| wish this was me today... but not! |
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving (tomorrow) as there will be no time once all the kids get in later.
Had a bad week last week with bp spiking again... but better now. Have Cardiologist appointment for another heart monitor scheduled (ugh!) Thought my B-12 injections had settled that problem, but I guess not.
Anyway, busy this morning making bourbon sweet potatoes, and our traditional Thanksgiving dessert (which is a combination chocolate and vanilla puddings with a pecan cookie crust, cream cheese, and cool whip). DH is smoking the turkey and the ham. Kids are bringing the stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, home-made sourdough bread, cranberry bites (not sure what that is - but daughter is bringing it as well as another dessert). We should also have bourbon pecan pie, apple caramel pie, and whatever else shows up.
We will be 9 or 10 around the table this year (would be 12 but oldest son and his wife are in Mission, TX and won't be in this year). Daughter is also bringing their Great Dane, Moose, as she found someone to watch the horses at their place, but no one to watch Moose. He has never been here before, but is a very well behaved dog... (although the feral cats out back won't like it).
No time for further blogging. Timers going off!
Wishing all of you a wonderful Happy Peaceful Thanksgiving!

The Moose photo makes me think they ARE bringing a horse! Have fun! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteHe is a big guy... not as big as some, but big. But he is a sweet dog, thinks he's a lap dog and loves to be with people.
DeleteI hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful. I am sure it will be delicious.
ReplyDeleteThanks, EC. Hope yours is wonderful too!
DeleteFrom Canada, Happy Thanksgiving Rian, to you and your entire family.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mae.
DeleteHave a happy Thanksgiving, one and all.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. You too!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Miss Merry!
DeleteRian, sorry about the BP spikes... will be waiting for better news. Happy Thanksgiving. 😊
ReplyDeleteHave an appointment for the monitor again. Will be fine. Thanks, Dug. Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you all! It will be amazing food and family time! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim. It was a good get-together...
DeleteI always look forward to seeing what you're up to for the holidays. I feel for the kitties, but I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. What a gorgeous critter!
ReplyDeleteThe kitties survived fine, DJan. To be honest, I don't think his being in the house bothered them at all. He doesn't bark (or hardly ever) and has a pretty quiet disposition.
Deletethe menu sounds wonderful...i hope you survived!! belated happy thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteI did 'survive', Debbie. It was actually fun having them all here (minus oldest son and DIL). Daughter took pics, so I may post some later.
Deletemany thanks for the kind comment today!!
DeleteThat all sounded wonderful, Rian. I hope you had a very wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours will be happening next Saturday. There will be 14 at our house. It will be nice to see everybody, but gosh... so much work.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, Kay. It's wonderful having everyone together, but yes, it's a lot of work... and I did it this year thinking it may not be long before I can't do it anymore. But maybe that's still a ways off...
