Twas the night before Thanksgiving...

16 years ago

And at our house Mom said "enough" and Dad said "gotcha". He fixed bacon burgers and homemade fries and a great salad. Beck's beer topped it off. We ate by the pool as it is 68 degrees here tonight ! Happy Thanksgiving to you all. What are you doing the night before...? c

Sounds yummy! We had leftovers. Had to make room in the fridge for the turkey day feast leftovers. : )

What a delightful rendition ...... ;-) It's been awhile since I've had a crowd in. Take Mario Batali's advice and wear Crock's, and my advice -- do as much ahead as possible. We had our low-keyed Christmas and our granddaughter's 18th birthday celebration in Tennessee. Left on Friday and got back last night to 13-inchs of snow, and wonderful neighbors who had our drive cleared by the time we got back. I think we'll be clearing their drive the rest of the winter to pay them back :-). Our son has the flu, so we'll hopefully see him for New Year's Day and hold off on Christmas Dinner until then. Since we'll be free on Christmas Day, we'll volunteer at the annual FREE Christmas Dinner a friend of my parents has done for the community for 30-years, and deliver meals to shut-ins. With all this snow, there is sure to be more requests for deliveries than normal. You just never know how things will turn out, do you :?) Merry Christmas everyone. -Grainlady

I can't help but laugh how people drive to a gym... to use a treadmill! And don't forget, "You ARE what you EAT!"

A newly wed ( 20 something) neighbor came over and she(we)baked a pumpkin mousse pie and we made the cranberry rosemary biscuits. she was measuring as we were chit chatting and didnt put enough baking powder in them! but they were tasty. We went out to grab a sandwich and a beer at the restaurant around the corner with our DHs. Most of our friends are young- people are age are too old for us. Sue
