Thanksgiving Leftovers

On the First Day: We give thanks for the fresh turkey feast and its hot trimmings.
On the Second Day: We bless the cold turkey sandwiches, sloshy cranberry sauce and hard rolls.
On the Third Day: We praise the turkey pie and vintage mixed veggies.
On the Fourth Day: We thank the pilgrims for not serving bison that first time, or we'd be celebrating Thanksgiving until April.
On the Fifth Day: We gobble up cubed bird casserole and pray for a glimpse of a naked turkey carcass.
On the Sixth Day: We show gratitude (sort of) to the creative cook who slings cashews at the turkey and calls it Oriental.
On the Seventh Day: We forgive our forefathers and pass the turkey-nugget pizza.
On the Eighth Day: The word "vegetarian" keeps popping into our heads.
On the Ninth Day: We check our hair to make sure we're not beginning to sprout feathers.
On the Tenth Day: We hope that the wing meat kabobs catch fire under the broiler.
On the Eleventh Day: We smile over the creamed gizzard because the thigh bones are in sight.
On the Twelfth Day: We apologize for running out of turkey leftovers.
And everybody says Amen.

Happy Thanksgiving

What's everyone doing for Thanksgiving?

Happy Veteran's Day

Joe and Kim are friends of ours. You may remember them from a couple of the parties we had at the house.

Apple Picking

Today Jim and I picked apples at County Line Orchard in Indiana. It is one of my favorite fall activities, we go every year. We usually go in October, but this year we wanted to go a couple times and take advantage of the different varities. Today we picked Gala and Golden Delicious and bought Jonathons at the barn. I have already made one pie. We plan to go again in early October when I can get apples for applesauce and more pies. We also bought apple donuts, a favorite of both of us. Yum! Yum!

A day in the life...

Sometimes you just have to let them know who's boss.

It has to be said.

I just noticed last week that the banner for this blog is not grammatically correct. It should say "Granaths R Us" as in plural, more than one Granath. Instead it either says "Granath is R us" (which totally doesn't make sense!) or R Us belongs to Granath. Sorry, it was bothering me and I don't know how to fix it so I had to tell someone.
