    Hi
    I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 43 degrees.
    I did see 5 deer of assorted sizes running into and then down the road around 1.5 blocks ahead of me.

    Good morning.
    Mostly cloudy today, 40, high of 54. Warmer than it's been. I have an acupuncture appointment this afternoon. Went to the park yesterday, was dry enough to walk the path, just had to go around some muddy spots. I'd like to do my thanksgiving shopping today, will see if hubs feels like it.
    Happy Monday, everyone. :)
    Hi Vix
    Monday turned into a really nice day outside. This morning when walking I should have worn lighter gloves, I ended up with hands that were too warm inside of them or a bit cold without them.

    Those darn muddy spots can be slippery, I have slid when I hit one I had missed seeing.

    My Brother plans to stop at the grocery Store today for anything that might have been missed Sunday. So far the Cranberry Sauce has been made and is in a container in the refrigerator. Pumpkin Pies will be baked later today. Likely Stuffing and maybe Mashed potatoes made both ready to be heated on Thanksgiving day once the Turkey has been cooked. The main decision is Cook the Turkey Low and Slow or with a higher heat.

    My guess is that the grocery store will be very busy ahead of the Holiday.

    Have a Good Day

    Good morning;
    It is a gloomy, cold day here. I am off today. I have been to the grocery store to pick up a few things and CVS. Nothing else on the agenda for today.
    Hope everyone has a good week. :)
    Hi Joanne
    A day with uncomfortable weather sounds like a good day to be off from work.

    The Today and Tomorrow will be busy days for my brother doing the cooking he likes to do for the Holiday.

    Have a Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    Monday and today's weather was nice for walking here too.
    LL Bean makes good items, and easy to exchange if the size is wrong also.

    Cheers

    Good morning.
    Walked in the park again yesterday. The weather was beautiful...in the 50s. Got about 1/2 of the things I need for Thanksgiving. Hubby will probably go to the other supermarket today and pick up the rest, or I'll go after class. Stained glass and clay today.
    Happy Tuesday, eveyone. :)

    Hello Vix
    Monday and Tuesday were OK for most of the day until Tuesday started turning colder.

    My brother did a ShopRite Run Tuesday to pick up anything else that might be needed.

    I hope the classes went well, I meant to ask do You get a credit or refund when they are canceled by weather as happened last week ?

    Today should be busy with preparing things ahead for Tomorrow.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Irene
    I am not surprised that the ShopRite was busy. I suspect that most people already redeemed for the free Turkey since they are frozen if You pick them up today You are pushing Your luck. OTOH there are always procrastinators out there such as the ones still shopping for gifts Christmas Eve :wink:

    Even today was not bad walking, Tomorrow I have no doubt that I will be putting the Hood on my Hoodie up and maybe tie it in place if there is a breeze. I think I may go out later and pick up a 1$ coffee at McDonalds to heat before walking Thursday Morning, OTOH I know the 7-Eleven never closes and I may also swing past the Quick Chek and see if they have holiday hours posted. The Problem with going to McDonalds is the tasty temptations they sell.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good Afternoon
    Happy Birthday, Irene!
    I picked up my free turkey today from work. This is the first time they have ever given us anything free.
    Roger-I checked out the link. I will think about joining the challenge after Thanksgiving.
    Hi Vix
    I made my cranberry sauce yesterday and am going to make apple pie today.

    Hi all.
    Went to the park and walked today. My cleaning service was here this morning, so the house is nice and clean. I've made the corn bread for the stuffing today, and will make the cranberry sauce and cheesecake. Hubby ordered a bench for our mud room and that came today, and he put it together. It's nice. Good to have a place to sit in there and change our shoes!
    Roger, the "classes" are at the Sr. Ctr. The cost is minimal. Stained glass and clay we pay each time we go, the painting and drawing class,we pay $25 for 8 weeks, they add a week if we miss one for weather.
    Jo, apple pie sounds yummy. My Mom used to make apple pies and lemon merangue pies with crust that tasted like vanilla cookies....they were good. I'm going to make a pumpkin cheese cake with sour cream topping, and gingersnap crust. I've never tried it before, but it sounds good!
    Irene, it was not as cold as I thought it would be on the walk today, but I did wear layers and a scarf/hood to keep my head warm. Hope you're having a great birthday!
    Happy Wednesday, everyone.

    P.S. it is only the farmed Turkeys that can not fly I seem to remember that wild Turkeys fly quite well if they need to. It is the ones that have been bred to have huge breast that can't.

    Hello Irene
    It isn't that I like it better, The reason I am trying it out is that the posts that were held for moderator approval, Some of them never made it and were deleted since the Moderator though they were duplicates from my trying more than once. Thus this way if that happens again only one will need approval. Hence My trying it this way. I also sort of wondered if anybody else felt like joining in, Originally others were using it too.
    I am the only one using that challenge for quite a while, everybody else dropped out, I now use it as a place to put my thoughts in order and had been copying it to the posts. I started it and expected it to run May 23, 2016 to July,3 2016, Oh Well it is what it is.

    Happy Birthday

    Hello Irene
    Both My Brother and I used to get a free Frozen Turkey from work for years. I am somewhat surprised considering that where You work meaning they get them at cost this is the first year for You.

    They Sound Frugal TBH.

    It would be nice to have someone else there. That sort of accountability can help with motivation IMO.

    Homemade Cranberry Sauce is sitting in the refrigerator waiting. Pumpkin Pie and heavy Cream ready to become Whipped Cream too. The Two Pumpkin Pies are enough for us this holiday, Possibly Apple or some other for Christmas/New Years Day meal.

    FWIW in the past I have had the ShopRite Very Berry Pie and Wow, so good that I ate way to much. If You are curious I did see this recipe
    https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/triple-berry-pie/
    and this one too
    https://www.mrssmiths.com/products/original-flaky-crust/original-flaky-crust-very-berry.htm
    The Raspberries give it a sweet and tart taste IMO. So Good :blush:

    The Turkey went into the oven at 6:30 and the internet cooking guides indicated that our Turkey should take 5 1/2 hours ate 350 degrees to cook, then pull out the meat thermometer and check the Thigh and stuffing to be sure they are at least 165 degrees.

    Hmm... Is the Birthday greeting for Irene or did someone spill the beans that I turned 71 this month ?

    Either way have a Happy Thanksgiving

    Hi, Going back to how I had been doing it unless I get another warning that post is being held for moderation to approve it.

    I'm back home from walking and once again nothing found. The Temperature out the door was 12 degrees. The weather feels more like Mid winter in temperature. Yesterday broke some record cold temperatures and The 12 degrees will be breaking records too. According to the weather forecasts I saw Yesterday came in as the second coldest Thanksgiving day.
