Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I thought you were supposed to sleep in on holidays but what do you do when your eyes pop open at the normal time and you can't go back to sleep? I guess you get up and start you day. We had chocolate chip cookies and coffee for breakfast then unloaded a truck l0ad of fire wood on to the porch. I took the dogs for a walk and Sis picked on her guitar she bought for 25.00. It is not even tuned but I heard her picking out Silent Night, Amazing Grace, Jingle Bells and a few more. I wonder what she will be able to do when she gets it tuned? Terry decided to go to the shop and get a new storm door (used) to put on our back door to replace the scruffy one with the torn screen. Me and Sis went to Wal Mart (thank God Wal Mart is open on Thanksgiving!) to pick up a few things. I need butter to make the mashed potatoes, stuffing, pie makings and dog food. We left there poorer then we went in and I even forgot to get the pie crust, cranberry sauce and stuffing. When we got home Terry was installing the new storm door so we started lunch. I had already baked the turkey the night before while at Bea's house since my big oven isn't working so I just had to heat it up. I started the potatoes boiling for mashed taters and Sis grated the cabbage for cole slaw. Wal Mart was out of the bagged slaw so we had to do it the hard way. We had a can of apple pie filling but since we forgot the pie crust I suggested we make apple crumble instead of pie. Go the easy way I said but Sis would have none of it, she wanted apple pie. I found her a recipe for pie crust and she did it herself. So we had apple pie after all. The crust was a little thick and didn't go all the way to the edges but who cares? Not me, she can bake me an apple pie any day! I mashed the taters, cooked the green beans and thickened the gravy and we had Thanksgiving dinner. I called Mom at Bea's and ask if I could bring them a plate and she was tickled. We took them some turkey dinner and went on over to the sawmill and Terry hooked up the Bobcat to the log splitter and we brought home another load of fire wood for the porch. That is really going to feel nice come January. I will be at Bea's starting tonight until Saturday morning so I spent the afternoon cleaning up the kitchen and getting things ready for me to leave these guys along for that long. We had leftovers for supper and I took a short cat nap on the couch during the news and that was my day. Lets hear how your day off went. Sis is spending the night a Jessica's tonight so that leaves Terry to take care of all the animal duties in the morning. He isn't too happy about that but it has to be done. I guess they will survive.
