FOR TODAY Monday, November 17th, 2008Outside my window...
squirrels and cardinals are entertaining my lazy cat as he sunbathes
in the windowsill.

I am thinking...
about the week ahead which will be full of family and food!

I am thankful...
that I cannot see an end to the list of things I am grateful for. If I were to try to
"count my many blessings" and "name them one by one"
I would go to infinity and beyond.
From the kitchen...
The kitchen is getting prepped for the feasting ahead.
Today it is getting scrubbed and reorganized (call it "fall cleaning").

I am creating...
a surprise for one of my friends and a holiday wonderland inside my house.

I am reading...
one of my favorite historical fiction novels, The Silver Chalice, written by Thomas Costain in 1952. It is a story written about the making of a silver chalice to hold the cup that Christ used during the Last Supper. It is a fictional account of the early church and some of its Biblical leaders. I've already read it twice (all 533 pages), but was inspired to read it again after my Dad returned from his trip to Cyprus with stories and his pictures of the places where the apostle Paul had been.
I am hoping...
I accomplish everything that I want to get done during my week "off"
and that there might be a few spare moments left to relax!

I am hearing...
holiday music from pandora.com .
Around the house...
its beginning to look and sound a lot like Christmas.
My mom is hosting the Thanksgiving feast at her house,
so I am trying to my house decorated before my in-laws come in
and before my week "off" is over.
One of my favorite things...
is Thanksgiving traditions.
I always watch the Macy's parade with my Mimi
- either together or across the miles.
We also prepare the same feast using the same recipes year after year.
Some of my favorite family tradition foods are my Grandma Tapp's fruit salad,
Dad's gelatin salad, Mom's yeast rolls and our sweet veggie relish.
Of course it wouldn't taste like Thanksgiving
without the cornbread dressing and pumpkin pie!
A few plans for the rest of the week:
Finish decorating inside the house and start on the outside.
Put the finishing touches on my "special project" for a friend.
Thanksgiving feast preparation. I am fixing all the sides and baking all the pies.
Enjoy spending time with my husband, children, parents and brother, as well as,
Weldon's mom and her husband who are joining us this year.
Here is picture thought I am sharing...
