My turkey is thawing in the fridge. I have a ham in the freezer but not fixing it for a few days after Thanksgiving. No need in crowding the fridge with two meats.
I have to make pies tomorrow even though I'm fighting a sinus cold. I want to say flu and it probably is but I'm trying to be optomistic.
It was Bethany's (Goo's) birthday yesterday. Went by her party at the Oasis and had a wonderful time with my baby. We were all there except for Tristany (Twitter). She was working.
Goo got lots of presents. She looked so tickled to have friends all around her. Wiley is good for her. They are so sweet together.
Zak is playing football in the other room, Randal is asleep on the couch. My girls are all home asleep except for Twitter who works nightshift with her guy Patrick. My parents are home probably asleep and the rest of my family...I don't know. I'm a nightbird so I'm up and at it. Finished writing 3 poems and fixing to edit my book "Autumn Bay". I won't finish editing but got to get to it.
My cousin Terrie is home but in the hospital by what I hear in Knoxville. I want to see her but with this FLU it's impossible. I went to see her the other day but they didn't want anyone to see her at that time so it was very sad for me. She didn't feel good. I guess I thought that I could bring a little smile to her face but that was my own selfishness thinking.
Off to edit and God bless our family and freinds and animals. Help us all and keep us safe. Thank you father. A-men, All-men

Thanksgiving is coming soon

It's Thanksgiving time in America and I am getting ready. I have my Butterball turkey, my fully cooked ham and my list of other goodies to make. I want to make this year a special year for the big dinner. I would love to invite someone or people who can't cook or who don't have family to share with. I will be thinking of such a person or persons.

I do have one already, our friend from Washington. He's in right now and staying through the holidays so that will be nice but I would like to find an elderly person or persons who have no extended family or family who can't come see them. Of course I will invite all my children. Usually all of them cook or have other family they go to like my parents and their in-laws but Momma's kitchen is open to them always without being said.

I talked to a lady the other day in the supermarket who gave me a most wonderful, simple recipe for Pumpkin pie.
She said to buy one of the big can's of pumpkin and two regular graham cracker pie crust. Cream cheese and a little cool-whip. She said to take the cream cheese (she didn't specify how much) and add a bit of powered sugar to it and a bit of cool-whip. I loved how she said bit's and some. lol Mix it together and lay a layer on the pie crust. Pour in some pumpkin pie then another layer of it then the rest of the pie. I'm pretty sure she said this and if not, just add the cream cheese mixture and then the pumpkin. It sound so easy. I will try it.
