It is chilly and rainy. We have been to the annual Thanksgiving dinner fund-raiser at church. There was quite a crowd so it must have gone well. This one was to provide warm coats for those in need - an annual charity we commit to.
The turkey was absolutely delicious.
Now to hang our coats up to dry and brew hot tea.
I wish you all a happy weekend.

My computer went out this afternoon. It froze, and I finally got it to allow me to move around just a little while ago.
Fingers crossed it will be totally okay, tomorrow.
Happy pre-Thanksgiving weekend.

Hope you had a fun day with the kids, Dex. It has rained most of the afternoon, here - nothing spectacular, just drizzle enough to start the leaves falling. It's still raining. I'm thinking of making a bowl of popcorn and watching a movie on TV. If anyone had told us we could one day request just about any movie or TV show ever made and watch it at our convenience, it would have been hard to believe. But Voila! We're thinking maybe the original West World or one of the Pirates of the Caribbean series ... or most anything with Bill Murray.

That sounds like fun but I'd go for Young Frankenstein or some kind of thriller, maybe something with Matt damon.

Popcorn sounds very good tonight. We have an air popcorn popper, an old fashioned popper and also bags we can pop in the microwave, but seldom think to use them. In fact, I'll need to replenish our supply because what we have could not be fresh.
I'll do that tomorrow and surprise my husband with a movie and popcorn night.
The Bourne Ultimatum is one I have not seen and we both would enjoy.

It's going to be very cold here tonight, too, down in the 20s F. I'm going to make beef tips with gravy over mashed potatoes with carrots and yeast rolls. Grapes and vanilla ice cream for dessert. Hubby is helping his parents put the storm windows in. Hope he'll be home soon. I'm hungry!!!
No work tomorrow.

Warmer today, sun and (unfortunately) some wind.
It's been a long, hard day for me with more of the same coming up tomorrow.
Thanksgiving break will be nice. Then, I have a couple more long days next week. After that, I'll be finished at work until March.
I most definitely hope nobody pushes at me to be out and about on Black Friday. The deal would have to be spectacular!
Lots of good posts here to catch up on.
I'm impressed!

We did the popcorn night. The popcorn we used was homegrown in the area and sold at a fresh foods store. It had very few hard kernels and was a success. We re-watched Caddy Shack, an old favorite. It is chilly tonight but not as cold. The turkey is thawing and the pies will be baked tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving to all.
