Good morning, In Awe of Him;

It's a joy to see this side of the forums is in good cheer. Because the day you lose this happy fellowship, we'll have to have a GARAGE sale.

By the by, our family is planning our Thanksgiving and I'm cooking the turkey as I do every year. The turkey is from Jenny-O. Its usually a small 13 pounder and it comes in a plastic package. On the backside are illustrations like a finger pointing where to put the turkey. 🤡

I heat the stove at 400% and after 4 hours a little thermometer in the turkey pops up. Am I going too fast? lol! Anyways....the turkey comes out perfect.

Then for dessert is Häagen-Dazs ice cream with apple pie.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Bob

I never make them.... My friend Margaret and Mr. Louie are in charge of the turkey.

I have always been intimidated by those turkeys.... so easy to make them dry.

Turkeys have always been served in our family. I've always enjoyed turkeys even when they're dry, it goes great with gravy. Unlike a chicken that can be juicy.

🦃 vs 🐓

I remember a comedy show about a radio station called WKRP Cincinnati. As a promotion for Thanksgiving they threw out turkeys from an airplane only to find out turkeys don't fly. lol!

Leftover turkey on pizza is great by the way.
 
And God said: Let There Be Light. ???

Pretty sure he didn't mean in my house.
We had a good size cyclone hit our area. Family is safe. And that is all I care about.
But the roof of the house is a mess and now needs replacing.

I laughed this morning. The house electrical needed work over loaded box and damage from surge.
Major sewer under the house broke needed repair. All in all around 25K this year and among that
several family deaths. Cars need repairs. Feel like my wallet is bleeding out each month.

However, this year I was to be treated for Cancer. It disappeared without a trace. Doctors can not explain why.
My son is in remission after 12 years on infusion he is free and clear.
My Granddaughter who is 7, told me our car rides where we talk about God are her favorite times.
I am married to the most wonderful and most kind woman, amazing and special. 34 years, known each other 40.
My two sons have made me so proud. My son opened his first business at 33. He is honest and caring to his customers.
My son who has the disability, was the first to step up to help my son start his business.

Life is difficult, but I am grateful for so much. Thank You Jesus. For keeping my heart where it needs to be.
 
Good morning my beautiful forum family...

Well... It's been a quiet but productive week-end for me. I spent some time trying to decide how I was going to attempt to decorate my dresser that is in my living area. I went to the thrift store and found a large bag of gold balls.. and I took out some lights that my daughter bought me a few years back. I also put 4 crystal goblets on top of a mirror with gold edging. By using up what I already had.... I was able to create a look that is rather stunning in it's simplicity. I just need to add a bit of greenery which I will probably gather by hand.

I also decorated my hand made wooden box that my neighbour gave me several weeks back. I need to get a special something for the frame... Am working on that. :D.

For now... I am done... I think for my first year of attempting to decorate... I have done quite well. It has an elegant flare to it. At the end of the season when things go on sale... I may consider investing in some decorations that I can store in a box for next year.

Mr. Louie is arriving on Wednesday and will stay until next Monday. Everything is up high so I was able to get things done BEFORE he arrives.

So then... a few quiet days before the barking begins.... Louie's name SHOULD be Mr. Barker. HAHAHA. It's the trait
of the breed. He is a dachshund mix. Anyways... He only barks when he is awake. HAHAHA. ( It's not that bad ). We generally walk along the waterfront on the beach to avoid other dogs and people. It makes for a more enjoyable walk
( for me HAHA ).

I hope all my Amercian brothers and sisters had an AWESOME Thanksgiving. Let the Christmas festivities begin.

P.S. I need some help decorating the Garage... Snacks will be provided as well as drinks of the fizzy kind.

After December 1st.... I would like to change the tone to ALL THINGS CHRISTMAS... favourite songs... favourite memories.... favourite recipes.... ( You get the picture ).... and also a reminder that come December 31st... this thread will be closed and we will be moving to the CABIN on January 1st.... so let's go out in style!!!!

The first time I read this, I read, "I went to the thrift store and found a large bag of golf balls.. and I took out some lights that my daughter bought....". That will happen when playing golf in the Garage! :D

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and still HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

Good grief.... I need to write a notice..... NO sports in the garage around the area where the tree will stand.... or near Uncle Hank's picture.

I also noticed that Bob's chair is all dirty AGAIN.... not pointing any fingers but it appears that the stains are of the chocolate peanut butter type. I say this because I found a whole stack of wrappers UNDER the cushions.

The cleaners will be here this afternoon. Miraculously.... Mr. Moose's CHAIR is as clean as a whistle. Hmmmmm.

The snails are working on their stockings... Connie is also making one for Mr. Moose... I asked if she could at least make it big enough to fit a peanut butter cup ( with the wrapper ).

Good morning, In Awe of Him and Big Moose;

I love spheres, whether gold balls, golf balls, marbles, etc...spheres to me represent a positive aura.

Hey, In Awe of Him, do you have permission to lay a carpet in the garage? Not here, but in your other garage?

It would look cozy even with Bob's dirty chair and it helps keep the room warm.

What say you?

Well, to make a long story......interesting, while Bob was away, the snails were crawling on his chair, and you know how they leave sticky trails wherever they go, and then dust and beautiful brown fur got stuck to the chair, and I noticed this, so I thought I should clean it off, and I used the snail family brood like sticky rollers to remove the dust and fur, and then it tickled them from the rolling over the chair, so they got all riled up and started to throw PB cups at me to see if I could catch them in my mouth, but ya know they don't have hands, and so they don't throw so good, and some of them got by me, and then we heard someone coming, turns out it was Bob coming back, so we threw the sheet on the chair, and we ran and hid, well the snail family didn't run, but you know what I mean, and we are very, very sorry.

Miracles still happen! Also, spraying the chair with a Teflon coating helps to keep things from sticking to it. ;)
