    Happy turkey day everyone. We're going over the mountains and through the woods to my sister-in-law's house in central Oregon. Her husband and I are kindrid spirits when it comes to eating the Thanksgiving feast. We believe in getting the turkey (mostly dark meat), dressing, and mashed potatoes on our plate before smothering the whole thing in gravy.

    Of course, now I'm starting to hear that there might be snow in the mountains for our return trip home.

    I'm not a big mulled wine fan, but a spanish coffee might go well with the invoicing that I have to do this afternoon before I leave work.

    These are not the droids you were looking for

    It looks like I'll have a white thanksgiving this year. I'll drive to my brother's house in old blue ( wish me luck!) I'm not a sweet potato & yam fan, but if they can be made for a non-yam fan I'll take them.

    I've never had mulled wine before, but Terry likes his cider mulled, so maybe I'll try some - thanks barkeep, you always come up with the best most appropriate drinks for the seasons/occassions.

    Yams made with a lot of brown sugar and butter are yummy, and even french fried yams are yummy. As a kid I wouldn't be caught dead eating something as silly sounding as a yam (Sam I yam), but I think I'm turning into a convert, and I'm sure Laurie's yams will be just the thing to put me over the edge.

    I'll probably have a new router waiting for me Monday when I get back to work - sometimes my boss is just so easy - so life is looking pretty good.....as long as the snow holds off until we get up to WI for turkey day.

    Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! Don't eat too much, don't drink too much, drive careful and no matter how much your family gets on your nerves, appreciate and enjoy every minute of it!

    Let's see, old blue, snow, slick streets, traveling, Gosh, I sure wish you lots of luck!!! I hope your bro doesn't live too far away!

    You might call him before you leave. That way he can send a search party if you don't get there in a reasonable amount of time.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Thanks for the BM Richard. I'm having a busy day at work here.....not having much fun at all. Spoke to Laurie last night and called Mz Gini this morning. I suspect you are all stuffing yourselves with turkey right about now. Have a great rest of the day everyone! I'll try to check back tomorrow.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Hope everyone is having a happy turkey day. I'm at work now. I had a cornish hen today and we're having snack foods tonight. I'm having Thanksgiving at my brother's house on Saturday. I hope everyone is doing well and isn't too stuffed.

    9/3/13
    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Connie thank goodness he lives only about 5 miles away, but you're right I'll have slick streets and have to go up and down a couple of hills. Right now old blue is on life support!

    That's what I read. Be sure to call your bro when you get home and let him know you and old blue made it home safely. Don't want to worry anyone!
    Have fun!

    Well, Connie I got lucky. Tonight, I have to go to church and sing in the choir, but my brother is picking me up. I'm glad because where I live is called Penn Hills and they don't call it that for nothing! It's hilly!
