I'm talking about aprons! Do you have one? Do you wear one? Do you need one to keep you from getting splattered with cookie dough or flour or grease?

Are you ready? You've got this!!

Hi!

How prepared do you need to be? If you are hosting a crowd or just a couple of others, are you still writing lists and checking them twice? Are you overthinking what still needs to be done? Are you calm and ready for what the day will bring? Have you been invited somewhere?

Dh will be watching football at some point today. I have no idea what to make for supper. There is a dirty pot in the sink and a dirty bowl that appeared over night. Other than that, my pots/pans/large utensils and all dishes are clean. Now I just have to put them all away. Easy peasy.

There was NO snow over night even though it was predicted. "Snow squalls expected this evening" "Snow will begin before midnight" "Expect a snowy day tomorrow" etc. I guess weather forecasters can say whatever they want and still keep a straight face the next day when they tell us the same thing all over again.

Happy American Thanksgiving!

We got the cold and with our family room having boards up rather than a wall; it's awfully cold in the kitchen. I put up a blanket between the family room and kitchen but will need insulation boards to keep the cold out. It's 27 and the wind has been wild.

I have work to do but I need to have my coffee and milk first.

dd orders presents are done - she gave me an idea last night and I ordered it. dd younger has an idea and needs to send me a link.

Tuesday night, I had a bad night sleep so I took a nap in the afternoon - well needed. dd's cleaned mom up last night for me. very nice!
I ended up not prepping the salads for today but that's okay - I can do it at 7:30

waving at everyone.

I was looking at things as too big: short panic but now I have a plan. easy peasy plan.

Deviled eggs are made. I'm done with my part for today. Sipping coffee now.

I worked on yarn projects last nite the crochet ones were more fun as I remember this batch not so much.
Some yarns are nicer than others one could be a flag if a person made enough to the pieces they are in rows.
mile a minute stitch only one Skein the yarn is the not so good one in red white and navy.
Other one is nice only one of it I'll be continuing to "practice" on it. Black teal purple are the main colors.

Why, yes. Yes, I believe I do have an apron. :D

We can do this! To bravely paraphrase the Klingon, "It is a good day to wear an apron."

When I sit at my desk, one of the items I see is a little pouch I was given, with a triple image of pink ribbon, peace sign and heart. It is not profound, it is nylon and plastic. But it does say, "peace, love, cure". Inside were lifesavers candies, tic-tacs, tissues.

I am thankful for the peace I am able to feel, knowing everyone in our world isn't able to, and reminding myself there have been times that Thanksgivings, among many allies, has been marred by wars, by rationing of food for tables, by fear for family members who weren't seated in their chairs. I'm thankful for the love that I am given, and the chances I've been given to show love to others. I'm thankful for the cures that have been provided so that those who might come to my table, and those I don't even know around their own tables, are still thriving against odds.

Good morning
Are you calm and ready for what the day will bring?
I am. Serving bowls are out and assigned a use. It is just a matter of doing the final hour of last-minute things.

Each of the 4 small towns around me are hosting Thanksgiving meal for community. Everyone is invited and it is free. I do love to see caring for others in action.
