Mama I hope you are feeling better.

Thank you Janie - our weather is so screwy and everyone is sick. After a while you just get used to it!

So home is the bunny doing? and that poor abused dog?

Have you decided what you are doing for turkey day yet?

Pooh is old and arthritic just like his owners lol. Spike is forever trying to breed the dog.

I bought two fifteen pound turkeys on sale at Walmart a few days ago for .74 a pound. I am planning to make one for my brother's Thanksgiving and the other for a small Thanksgiving dinner with Jon's Daddy. Right now I have them stored in my father in laws deep freezer. I bought a little over three pounds of new york strip steaks that were on sale for $4.99 a pound. They are in the freezer now. I have six nice steaks I plan to use for Jon and I to do a surf and turf type thing on Thanksgiving. I have a couple pounds of large shrimp in the freezer already. Pair that with a nice loaded baked potato, salad and nice dessert and call it Thanksgiving for two. It has gotten about impossible to find a frozen duck around here like I had been doing for Thanksgiving. I spoke with the guy in the meat department at Walmart and he said they just do not get them anymore. I got one last year at Kroger but I just didn't want to hassle with trying to chase one down this year. I only get to Kroger once every couple of months anyway. Maybe I can find one for Christmas.

As far as I know Jon's Dad goes to his other son's for Thanksgiving. I do a Sunday supper Thanksgiving thing with him the Sunday before that. Jon and I stay home and do our own thing on Thanksgiving. Christmas will be pizzas my father in laws like last year unless he changes his mind. If he does he better be prepared to cook it lol. I always make a special Christmas dinner for Jon and I to have here late Christmas Day since his Dad always does things around 1pm.

Sounds like you are getting it all together. You deserve the quiet time with Jon - after all the cooking you have been doing - you need a rest.

Too bad you can't find a frozen duck. We've got tons of them up here.

I don't know what our plans are for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Wife and I both would like something simple. But the kids always expect something special. I keep wondering when they gonna grow up. Dang the baby is 43 years old. I need to quit thinking like that and just count my blessings.
Janie, you are awesome. All the planning and always thinking of others. And the animals.
Mama, pleased to see you are out and about some. Wishing just for you some fresh baked bread. CF:)
