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…
This is an excerpt from my new children’s book – I Wonder If She Remembers? Purity was putting the family groceries away. She was angry though as she’d had another argument with her stepfather. And she knew her mother would only take HIS side. Purity felt completely alone. She slammed the groceries down onto the…
As you start to prepare your Thanksgiving feast, you begin with dessert. Seems odd, I know. But desserts like pie, cookies, cakes etc… can be made several days ahead and kept on a container until they are needed. Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving without Pumpkin Pie. I did buy mine from the store. But if…
I am extremely grateful for everyone out there who follows this blog and is reading. I can see when people choose to watch the videos I make with the stories I post. It really helps keep me going. Being away from people that you love is very hard. This website has been a Godsend. You…
My first day off for Thabksgiving vacation was lovely. I took myself up to Oak Glen for a colorful hike through the autumn woods. Remember when we did that? This picture might remind you… Then, I went to that place where Purity had her field trip (the one with the Revolutionary War – you dipped…
One of my students made this for me yesterday. It’s nice to know when you are appreciated. I’m so lucky to have this student and so many like her. Her parents requested that I be her teacher. And whenever there is a problem, I know they will support me.
I found this movie on YouTube. It’s a spoof off the movie, The Family Guy with Nicolas Cage. A very successful lady lawyer finds herself in jeans and a soccar mom job for Thanksgiving. Her successful job is gone but her two kids and her husband need her. Cute story. I hope you enjoy it…It…
I’m not going anywhere this Thanksgiving break. Just sticking around the house – my Thanksgiving house. I got home early from work, cleaned a bit, and baked some bread. Now, I’m getting the car washed. No word yet if big brother is coming. Don’t think he can afford it. I believe he has to work…
Off at noon today! Yeah! But this 5pm darkness thing is really messing me up! How about you! More later! Have a great last day before break, girlies. I love you.
