gobble, gobble, gobble!

I don't know about your Turkey day, but ours was great! We went apple picking; who knew that this was the last weekend of apple picking? I guess there really is a season, afterall - they were kinda 'picked' over, as it were. So really, it was just a nice walk with three dogs and lots o'family. But not Warren. He stayed home to baste.

And that brings us to the feast! TaDaDa DAAAAAA!

Big dinner at our house; seems to me that it took all four of us to get everything prepared and table set, and dust bunnies vacuumed up! AND it was my first foray into the world of Brining. It's the only way to go. Especially if you have an extra 24 hours to prepare your feast!!!! And don't we all? But i will be planning for it from now on - best turkey e-v-e-r!

Now. Do you know what else Thanksgiving is? It's just 74 days away from Christmas! Yes it is!

Don't groan! Oh, was that your residual "man, i should have pushed myself away from the table one turkey leg ago" groan? Sorry. Groan away.

BUT - Santa's on his way - and ... that ... means ... you really gotta start knitting those gifts! Maybe even a stocking - i'm working on a Christmas stocking right now that is breathtaking!!!!! How about a chunky scarf in a really simple pattern? You still have time to make a sweater for your loved ones (or start it again, as in my case! - tension. REEEAAALLLLYYY important. 'nuff said)

Christmas morning without hand knit gifts - now, that something to groan about!
