set to deliver the Monday before Thanksgiving. Each meal will be plenty big for leftovers the next day.

There will be desserts available for the whole month of November. I hope I don't eat too much as I eat only fruit for dessert except for special occasions, but I do love desserts.

I've been organizing and cleaning my kitchen cabinets. Fortunately, I have a big kitchen with lots of storage. I made a trip to the church thrift shop this morning with things I no longer use and need. That gave me extra storage which will be filled up with things I only use during the holidays. Good excuse to deep clean my kitchen.
