Saw the "life like" statues on a New York City building & I got a little homesick. Well, maybe it was more like sick to my stomach thinking of our statues at home.

Maybe one day I'll brave getting close to our hometown "life like" fountain statues and get a photo for you. Maybe.

Day After

Pumpkin cheesecake or a celery stick.

Decisions to decisions.

A lot of delicious food was consumed yesterday.

  Monday would be a good day to go back to normal eating habits.

Celery stick cuts the sweetness of the cheesecake !

Thanksgiving

My your day be filled with family, friends, good food and football.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving Day !!

Wordless Wednesday

Early Thanksgiving Dinner

We will be eating Thanksgiving dinner at friends on Thursday so I cooked a turkey dinner on Sunday . The turkey looked as good as it tasted. I read an on-line recipe to bake at 500 degrees for the first 30 minutes and then turn down to 350 degrees for the balance of cooking time. Once you like the color tent with foil.

I will roast the same next year.

My grandmother Lothridge's "Jewel Homemakers" bowl. Only time I use it is for mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Told Amie I would cry if it got broken  

She then gave me the scenario, if it was broken, would I want to be the one to break it or someone else. I didn't take me long to decide, someone else. I would forgive someone else but never myself.  Make sense?

How Starbucks Saved My Life

I always enjoy reading real life stories and this book was no exception. It was a quick read, two short evenings of reading. The book got mixed reviews at our book club meeting. One member didn't like the book because she didn't like Starbucks. How could she, they have the best brewed tea!! I don't want to give much away about the book because I would recommend reading How Starbucks Saved My Life. Also, Crystal, Michael's first boss at Starbucks needs to write her story.

Photoshoot

 Amie's college friend came for a weekend visit. Thankfully I had two willing photoshoot subjects.

I like the "golden" light of our late afternoon.

Thanks Carrie for being such a willing subject. We loved having you for the weekend. Come again!

Also, happy birthday on Sunday.

May you have a GREAT day and a wonderful year.
