We had a fabulous time this year with our niece, Roxie and her family and Harold's sister, Becky who was visiting from Colorado and their friend, Sandy.

Happy Thanksgivings!

No pictures, as lost on phone when it broke before I shared them anywhere. Just a simple dinner with family.

Giving Thanks

This year we once again, kept it simple and even more so. We just had a turkey with the fixins' this year and just family. Jacob made the mashed potatoes this year. Harold bought the pies.

 Turkey is looking good!

This was the casserole made with the leftover turkey and dressing on Sat.

Thanksgiving's Day 2013

With all that has been going on, I decided to keep it simple this year. Well, simple in that I didn't invite anyone over. Decided to just keep it family. We enjoyed a delicious and relaxed meal.

 

 L'il Bit wanted to join us. She took over my chair while I was taking pictures.

 

 Everyone's ready to eat

Let's just say - I ate good!

Happy Squirrels!

We always enjoy watching the squirrels play in our yard. Mostly in the backyard, but occassionally acting up in the front yard. This year they decided they liked the pumkin I had on the front steps. They have never bothered the pumpkin before and I am glad they at least waited until after Halloween. I got this one from the Senior Center when I went to make cards last month. They had drawn faces on them and gave me one. Unfortunately, it was done with markers that were not permanent and the face wash away the first day as it was raining. Oh well! Anyway, starting last week we noticed something was eating the top of the pumpkin, but could not tell for sure if it was a bird or the squirrels, until one morning when Harold walked out and scared a poor squirrel half too death. Well, the day before Thanksgiving they finally broke thru to the inside and after that they made quick work of it...they discovered the yummy seeds inside and went crazy, everytime you looked out there was a squirrel eating. It was so funny to watch them practically climb inside it to get the goodies in it. They have eaten all of the insides now, so we haven't been seeing them any more. They have lost interest in the shell of the pumpkin now. These shots were taken Thanksgiving's Day.

Happy Thanksgiving's Day!

Had a nice Thanksgiving's Day this year. Jacob was able to come home to join us and we had my friends over again. I made the usual - tukey, ham, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes,green bean casserole and deviled eggs. Margarethe brought over a delicious Hershey Bar pie and a Apple-Cranberry Crumb pie and Bobbie brought over a great Pineapple Upside-down Cake (my favorite) and a homemade pumpkin pie. I had also bought a Sweet Potato pie and Harold had found a Sweet Potato Cake (someone had made one once and he liked it, but he said hers was definitely better - of course it was, it was homemade). Jacob also preferred Bobbie's pumpkin pie over his usual preference of sweet potato pie - again homemade wins over store bought - LOL!
