DR John, DR Kerry said it when he was visiting us a couple weeks ago. My daughter repeats it and laughs. Over and over.

I made a pumpkin pie yesterday. I made some tart shells with leftover crust. I'll spoon some lemon curd in them for folks who don't like pumpkin pie (Wae-Ling).

We have pumpkin and apple pie here today.

I never think of fruitcake. I LOVE fruitcake. I'm terrible at shopping for them because I have no idea which one is going to be to my liking. Probably most of them, but there are a few weird ones out there, and I've wound up with a couple of them over the years.

The best fruitcake that I ever had (but I must admit that I haven't had many) was from Costco. The texture was firm but not too hard, and had no raisins, which is a good thing. It tasted very good. I haven't had it in several years. I think I might need to get one for the annual holiday party at my work in a few weeks.

I have some last minute preparations to do before I head over to Mom's. (1/2 mile away) Later on, I'll come back and feed the boys and then take them over as well, and we'll all hang out together today.

I'm home from dinner!

The food was delicious. They had plenty to eat for vegetarians, including spinach quiche and macaroni and cheese.

Doing a load of laundry. One of the two washers is broken so it will take longer than normal. I'm glad I started early.

Gratuitous Post #100!

Well, I need to get ready for my family's get-together, so have a great rest of the day, everyone!

Until later!

I'm up, I'm up - a bit over nine hours of glorious sleep. Looks like a nice Thanksgiving Day outside.

Hello, everyone.

I enjoyed TCB's photos from last night. TCB is looking quite dapper.

I had a "vigorous" therapy session yesterday. Then came home, couldn't keep my eyes open, and soon had a spontaneous nap.

Jeanne · « **Reply #108 on:** November 24, 2016, 12:30:31 PM »

I started season 3 of A PLACE TO CALL HOME. No end of surprises in this show. I'll watch more tonight.

Jeanne · « **Reply #109 on:** November 24, 2016, 12:32:24 PM »

Another nap may be in order.

Jeanne · « **Reply #110 on:** November 24, 2016, 12:33:05 PM »

TTFN.

Back from a two-and-a-half mile jog and shall now make some food.

Matthew · « **Reply #112 on:** November 24, 2016, 02:23:22 PM »

I'm done with my preparations. I'll be heading over to moms in a bit. I'll take pics.

I'm trying, I'm really trying and I know the critics were falling all over themselves about how GREAT it was and it made a ton of money - but I am hating every second of The Jungle Book, a cookie-cutter, horribly written, NON live action movie (thus far there is one live action human in the film) so do NOT call it a live action remake, poorly cast and excruciatingly bad movie - everything you'd think it would be in today's world magnified ten times - hit me over the head from frame one - have bad narration (thirty years ago you would have been run out of the business for having narration in a film - now you HAVE to have it) - have a pompous, pretentious musical score to also hit you over the head - make everything a "lesson" for children, but not in a fun way - I just don't get movies today - at ALL.

I am a traditionalist and believe thanksgiving is not complete without pumpkin pie

I don't think that I have ever tried pumpkin pie. However, how can someone not believe in pumpkin pie?? Or do they just not like it?

I'm home! It was a nice gathering, but I don't like being out after dark these days. The dinner was good, and people seemed to like the Campbell's soup Swiss veggies.

Now this made me laugh. Check out the amazon reviews!

Season one is waiting at the library for me.

Managed to make it through The Jungle Book and will only add the cliched and obligatory chanting chorus and bamboo flute in the score. Hated it.

bk · « **Reply #119 on:** November 24, 2016, 05:37:59 PM »

Will now watch something else.
