Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving!

We are doing Thanksgiving tomorrow at my new daughter-in-law's aunt's house. But my DH bought a small turkey to cook because we want the leftovers! I am trying to get it to defrost.

But also, especially, for this place and its denizens.  Thanks to BK for all that he endures to keep us up and running.  And thanks to a very great group of people for just being here.

You know, it's kind of silly that the several of us HHWers in this area don't think about getting together for Thanksgiving.  Shall we try it next year?  And I don't mean at some restaurant.  No sirree, I mean a real gathering and sit-down dinner at somebody's house.  And I hereby volunteer vixmom's!!!  :D   Okay, actually, seriously, I volunteer my own.  This can be done.  We can do it.  Oh yes we can.

I have the laundry in the washers.  I'm not moving well today.  Some days the left leg doesn't like supporting my avoirdupois or being forced to move.  This is such a day.

I received a very kind surprise invitation to what I know will be a gathering of lovely souls, but all I could see was the disaster of my apartment turned upside down for the laundry room and my ability to walk maybe as far as the corner. I turned it down but i really appreciate the invitation.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Another year!

Like DR CHAS SMITH I am most grateful for my health and my family.

And of course for all my friends in life and on the web especially here on HHW.

Our DR Matthew is in Manhattan, and we have tentative plans to meet tomorrow morning before he catches a matinee.

Please give him my best!

Finishing up Pitfall this morning. I realize I have seen this before. It has some good scenes and anything with Lizbeth Scott is always worth watching.

Thanksgiving morning greetings!  Our bird went in the oven at 8:40am and we've been watching the parade festivities ever since.  Flipping between NBC and CBS and managed to catch most of the Broadway numbers, including FIDDLER.

I'll be headed south of town a little later to an olive orchard. The owner has included a couple of friends and me for the last few years, and it's always nice. Just her, her brother-in-law and his family.

I have made another Cranberry Delight Pie for the day (third this season) and will be making roasted cauliflower with Kalamata olives.

I don't know what else is on the menu except for brussels sprouts. Could be beef. Could be turkey. Could be both.

But I am sure it will be good.

In my days of a single person  my friends and I would have a friends giving the Friday or Saturday after thanks giving.  If you would consider such a thing I would happily ferry everyone in my 7 seater van !

 I am glad to hear you received the invite and sorry you turned it down.  If it is not too late I wish you would reconsider

DR Elmore, did you hear the high school band from Indiana play out just now with "Love and Honor to Miami"?

No. I am not flipping channels. Or I might have been in the basement.  Once i'm there I need to sit for a bit.

We have been up for a while, and doing things about the house that we never seem to have time to do during the weekly routine.

There is a light filigree of snow falling and coating things. Our first significant of this winter season. So far, not enough to interfere with any plans.

So what is on the menu for all of our DRs today?


I have no idea what is on our menu. Our contribution to the feast is wine.


Lots and lots of it.

Yes, I was thinking that the Friday or Saturday is the best way to go on that.  Works for me!
