Happy Thanksgiving! & freebie

I imagine a lot of us are preparing for tomorrow's big meal and family and friends gathering to give thanks for our many blessings. Just wanted to quickly leave a note to thank my readers and give you a little Autumn Elegance zip that is Thanksgiving themed:

See you again on Saturday.

Turkey day prep and freebie

Imagine that most of you are busy with do-ahead Thanksgving preparations and, perhaps, guests. You will get to this post when you take a little break, right? We are keeping it simple this year as it is just the two of us. Dad doesn't eat turkey or the other items we are making so no point in putting aside goodies to take to him. Grandson, Tyler, got in from USC last night and it looks like we might see him tomorrow in time to watch the Redskins game with him. Like most young men, I'm sure he will find room for a little snack with us. I don't plan to post tomorrow, taking some time off from everyone except my husband, to reflect and be grateful for our blessings. Let me sincerely wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. For those who don't celebrate as we do in the US, I hope you will just take a day to be grateful for your blessings.

Here is today's installment of Fall In Love:
It was the most beautiful autumn she could remember.But then love makes everything look better, doesn't it? All seemed to be going right. He was settled in his new office and very happy to be working with troubled adolscents. Her classes were going well with most of her composition students in the A-B range and her fiction workshop included two students with serious potential. As for her own novel, after months of stagnation, she was again making good progress. Love gives you wings! she thought as she doodled a winged heart in the margins of her date book. And more and more both alluded to a shared future. Yes, her world was as sunny as the vase of sunflowers gracing her table.

Saturday -freebies for Fri & today

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I apologize for not getting a freebie up yesterday. Had thought I'd post after grand-daughter went to bed, but by then I was too tired and hurting too much to get to computer. Not long after dinner on Thanksgiving, my back went into spasms and the muscle relaxer I took didn't do much. We had promised to take grand-daughter, Larkin, to see the Trolls movie on Friday. I went as planned but it was a long boring thing to sit through. She enjoyed it, however. By the time we got home and had our evening meal of left-overs, I was pretty well done in. And Larkin started to have sniffles and sneezes at bedtime. Today she didn't feel good and I started her on a pediatric antihistamine and let her stay in pjs all day. She and hubby were disappointed to not be able to go to Bluegrass tonight. With all her hugging and in the face behavior, I just hope I don't come down with whatever she has.

Here is the zip that should have gone up yesterday:

Happy Thanksgiving & freebie

Scheduling ahead of time so when you read this it will be Thanksgiving. Hope you have a happy holiday with family and friends. In the midst of all the preparations and feasting, do take time to count your blessings and be grateful. Certainly a great day to devote a page in your journal to noting all you are grateful for.

Tired & freebie

If I wasn't so behind on cleaning, Thanksgiving preparations sure would be easier! The vacuuming is hard for me, setting off pains in neck, shoulders and hips. I'd almost rather clean bathrooms. Got about half of what I'd planned done yesterday so Wednesday morning means more cleaning. Hubby is planning to rest up during the day and do his share of cooking starting around 9:00 P.M. into next morning. He's been roasting the turkey for years now and making his special sweet potato casserole. And he will peel and cut potatoes for potato salad and chop vegetables, so he is a big help. I'd be looking forward to Friday when all is done and meals just mean re-heating. However, with Larkin here until late Saturday night, there won't be much rest for the weary. Gee, I wish I had her energy. On the other hand, the unconditional love she gives out is so uplifting.

Another trip to grocery, more cleaning, a freebie - whew!

What I thought would be a quick run was not. I'm getting fed up with the changes at the Neighborhood Walmart down the street. They did some remodeling and moved everything around. Added more "scan it and go" counters and I have to agree wit h my father on those. Sometimes it is convenient when the store is real busy and you only have a few items. However, it cuts out a cashier job and you have to scan and bag for yourself. Walmart saves money with this feature; you don't. Today they had only one regular cashier and I didn't want to mess with the self serve counter. I also do not appreciate the move of all the alcohol to the front. I don't have anything against drinking alcohol so long as it is in moderation. But I think this placement encourages people to pick up beer or wine when they might not otherwise. And it sends a message to children that alcohol must be important because it's just about the first thing you see. Also the little store was out of an item I especially wanted - Patti La Belle's sweet potato pies. They are so good! I usually make my own pumpkin pies, which have more spice than most store bought pies, but this year I don't want the extra chore. My husband and I love Patti's pie and since Dad likes sweet potato pie too, I decided she could help me eliminate one chore. Had to go to the nearest big Walmart where, thankfully, I was able to get the pies and a few other things I needed. Had planned to stop at Dollar tree on the way home to pick up some gift boxes but was too tired. It can wait for another day.

Today is zip 27 of Deco Dazzle:

To those who may not be enjoying this kit, hang in there. Other themes will come along and if you are hoping for something in particular, don't be shy about asking.

Oops! Some Aspects of Autumn - Thanksgiving freebies I forgot!

Aspects of Autumn - Thanksgiving Journal Page

Thought I'd share with you a couple of journal pages I made to add Thanksgiving photos to. Here is the first and, as always, it's personal use. I did not add the TOU to the folder on these because you already have all that information in the various zips.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just stopping in to wish you the best of holidays. Be sure you remind yourself of all you are grateful for. Hugs! P.S. Forgot a few AOA _ thans things so come back tomorrow.

Almost ready!

The house smells good! Pumpkin pie is in the oven. With lots of help from dear husband, all that could be made ahead has: deviled eggs, 2 kinds of potato salad, my friend Jennifer's cranberry relish. He will put the turkey in on slow cook in the morning and go pick up a box of fresh baked rolls. I'll make stuffing, butter beans and corn (since Dad and June can't have leafy green veggies), gravy, put out some Red Eye country ham for Dad, and pickles and olives. Simple over all but it's still a feast to us and we will all enjoy the leftovers for days. Then the scraps will go into a delicious turkey potpie. I've done about all the cleaning I can manage and it will be fine for tomorrow. More to do after the holiday to get ready for Christmas but I'll get some help from my husband who will be on vacation prior to retirement. All told, I think this year is going to end well. I hope you all haven't worn yourselves out too much and will be able to enjoy your dinner with family and friends, then take a couple days to recover. Skip the Black Friday sales (except on-line); it's just not worth it. Hugs!
