Thanksgiving Eve

Tuesday we spent the day finishing up the kitchen counter top project—at least finished as much as we could so Thanksgiving dinner could be cooked and served.  Michael installed the sink while I grouted the marble tile he had installed while I was in Arkansas.  When the cowboy plumbs the air has a tendency to turn blue but this time everything went according to plan—no cursing.  The water at North Ranch is too chlorinated and he installed an extra cold water filter under the sink—a very good thing—I’m not fond of chlorinated coffee!  We still need to install the back splash but that will have to wait until after Thanksgiving and after our trip to Yuma for dental work. 
Today we made a trip to the grocery store—at 11am every checkout counter was open and the store was hopping.  Lunch was at our favorite Mexican food spot and then we headed home to the pooch.  The pooch is now wearing her Good Life No Bark Collar thanks to IdahoRV—it’s NOT a shock collar.  It has three modes—vibration/audible to only her/audible to Emmi and us.  Last season I ordered a shock collar.  The one and only time Emmi wore the collar was a supreme disaster and we returned the thing to Amazon.  She remembers that awful shock collar and when she got her first vibration yesterday while wearing the new vibration collar it was an instantaneous recall—she was afraid she was going to be shocked.  She is a smart dog—she barks at her ball or at someone coming to the door when not wearing the collar.  But when wearing the collar there was no howling when we went to the grocery store and out to lunch.  Could it be this easy????

We are so thankful for our families and friends—we wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.  We have friends coming for a late lunch—my mouth is watering all ready!

Flowergirl—yes, Chuck is the one who tried to die on us this past summer—he spent three months and one week in one hospital or another.  He is doing well—back to the humorous, joke cracking self we all love so much!

  2. We went into Fry's after swimming today and from the crowd in there it would have been a good time for burglars there was no one home, they were all in the grocery store. I'm with Mike when it comes to plumbing.

  5. Janna, if you don't mind would you share which clinic/doctor you see when you go to Yuma?
    I'm afraid I need several crowns and a few other teeth seen to. Who can afford what it cost here to get work done these days.

  7. We have a major plumbing project going on here... but the contractor doesn't speak English so for all I know he's out there swearing a blue streak in Spanish ;-) Thanksgiving isn't a big deal here... we're definitely in the minority (USA citizens)... the Mexican, the Canadians, and then the Americanos... No turkey for us.. I think the dinner we're going to is having chicken. Hope your turkey comes out of the oven just perfect and your day goes well! Happy Thanksgiving!

  8. Happy Thanksgiving. There are many at home projects I do not mind doing but plumbing is the one that makes me grit my teeth.

  10. Chlorinated water doesn't only have a bad taste, but is also extremely dangerous for your health. My long time friend in Australia who has had severe 24-hr. headaches for over 25 years, had the following experience. That was until he traveled to Vietnam where he could not drink the tap water and had to buy bottled water. The first day after arrival in Vietnam his headaches were gone. During his entire stay he had no headaches. After he got back home he took one glass of chlorinated tapwater (he lives in the tropics) and next morning his headache had returned. From there on he has never been drinking tapwater again and finally got rid of his headaches.
