Here Birdie, birdie, birdie!

With the Turkey-Day heading in and only one get-ready day left, it's possible I may not find time for awhile to post! I'm heading out of town to Metro-West for the big day, currently the weather guys are predicting an inch or two of some a.m. white-fluff-stuff to drive through on the way. At least there's no High school football game I need to leave in the middle of. Good thing, because before I leave I need to cook up a few things, n I really hate not watching the second half.

The Northern Clan'll be gathering at my Bro's house, where there's enough room for everyone to eat sitting down. I'm sure the babies'll have a good time meeting their adult second-cousins again n getting a great deal of attention from all. It'll be good to see the folks we haven't seen for a year n a half, even though the Florida division n the Maine-deer-hunter will be making separate plans.

I'll really need to devote some heavy-duty time to food prep. I just hope I don't scorch the home-made rolls too badly, my biggest challenge of the day. What's slowing me down today is it's impossible to sort cranberries n use the keyboard the same time... Thanx BBM for the supply of fresh fruit to spice up the pie, bread, n muffins this week. I love cranberries. I worked on the bogs for nine seasons before I attended college full-time. That's when I learned how to be creative with them. MB already made the sauce to bring for dinner.

I'll be watching Ted Kopple's last NightLine after the news tonight. There goes another fav soothing news voice to miss at my day's end. For 26 years his nightly follow-ups n unique stories gave me alot of current insight into world events. I've posted about topics covered on that show many times. I hope he gets to enjoy some of his retirement. He's certainly earned it. Excellent job Ted!

Have ya ever taken turns going around the Thanksgiving table giving a reason you're thankful?

I'm thankful for many things:
another year of life, people n animals to love, a fun family, good friends, my talents and abilities still intact, good food for dinner, and I'm thankful I had the ambition to begin my blog this year... ect, ...!

Have a very good Gobble day!
