It's finally here ... Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of my wonderful readers who help me get up every morning so I can write about some silly thing that happened. I appreciate you more than you know for helping me keep in touch with the world outside my four walls.
Now ..... FINALLY ..... we can concentrate on Christmas!!! Just kidding ... we've got Black Friday tomorrow, just in time to cause havoc at your local stores. Around here it won't be bad because we don't have many local stores any more. Thanks to being locked down, they all closed up and went away.
The best we have to offer is Kohls and Hobby Lobby. Oh ... and Walmart. It's okay though, because this is me after Thanksgiving. I'm so miserably full, I never can see how anyone could get up at 4:00 and park themselves outside the door to get that $100 television. It is rather weird that I haven't seen ANY of those advertisements on television this year. No Elmo, no cabbage patch doll, no robot or even a stuffed unicorn. What's up with that?
So this was me after I cooked that turkey, and again yesterday after I made turkey soup. It was so awful I threw it all away. Besides that, it gave me a terrible stomach ache and I've no idea why. I'll stick to leftover mashed potatoes and gravy today.
I spent all of yesterday hiding out inside while the painters worked around the entire house. I'm so very thankful for this two day holiday so I can relax, not get dressed up and fix my hair because they just might be looking through the windows. At long last all the "top" work is done and they only have windows to paint. YAY! I can wear my old tattered robe around the house ALL DAY!!
While being locked up, I finished the borders on this quilt. Oops ... I forgot to make the patterns match on the top. Oh well ... you should always make at least one mistake in a quilt because only God can make things that are perfect. Top left corner. I'll get a feather to hang over it.
Watch the price of turkeys drop for black Friday now is the time to buy your Turkey for Christmas 🦃
ReplyDeleteOh WOW .... THAT is a GREAT idea!!! I never would have thought of that! Thank you!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving, hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you ... give your pups a pet for me!!
DeleteAs Maxwell Smart use to say, "Missed it by that much!"
ReplyDeleteTossed out all that soup??? I'll be Mr. Fox would have helped consume it for you.
Yeah ... I think there was something bad about it. I got pretty sick.
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Thanks for giving us a chuckle every day. I have generally found if you don’t like something the first time you taste it, it doesn’t matter what you do, you won’t like it any better the next 5 times you try to choke it down. Lol

True statement Deb ...
DeleteThat is absolutely the nicest quilt you've ever shown. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
DeleteLove the quilt, wouldn't have noticed the error at all, had you not mentioned it. 😉
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! Too bad about the turkey.
It's true ... most people don't notice the spots we cringe at! LOL.
DeleteLove the quilt. I see my Xmas present. Happy Thanksgiving to you and enjoy your day. Guess what I'm having for dinner. Rotisserie chicken of course:)
ReplyDeleteNow that is a smart idea Doug .... rotisserie chicken and you don't have to cook!!!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteThank you so much ... and Happy thanksgiving to you and yours!!!
DeleteThanks for the Happy Thanksgiving. Darn, I had to eat crab and my brother knows how to cook it so it's nice and sweet. :O)

Oh man .... I'm SO jealous!! I think there's not much better than fresh crab!
DeleteGolly, I think that turkey was sick! Happy you survived.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others..... thank you for entertaining and sharing life with us. Are you going to do another
turkey at Christmas? Maybe a nice prime rib.
We always enjoy your posts !!

Thank you so much Linda!! Oh I think I'm worse at prime rib cooking than I am turkey. And yes, I think the turkey (even though frozen) was a little spoiled. I'm thinking roast chicken next time! LOL
DeleteLove your quilt and I wouldn't have noticed the corner either. You have helped me decide what kind of turkey to buy for Christmas. Happy belated Thanksgiving day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Loree ... I do like the Black Friday turkey idea. A Butterball would be cheaper!!
