Be safe out there. Happy Thanksgiving.
Hole, it's down to 30* at night, which is cold for us. I could never live in snow country!

Loverly, before you dig into that cheesecake, remember this:
Here's my family's Norman Rockwell moment, from 2007 or 2008, when I was still able to do most of the cooking, decorating, and hostess duties.
We once did this for 30 people.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am really thankful that I feel good without any pain in my bones. Ms. Chevy, thanks for those Eeyore pics. But when this Eeyore says " I am ok", Tigger would agree too. This is me in Peanut form. I love red and yellow colors.

Most beautiful Eeeeeeeeeeyore! My turkey is done...
So I had better take it out.... cover it with the lid, and wait until they get here....
That's when I'll slice it.... then heat up the other stuff, and warm the Hawaiian rolls....
Okay, so only Sass will believe this one....
See, my lower lip swells when I wear the partial now.... and it feels like hot pins in it! I researched this.... I must be allergic to the Acrylic stuff they use.... not the Titanium frame... I have a full upper plate, since 1978.... no problems.... but I think they use different stuff for a partial, to hold the titanium frame together???? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate)
It just damn figures! I was allergic to the plastic tubing on my hearing aids... AND the plastic frames on the prescription sun-glasses... Now THIS! They fit okay, just that my lip started having issues right away.... I think I will wear them at night, when my mouth is not moving as much.... I have medicated oil/cream to use, like on my hearing aid tubes.... maybe I will build up a tolerance to it, like I did my hearing aids.
I researched this...... and that's all I can figure out....
I am also extremely allergic to Epoxy.... and http://diagenics-co-uk.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/... I used this when I was treating Lacee's hot spots...
Have any one of you had these same problems with "plastic's or chemicals?

A clean counter can occur, depending on the help.

oh Teka, I love that Gollum sign!! That is just how I feel!

Eww, Mag. I guess GMO relatively is better.
Eeyore and Teka, always nice to see you popping in.
Mag, I thought I have a big family. I had to look closely at your family pic to make sure that was not a reflection from the wall mirror.
Ms. CHEVY, no good about your partial. I'm sorry. So, do you have Angelina Jolie's lips now?
Oh shoot! We forgot about Mommmy's birthday. It was yesterday.

for you ladies in snow country, is this your reality?
Hope everyone had a safe and sane holiday. Not everyone has thanksgiving, but hope you enjoyed your Thursday.
I worked on a quilt today, last one for Christmas. I could have gotten it done this weekend, but ran out of one of the fabrics. Ordered something else that will work and just need to wait for the mailman.
Happy birthday, Mommy!

Happy birthday, Mommy!
Teka, that is what Thanksgiving dinner was like for us today. People complain about cooking, but I think the worst part is putting away all the leftovers and doing all the dishes. We saved the pie for last, so we'd have a reward for the cleanup.
Spookie, the dogs here were on high alert today also. They may have had a bite or two of turkey passed to them, but you didn't hear that from me.
Loverly, I like the Peanuts Thanksgiving. I never saw that one before. I can believe a turkey chased you, the ones around here can be pretty mean. We gotta eat them before they eat us!
Goats, I can't decide if that is an owl disguised as a turkey, or a turkey disguised as an owl.
Mags, that is a huge gathering. My family used to do those big get togethers before I was born, but I've never been to one that had more than 8 people.
Eeyore, I like your Peanuts cartoon.
Chevy, I have never heard of anyone being allergic to plastic. It would just figure, wouldn't it? I hope you can build up a tolerance to it.
Smaarty, our snow is gone, and it has been raining all day instead.

Cubbie, we did that every year for thanksgiving and Christmas, every once in a while at my sister's house but mostly at mine since I always had more room. I think our largest was 30 in that house. But everyone has migrated to other places and now it's just us three... To eat all that food... Anyone have leftovers?

Chevy I wore soft contact lenses for years then developed an allergic reaction to the polymere they made the lenses out of. My eyes turned into red pieces of meat and under the lids it looked like cobble stones.. the opthamologist had to peel off the lenses. He was adamant not to use them again. I was so bummed since I could see better. But back to glasses and bifocals etc.. Oh well at least I can see.
Loved all the shared pictures. Happy Birthday Mom of 2.
Hope ya'll had a lovely Thanksgiving! We did. All the family here and DD2's boyfriend. We had 2/3 of everything vegan. Yum. Found this recipe on a site called Holy Cow Vegan for a carmel pecan apple cake. DH made it and it was fantastic, crazy moist and delicious. You would never think it was vegan. Wow everyone loved it and went back for seconds. Honestly I didn't miss turkey! Played Uno and SkipBo with the kids and yacked, took a short walk with the dogs. Nice to be together, even if we don't like to do the dishes. Actually I dont mind the dishes. It was sunny and cold and lovely.
Off to find the annual xmas tree tomorrow and bring it in all fresh smelling and lovely. They grow xmas trees like corn here and they are gorgeous and smell sooo good. Be well. Be warm.

Mommy, sorry I'm late in wishing you a Happy Birthday. Hope you had a great day.

Good morning ladies!
It sounds like everyone survived the holiday. I had a nice down day yesterday, made myself some turkey and few fixings, watched some movies, started on my Xmas cards last night. Today I have some home and biz things to do, but plan to get to the gym today and hope to walk outside if the weather permits (storm moving in). No black Friday shopping for me!
Mags- Yes, I do have some leftovers! Going to make some turkey noodle soup in the crock pot end of the weekend too! Oh and I love the "turkey disposal" pic and sharing that around with a few others. LOL!
Cubbie- there were people complaining about the cooking at your family dinner? Wow. The clean up for a group is always such a huge chore.
Blondie- how was your Thanksgiving girlfriend?
Rosevalley- sounds like you found a good web site to create a mostly vegan holiday experience. I have some friends who are vegan and came to a Thanksgiving holiday once long ago (and did not know they had made that change), so needless to say it was a difficult experience. They actually now live here, moved to my city 6 months ago, and we go out to eat periodically and have figured out to have a good dining experience together by choosing ahead something that will work. That dessert sounded absolutely yumm!
I hope everyone continues to enjoy their holiday weekend. Hugs to anyone working Black Friday or working today period. Be safe out there folks!

Morning gals! So fun yesterday..... but I couldn't sleep very well last night. Must have been all the excitement, or eating a little more than we usually do, Ha!
Sass, is that your counter-top? And Loverly, you too? Mine didn't look like that when they were put IN! Or maybe I just have too much "stuff?"
Those are beautiful anyway.... Maybe I will see if I can find a "place" for things I have on the tops!
When they built this house in 1886, there was no such thing as marble countertops... just wood & linoleum... I DID have another one put in but it was a laminate wood-grain, which is showing wear...
And my cupboards are just plain wood, which I have diligently painted several times over the years!
I even put different linoleum down one time... THEN I got those hard tiles, and laid THEM in! THOSE work much better. I could build another whole house, by just taking off layers....... HaaaaahHaaaaaaaah! Same with the walls!
Someone is 40? I have SHOES older than that? Along with my nylons and panty-hose.... and it was "Mom's" birthday? Happy BIRTHDAY you young whipper-snapper!
Yes... my fat lip.... But I put that partial in last night, put this cream mixture on my lip, that I make... & slept with them in.... I got up and rinsed my mouth with warm salt-water, and took them out.... so far so good! My lip doesn't get those "hot pins" in it, or itches!
I think the problem is that assuming I AM allergic to the Acrylic Resin, I will slowly break them in... and not eat with them yet, because you lick your lips when you eat! So if my tongue isn't in contact with them, like at night, my mouth and tongue will soon forget about the foreigner in there!
Same with getting used to my hearing-aid tubing... And forGET about wearing the prescription sunglasses... with that "plastic" stuff.
This is my "sun-room"...
Well, I WISH it was...
Love your picture Miss Smarty-pants! YES.... it is still snowing here... maybe about 8 inches ... but it is not fun.... Just glad we can stay IN........Have to go feed the Chickens and neighbor Cat later.. But at least they can stay "in" and stay sort of cozy...
Those neighbors finally put the light up above their nesting area, so that's where the girls stay.... They come pounding down their ramp when I take them their treats... but no eggs...Oh well.... the stores still sell them.
Cubbie... yes.... some people will find things they are allergic to.... I've KNOWN this, but didn't think about it.... also my upper plate was never a problem.... just this new modern stuff I think.....
I can't ever be around paint-stripper, bug-spray, and especially any form of epoxy! The fumes from all those will send me to the ER.... And then that Hot-Spot spray for dogs, AND tapes... but I can use paper-tape....
My Daughter's cat is another one..... SOME cats I can pet.... but not that one.... I even got allergic to my FISH! My arm would break out in welts when I would clean their tank!
Rosie! NNnnnnoooooooooooooo! Not you too! That is even worse! Are you allergic to different types of rubber or vinyl? Like in rubber gloves? They use this one chemical when they "vulcanize" rubber, and it is also in some Pet sprays... That is a bad one..... Glad you have an alternative! What about those implants for cataracts? That is also a type of plastic!!
Glad you had a nice dinner together.... We did too!
I forGOT to put the Green-bean casserole on the table!!!!! Can you believe it? Last year it was the cranberries! But they all ate some anyway.... like for dessert.... Hah!
It's 5 degrees out! Still snowing! This is not fun..... wind-chill is minus 7.
Oh well.... Spring is only 4 months away........

Spookers.... It warmed up to 15.... snowing a little... Just really COLD out!
Hah.... wouldn't want to travel anywhere in this weather.... I just love "home" too much.... I'm altering a pretty sweater right now. See, Matt, Janie's friend, cleans out houses, after they sell, and gets to keep everything that is left there.... He brings us all beautiful "stuff"....
Sweaters, new silk blouses, just EVERYthing... He sells a lot on e-bay, and has a shop in a second hand place...
Okay.... back to doing nothing....

OK Spookie we need a report of the temperature in Florida. It is pouring buckets of rain here and the temp is 39. No icing predicted though. PTL for something.
Loverly, Sassy - I only wish my counters looked like that. I still have dirty dishes in the sink which is about to get tackled. I washed so many clothes yest. I was afraid to run the dishwasher - I baby my septic system in this kind of rain. But it will get run in a bit.
Cute goats Jazzy. Love the blue eyes. Don't have any in my herd. Only in NM is Santa made of tumbleweeds.
Happy belated Birthday Mommy.

Mags, I love the turkey disposal! You could put a dog in there, too. Or me.
Rose, glad to hear your thanksgiving went so well. Enjoy your Christmas tree shopping. I've never had a real tree. We still have the same artificial tree my parents bought in 1976. It sheds almost as much as a real tree, and looks like something Charlie Brown would bring home, but it is a tradition.
Jazzy, are those tumbleweeds in that snowman? We didn't have complaining about cooking on Thanksgiving, we were just grumbling about the cleanup. I think that is the worst part of a holiday meal, particularly when gravy is involved.
Chevy, those giant flowers are a little scary. If you decide to decorate this way, make them a bit smaller, OK? Rose's story about the contact lenses reminds me that I am allergic to eye shadow. It makes the whites of my eyes turn bright red. Since my eyes are green, the effect is really bizarre. It took me and my opthamologist a while to figure out what was going on.
