I love this movie. It’s probably going to feel to slow to you girls. But Grandma and I love watching movies like this. It’s about two older people who fall in love around the holidays. They meet at Thanksgiving and get together the next Christmas. Julie Andrews was in those Princess Diary movies. She played…
I did go out today. But most of my Christmas shopping is done. So I could just enjoy the good deals. Grandma wants me to do Christmas dinner this year, so I’ve already started planning the menu. I did a bit of shopping for this, but was home by lunch. I also started an organizing…
Well, the house is already for the big day. As this house is called my Thanksgiving House, I’d like you to see it looking as it does now. My table is set for you both to visit today. No, I’m not nuts. Just letting you know that I’m ready for you whenever you can come…

Well, my bird is sitting out defrosting. I’ll bake my pumpkin pie today and make the green bean casserole. Grandma likes the jello kind of cranberry sauce (yuck!). I’m going to make some turkey breast dinners with mashed yams and green beans as a means to starting my weight loss again. I’m trying to walk…
Grandma and I were talking about you both yesterday. She remembered once how one of you said you’d “get a pretty dress and some high heeled shoes to catch a man and make him take care of you.” She told me she really set you straight on a few things. 1.Get a good job! Having…
