How about a rose in winter bloom?

That is one pretty bloom!

Hi Gang - I'm home for the whole week! Time to get the turkey ready, thawing in the fridge now.

Al

Yep, Mine too. think I'll start Potato salad by boiling the taters.

I'll hit the grocery for the last minute baking stuff I need after work today... I plan to try and get some of my pies made tonight, then finish tomorrow after work. Also I usually get the bird ready the night before then I just have to toss it in the oven Thanksgiving morning. Prep all my veggies and herbs that need cutting up - fun fun fun!

Durned near burned thse taters. But I rescued the good ones and got them made up. I'll see if Robert Likes them. Poor (NOT) Robert...☺

Actually I'm in charge of the 22 lb.turkey, everybody else brings the extra stuff. We have three grown kids plus spouses and granddaughter Livy visiting tomarrow night, not Thursday. Our two sons must do shift work on Thanksgiving Day. It'll still be a fun meal.

I'm baking a Impossible Sweet Potato pie. first time, hope it is good. Smells good!
The Potatoes didn't burn, but they browned on bottom. got the top ons out and they are o.k. sometimes I have a heck of a time. Got the Potato Salad made to....☺

That's what it was too. I narly goofed up but thankfully I didn't.☺ Got there just in time.

I'm planning a poppy pot for out front. I was thinking of Purple and Blue poppies with maybe some Orientale around them. Then I'm planning a large "bog pot" for a few "buggy" locations.

I hope everyone enjoys their turkeys. I won't be ... I gave up on Turkey and am making a pork loin.

bird day is over now got to think about the fat man in red . have alot of grand kids takes us from ont year to the next just to get ready, sure is fun to watch them. need to go to bed ran the vaccum sure made me tirde must be out of shape uper part of the statr got snow today glad we didn.t we may get sleat or freezing rain sure hope they got that wrong sounds cold to me i can do without it. love and hugs mekos love those pups for me.

As a kid when we'd go to a buffet my Grandpa would always tell me "Your eyes are bigger than your stomach." I've just realized that as an adult it's changed to "Your eyes are bigger than your garden."

How are the pups Mekos?

How was everyone's holiday? I avoided the bird because I got food poisoning from turkey I cooked earlier due to a broken thermometer. Thankfully my pork loin turned out excellent thanks to my new oven thermometer (Dad bought!)

LOL Glad it was wonderful Tikipod! Pups are little FAT pigglets! We also had a great day. Glad it is over though.

Babies are 1 week old.

picture makes me want to pick one up and just breathe in that wonderful puppy smell !

oh my goodness need to stop watching hgtv. home improvement bill would stroke out if he thought id been watching this. i get upset with unfenished projects the people in my house will start things but are not good about fenishing things. i could win a 2000 dollar make over for my kitchen.not because i never enter anything like that . i have a uew range hoob in the storage building all ready bought and paid for now if my handy men would get on the ball id paint it myself,the kitchen i mean. and id stop whining not, what i could do is install it myself bit im not good with a tape measure it has to be vented to the outside boy could i make a mess.i think i could drill a hole stick the saw in it and cut a hole in the wall. but i better not.love you all nettie.

mekos i love the little black one with the white spot on its tummy big hug from me. nettie

I LOVE puppy smell .... and puppy breath! :-))

Well, Nettie, I'm gonna be praying for those men to get busy on your range hood and get it installed for you! I need to paint my kitchen too. Too much to do before Christmas.
Puppies were 1 week old so I figure a picture each week will be good to show how they grow off. Glad you all liked them. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and weekend!
Turning off COLD here this week. In the 20's and LOW 30's at night. Rain today or tonight and it sure eels like snow weather in my joints! But only suppose to be rain. (Drat!) It's rotten to FEEL it and not GET it.
OH well, got to go fold clothes and clean some.

Cute puppies!

Al

Love those babies, Mekos!
