Turkey Day

I have been off-line some of the time, but Blogger has been deficient more of the time.

Anyway, turkey day was fantastic. It started off strong at 9 a.m. with my completing the gobble gobble gobble in the rain with a good crew from college (Gretch, Sandy, Brad, Mere, Melissa, and Dave). My mom and I then made a 16 pound turkey. By Thursday night, 14 pounds remained. Today, there are less than 10 pounds of turkey left.

It's a good thing I'm going through that turkey quickly. This Wednesday's book club meeting may result in our choosing the Omnivore's Dilemma as our next read. This month, we read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which I loved and recommend. At a minimum, the book makes you ask yourself, are those cute shoes really worth it?

Election Day

I am very anxious.

I had a great weekend. Packed, but good to see everyone.

Cloudy, yet Warm

I am so looking forward to this weekend. I know it will be great. I just hope that I don't catch another cold on the plane ride home.
