The Day After

The day after Thanksgiving, that is...

MUCH cooler weather has finally arrived here in S FL!!  Lovin' it.  Our windows are open and the breeze is blowing - I'm sure we will have to shut them later, but for now we're enjoying it.  We had a great day yesterday. Turkey in the oven nice and early.  Plenty of food to share for all 14 of us... everyone helped out.  After dinner everyone helped clean up.  Today - leftovers, of course.  I have bones and left over meat (some stuck to the bones) cooking for turkey broth as we speak - smells so good!!!  I will make soup tomorrow - yummo!!! And THEN on Sunday I will make more soup for a class at church. 

Our tree was JUST lit!!! Our youngest DS, who has to stay busy to be happy, put it up for me.  Now later this evening or tomorrow we'll put the decorations up!!!  I love Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Such a neat time of year.  The only problem we have  - our araticficial tree was purchased to go into our 20' high living room - we now spend the majority of our time in our 8' high family room - - - we can see the tree lights, but it's just not the same... know what I mean?  Oh well - last year we bought a real tree to put in the family room, but finances are tight now - we'll work with what we have and be glad we have the artificial one!!  Can't wait to see it decorated!!

Working on the quilt for my friend.... pieced and sandwiched - now quilting it by hand... I'll post pics as soon as it's done.

Wedding is a week from tomorrow - SO HARD TO BELIEVE!!!  Tons of travel picking family/wedding party up and then back to the airport...

Well, I'm going to see if we can go out to eat now - DH is home!!!
