Today marks the 61st anniversary of JFK’s assassination. Everyone always reflects back on where they were when they heard the news. I was in 7th grade study hall at Youngwood Junior High. The principal came on the intercom speaker to announce that ‘the President and the Governor of Texas has been shot.’ We were confused because we didn’t know that Texas had a president. No one really though JFK had been involved. What a sad day, and it was very sad and dramatic watching the recount on TV – and sad for Jackie and John-John and Caroline.
So as far as my day here at home. The first thing I did after I made my bed was to mix up the bread dough and set it to rising. It’s an all day process.
Then I got a shower and dressed warmly – it was cold, rainy and snowy all day with a bit of wind thrown in. I did a load of laundry, then mixed up pie dough cinnamon rolls. They are messy and take a long time from start to finish.
After they were baked and on the cooling racks, I determined that the roads were clear and safe enough to go out. I stopped at work to do a few small things so they wouldn’t have to wait until Monday. This memory popped up on my facebook feed:
Next I went to L&L Fleatique as I was looking for a vintage, fancy Christmas cookie plate, which I found. Stopped at Giant Eagle to get a small single-serving bottle of orange juice, so in the morning I can make orange drop cookies. In the meantime I finally got the bread into loaves and they are waiting to be baked. The cinnamon rolls are iced and waiting to be tucked into containers for the freezer. It will be tricky to keep finding room for all of this until the turkey and ham come out!
I am watching Once Upon a Holiday (with Paul Campbell), a movie that I particularly like!
My blessing today was just being safe and warm.
PEANUTS Thought for the day:
TOMORROW November 23rd is:
Eat a Cranberry Day; Family Volunteer Day; Labor Appreciation Day; National Adoption Day; National Magnet Day; National Cashew Day; National Espresso Day; Thankful for my Dog Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Purple day. Tomorrow: If I had a dog, I know I would be thankful for it! No cranberry’s for me. Cashews are ok. Have a great day – stay warm and safe! God bless…
