Another Thanksgiving for the tape books...not that anyone is keeping whatsoever records. Our Thanksgiving is ane for the tape books if you're keeping rail of the release of muddy dishes, pots, pans, in addition to spectacles even thus waiting inward draw of piece of employment for their plow inward the dishwasher. Mike did a entitle essay cleaning upwards final night, but the countertops are even thus stacked high. I'll larn later on it this forenoon at some point, but people are even thus sleeping.
Only ane motion-picture demo was taken of our meal...this one:
Moving diagonally from correct to left, that's whole cranberry sauce. Next to that a greenish edible bean casserole on the monastic tell of the Campbell's soup variety, alone this ane is made from scratch. Above that, stuffing from the bird, in addition to a platter of turkey, both fried in addition to smoked. Above that mashed potatoes in addition to Brussels sprouts. Above that in addition to barely making the picture, sweetness potatoes. Oh yes, in addition to in that place are some jellied cranberries in that place too, because everyone knows it only isn't Thanksgiving without them. I regret non taking a motion-picture demo of Mae's beautiful desserts. She made an apple tree tart alongside a phyllo dough crust. It was delicious. Also, she made a pumpkin cheesecake that was to operate for. It all went off without a hitch.
Before anything got started yesterday, I started stitching Block #8 of the Appalachian Memories quilt. I similar to start these where the quilt block is. The greatest business office of the stitching is contained inward this starting fourth dimension hooping, in addition to thus when this business office is finished, the block volition endure nearly finished.
Still a long means to larn on that.
It was a chilly 24-hour interval yesterday, but vivid in addition to sunny. We discovered nosotros had 2 big jugs of Kahlua, in addition to thus nosotros declared a Castilian java emergency. I was hesitant, thinking it powerfulness brand me desire to receive got a nap on a 24-hour interval when I could sick afford napping. But in addition to then it sounded thus appealing that I had to imbibe. And all was well...the java kept me alarm in addition to energized.
The photographic idiot box camera got lilliputian usage yesterday...just also busy alongside other things. The kitties spent nigh of their fourth dimension inward the clubhouse since kitties loathe parties, noise, in addition to lots of feet. Smitty joined us roughly dinner time, in addition to they got their traditional chopped upwards turkey giblets.
We've seen a mixed handbag alongside kitties in addition to turkey giblets. One of our cats, Willy, loved Thanksgiving to a greater extent than than anything else. He was my constant companion on Thanksgiving day, only waiting for that wonderful minute when his plate of giblets was gear upwards down. Here's a motion-picture demo of Willy. He liked to sit down behind me in addition to nuzzle my hair.
When he was a kitten, he ate thus many giblets, he couldn't walk. His lilliputian kitten belly got thus total he brutal over alongside every step, similar a drunken sailor. And I swear in that place was no alcohol inward the giblets. Fast forrad to this electrical flow cadre of critical cats (awesome alliteration), in addition to you'll uncovering 2 who plow upwards their noses at turkey giblets. No matter. I produce 'em upwards in addition to serve 'em upwards every Thanksgiving. There's value inward tradition.
Okay, thus today I'll larn dorsum to cleaning upwards the mess, in addition to and then larn dorsum to the Hearts A-Plenty. Last seen, nine blocks were sewn together...three to go.
Also this weekend, we'll endure setting upwards the sawhorse tables for sandwiching quilts. If Hearts A-Plenty is finished, I'll receive got 4 quilts to sandwich. My goal is to quilt in addition to complete Semper Fi earlier Christmas. It's a tall order, but I'm pretty certain I tin larn it done.
