Good morning all you over-stuffed bunnies! So who was out there early this morning to take advantage of all those Black Friday deals? I would venture a guess and say NO ONE in this group, except maybe K2. She's an early shopper.
Not much going on around here today, so maybe we will get out some more of the Christmas stuff. One thing I know I WON"T be doing is any cooking. We have enough food here to last at least a week! Wednesday night I made a pasta dish. From our steak dinner we still have enough of everything for at least 2 more meals. Then when M&J arrived yesterday, they brought a whole smoked turkey that was given to Jimmy at the firehouse he was fixing a truck at. The want Bert to slice it and clean off the bones and will share it with us when they come over Sunday for turkey sandwiches. Like I said, I'm not going to have to cook for a week. That means our Grille time will be very limited too!
KC - Your sister is braver than me to get in a pool at that temperature. You sure she lives in Florida? I know our new next door neighbor will go in their pool, but heck, they're from up north and a 75 degree pool would be wonderful to them.
Dave - Neat idea making your own version of a TV dinner. Good for Kathi for doing that, but is there any dessert included on the tray?
We have a bunch of mardi gras beads that we've accumulated over time. Unbeknownst to us, Jennifer dug them out while they were here and decorated our Christmas tree with them, along with a couple of cheapo flower leis. It does look kind of cute. Maybe I'll just skip decorating it any further and place a sign on it that reads "Decorations by Jennifer"! She also picked some of these very tiny red flowers I have in the yard and made a bouquet for each of her parents. She wrapped the flowers in a little piece of a napkin. She's so creative!
People 2 doors away are getting a screen enclosure added to their house. The guys doing the work started hammering by 7:30 this morning. Now I have to listen to them cutting some aluminum pieces and drilling and screwing in connectors. Definitely not a quiet day at the homestead!
Seeing as how I have been awake since 4:30, I think it is definitely time for a cup of coffee. So I'm out of here for now. Have a wonderful day, everyone, and stay safe. The nuts are already on the roads and are doing lots of very stupid things.
