I was wide awake at 10 til 5 this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I guess I was rehearsing all my chores in my mind so I wouldn’t forget anything. Now watch – when I HAVE to get up at 4:30 to stuff the turkey I will have to throw myself out of bed!
Things went well today as far as prepping. After breakfast I started by putting the turkey in cold water to finish thawing. Then I put the eggs on to boil for deviled eggs. Once that was done, I mixed up the brownies. While they were baking I cleaned up the kitchen and moved a few packages of frozen corn from the freezer to the fridge.
I made a pitcher of iced tea, because Sherree likes tea with the meal. Also kept checking on the ham to be sure it was defrosting ok in the fridge.
I still have to take the turkey roaster upstairs so it’s ready for the morning, and get the crock pot ready for the ham. In the morning I will peel the potatoes and put them in cold water until it’s time to cook them.
Kelly txt me that she found someone who will take my old Christmas tree. So I wiped off the lid of the storage bin and Peyton will take it home tomorrow. I have to look for a sturdy container to store the new tree in. It’s more compact than the old one but the sections are taller so it won’t fit in the old bin.
And that’s all I have to say about today. Don’t be concerned if I don’t post tomorrow. Not sure how late everyone will stay, or how long I will stay awake after they all leave. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family and friends.
My blessing for today was getting everything done.
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW November 28th is:
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade; National Day of Mourning; National Clippers Day; National Dog Show Broadcast; National French Toast Day; Red Planet Day; Thanksgiving.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Voice Day. Tomorrow: Thanksgiving, of course! And maybe catch a bit of the parade. God bless – be thankful!
