Had lunch straight up 12...hahahahaha!! That's a first :D
Our full Thanksgiving meal was as follows:
*Smoked Turkey with Cranberry Sauce
*Grilled Shrimp Skewers
*Chicken n' Dressing with Giblet Gravy
*Green Bean Casserole
*Homemade Loaded Smashed Potatoes
*Fresh Grilled Rosemary Pineapple
*Frito Salad
*Rosemary Salted Rolls
*Pistachio Salad
*Sweet Potato Pie
*Fresh-Brewed Rosemary Peach Tea
WOW!!! I ate a little of everything and lemme tell ya......it was DELICIOUS!!!
Those present for Thanksgiving 2010 were Me, Grace, Mom, Dad, Donna, Megan, Trey, Makalin, & Chloe. Not many of us, but we had a blast. After the meal was done, no one wanted to leave the table, so we just sat around nibbling while we talked. After a while, Grace had to go take care of the dogs where she works, so her and dad left. The rest of us stayed at the table, nibbling and talking. I think I drank 1/2 gallon of the tea. Makalin was copying everyone at the table, so she was eating out of the serving bowls with the rest of us.
Makalin finally talked me into getting up and going outside. She headed up the hill to the store for an icee. I told her to come back, we had to go get some money. We got the money, picked up Grace and Jesse for the walk, and all four of us went to the store. Came back and sat on the porch. Nice and breezy afternoon :)
Now Grace and I are in for the night, on the computers and watching NCIS. It's about time. We got some girl time for a few nights while Ronald is away. But don't bother us....we are well armed.
I AM EXHAUSTED!! Didn't think I'd last this long....but I did. I woke up dreading today because days like today wear me out. But I did pretty good. My chest is hurting now, but maybe if I rest I'll be fine.
Ooohhhhhh!!! I feel a cold-front coming in. The cat veranda door just flew open from the wind. YEP!! Definitely a cold front! And it was so warm an hour ago. 80 today - 31 tonight - 54 tomorrow. Bbrrrrrrr!!
Just popped a pepper. Been wanting one all day long.

It's Thanksgiving Day, so what better time to meditate on what you are thankful for. For one, I'm thankful that I have my daughter for Thanksgiving this year. Last year she was in BCT. She also missed her birthday last year. Needless to say, I was a wreck last year. Not so this year.
I am stressed beyond belief this year, due to some selfish people in my life, and some spiteful, hateful trouble-makers that I once thought were friends. Maybe the TRUTH hurts just a little too much for them. And also due to a life or death health decision I guess I will have to make before too long. Oh well!
I still have lots to be thankful for. My daughter being the most important. She's my life.....always has been.
Also, I have two of my three sisters nearby. Me, Grace, Donna, Megan, and Mom need to do a girls day out, or night out. We'll leave Makalin and Chloe with the guys....hehehehe!!!
I still have my mom and dad.
I have a niece (Makalin) that thinks the sun rises and sets in her Nay Nay (me). It's nice to be loved and wanted like that. I tell her mom all the time, "What happens at Nay Nay's....stays at Nay Nay's"!
I'm thankful there are godly people out there that DO NOT believe the lies being spread by ungodly people.
I'm thankful I can bless others through playing the piano. And I'm thankful my daughter can spread the 'good news' with her voice.
WOOHOO!!! Just learned Saints WON!!!!! I'm thankful for that :D
Everyone has major things they are thankful for....and I've listed some of those. But I am also thankful for things like technology, iPhones, fuzzy blankets and hot cider on cold nights, Dr. Pepper....oh and my cats (Solymon, Smokey, Oliver, & Shadow).
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Gotta get off here. I think Grace is waiting on me to finish so we can watch "Sound of Music".
OK!! After putting three different movies on, we finally settled on "Flight Plan" with Jodi Foster in it. :)
I will leave you with a picture from yesterday......fallen peach tree leaves. I thought they were pretty....and so did Makalin :)
