Thanksgiving

We are getting excited. And we are running pillar to post. Thanksgiving is almost here!

Todd is coming in tonight (assuming all goes well in the friendly skies) and tomorrow is billed as the Best Meal of the Year so we are under pressure to perform. So far the 'orange stuff' (don't ask - odd recipe I picked up years ago without a name but with great appeal) is made, the pecan pie is out of the oven, the cheesecake is IN the oven, the other pie crusts (for pumpkin pie) are 'resting' in the refrigerator and soon I need to start the rolls. And cook the sausage etc. for the stuffing...

Trouble is, the other half of our house windows (including the kitchen window) are being installed today. Bit of a complication there. This means that we had to take down blinds and curtains and brackets, and, of course, will have to put them up again when our 'workers' are done. It also means the cats are locked up in the bedroom and already getting peevish, and the squirrels are wondering why peanuts aren't being hurled out the back door every 10 minutes.

And to add to the pressure, when we went shopping for all this food last night, the store was out of our preferred brand of turkey.

The good news is that Mark and I are both home and that means it is all going to be OK. Better than OK!

From our house to yours - have a very Happy Thanksgiving Day!
