Thanksgiving Preparations

When we went for a walk this morning I said it sure would be great when we take off for Florida because then maybe I could have some new material to photograph!  Not only did Emmi need an anchor on our morning walk but so did we—the wind was howling, pushing us around.  And our temps are unseasonably warm—52 degrees today!  Quite the change from last Thanksgiving when our weather was treacherous—3 feet of snow, below zero temps and high winds!

Michael changed the oil in the jeep and truck today.  After he finished that project he pulled the motorhome forward to the shop, put it up on blocks and removed the heater booster pump that died on our way through Texas last winter.   He is such a handy husband to have around! 

I spent the day cleaning house and prepping for our Thanksgiving feast.  Pre-made the sweet potatoes and part of the stuffing recipe.  Got all the china, silver and crystal out, didn’t have to do too much polishing.  And ironed the tablecloth.  Tomorrow I should not have much to do—put the turkey in the oven, finish the stuffing and make mashed potatoes.  I’m ready!

Emmi and I got in a couple games of soccer today—due to the higher temps our yard and driveway are muddy messes and so is the dog when we are finished playing soccer!

I feel much better today and have eaten regular food so I guess my little bout is over—thank goodness—just in time for the Thanksgiving feast!
