Love Thanksgiving! Getting ready to go to my aunt's house even as I write. Blue sky, white clouds, leaves falling, inviting...a beautiful day.
This year I have the pleasure of contributing to the dinner with my yeast rolls and looking forward to how they will compliment the turkey and dressing and sweet potato souffle...my mouth is watering thinking about it!..sopping up the gravy. Oh, I've got to stop it now.
May all the wonderful blessings of God and the fruit of mother earth be upon your table and in your home today. God bless your meal, your desserts, your pies, your family and friendships and conversations today!..and your napping, and your waking to do it all over again tonight.
What are you looking forward to today?
Give thanks with a grateful heart, and forget not His wonderul benefits to the sons of man.
Love to all, and love to hear from you. Love, Karl

The morning started with leftover crepes I had made a couple of days ago and enjoying the beauty outside my window of the day just starting. Actually, I got up right when Macy's parade was ending...stayed up a little late.
ReplyDeleteThe afternoon...man,the turkey was super tender and juicy...and with gravy, why in the world did I wait a whole year! Sweet potato casserole was slammin'. Mom did a great first attempt at the dressing and a guest brought a bucketful of brown rice and mushrooms spread out on a huge beautiful silver platter.
Aunt Karen played her piano while I felt like I could easily doze off on her soft and comfy couch.
Baby cousin Jordi was the cutest watching baby Einstein videos on a flat screen 5 times as big as he is.
My wife was sick but still did a bang up job on her makeup and looked the prettiest... however, the Victoria's Secret girls weren't too shabby either, nyuck, nyuck (ha).
Finished the night with a hot ham and cheese roll, green been casserole and hot tea while watching Paul McCartney in New York. Not sure how late I'll be up, but I just might get me one of those baked pears, too. God bless! I hope that you all had a great day and someone to spend it with. May your holiday season truly be filled with joy and peace on earth!
Love,
Karl
