(no subject)

Monday I made a run to the store to check the meat sales; picked up a couple nice packages of pork so for supper I made soup braised pork with rice for supper.  Tuesday while Leofwyna was gone to work I made cherry cola salad and a coconut-oatmeal pie for our T-day feast.  All day Wednesday I was up and down with the turkey, dressing and gravy prep and all came out timed perfectly for Leofwyna's wake up so we had our traditional favorites for a Thanksgiving supper Wednesday night.  I also steamed my brussel sprouts (the last garden harvest) to include in our special meal.  So my Thanksgiving day was spent back with my genealogy search and Leofwyna headed off to work.

I am thankful for my sister (partner, best friend), our nice home and all the contents therein, my health and all our good friends.  I'm thankful my car is still functioning and that the kitchen is complete for cooking in.  I'm thankful the renovation is behind us.  A caller the other day trying to sell renovations, siding or replacement windows asked in exasperation when I thwarted her presentations, "What changes do you plan for in the future?"  I answered that my hope was I wouldn't need to do anything further as long as I live here.  This, however, is a wee bit unrealistic as no doubt the a/c will need to be replaced in the next year or two.
