....I'm sure blogs all over cyberville are posting lists of things they are thankful for...my faith through the gift of Jesus, my family, shelter, etc....I'm sure we're all thankful in some degree for those things... This Thanksgiving Chris and I are very thankful for our new DIL, Heather. I'm not sure we could ask for a better match for our son Jeremy....tomorrow will be a great day. Turkey, taters & pie fixed by dearest MIL, ( yet another person I am very thankful for), I'm sporting a very easy peasy green bean casserole... yep, the kind plastered on every dried onion/ mushroom soup/ green bean can you can find this time of year... nothing new here. Christopher is jumping in with his tried and true "fruit whip"... so dubbed by his Uncle Josh.
1 can crushed pineapple
1 box pistachio pudding mix
1 tub of cool whip
1/2 cup walnuts
mixed the can of pineeapple with the pudding mix ( straight out of the box...) stir and then add cool whip and nuts... chill
... Jamie just called to check in and said he was going to Emily's to help her with the breads. Apparently Grammy Sue sparked something in her and she has been enjoying the gentle art of bread baking for the last couple of weeks. I'm sure they will come up with something just delicious. Last year for Christmas we gave Em a fondue pot and Jamie said the homemade bread dipped in the apple cheese fondue was about enough for him to ask her to marry him!
...Jeremy called and Heather is laboring over her first cheese ball( recipe compliments of Aunt Duke), and a broccoli casserole.
..Not sure what Josh will bring... he is solo this year as his current flame is in DC visiting her dad.
...12 rows complete on Jeremy's afghan...tomorrow int eh A.M. I'll start Emily's felted purse. It will be a portable project to do in the car on the ride to Raleigh.
....I think the nor'easter has about blown out of here. 3 inches of rain up here on the border with wind gusts to 45. The mighty oaks stood their ground.
.......When I was little I use to LOVE memorizing poems... here is the little prayer from age 6
.......Dear God for this abundant food ,and for your blessings rich and good.....
.........We have enjoyed the whole year through, our grateful hearts give thanks to you....
....so....make your favorite foods, stuff your faces, say a little prayer... and remember ... all good gifts are from HIM, and we thank Him for them...
................night night... sleep tight... don't le tthe bed bugs bite.....
