That makes me want to cook southern—maybe I’m remembering all those good fried chicken dinners my Mom used to make after church on Sunday. Whatever the reason we enjoyed a very good, not so good for us lunch with Nat today—I pan fried pork chops, made mashed potatoes and gravy plus we did have some healthy carrots and fruit salad.
I finished up the Christmas decorating today after giving the house a little sprucing—Gertrude helped me much to Emmi’s dismay!
Michael finished all the repair work on the little Tin Tee Pee and I spent the afternoon working on Christmas presents. It is hard to believe today was the first day of December! Jeane was kind enough yesterday to remind me there are only 3 weekends left before Christmas!! YIKES
We all took a walk this morning then Emmi and I repeated the hike this afternoon—it was a very cloudy stormy looking day but no moisture ever fell. Our forecast for the coming week is down right scary—high temperatures in the single digits!!!

My Mom always fixed fried chicken for Sunday dinner also. But I haven't fried a chicken in years and we usually grill pork chops. But your pork chops gravy makes me want to fry some. Yum. Your house is really looking good. Not sure when we'll get the little bit of decorating that we do done.
