We had an unusually almost perfect Thanksgiving. My contributions were appetizers, the veggies (fresh green beans, corn) tossed salad with cranberries & walnuts, cranberry sauce, and potato peeling, and orchestration. House was cleaned before the day, table was set and glowing early. Dinner was excellent, dessert even better, family & company cheerful. Our team won the football game, after dinner games were fun, the traditional movie out, this year The Blindside was funny, inspiring and thought-provoking.
This weekend, finishing off the 2-3 Christmas gifts we need, thankfully no mall shopping necessary. Yesterday baby brother came over and made his Perfect Pancakes™ for a late breakfast for all. Then we went to see the completely gratuitous disaster flick 2012 which was also perfect for its gere - silly plot but incredible destruction special FX. Today hitting a sale at the hardware store to fix leaky bathroom faucet, and then a date with a book and an easy chair. Tomorrow a craft fair early, then maybe put up outside decorations. This week we shifted from fall 50's to winter 30's, and I'm feeling very much in a holiday mood.
