All Quiet - For Now

It's quiet around the house today. BJ is out at our daughter's bridal shower. I finished another box of the ongoing scanning project this morning but my eyes are begging for a break. The Scamp is fussing about being parked in the garage instead of being out camping, but the calendar is starting to feel some pressure.

While most Americans are preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, we're waiting until next Sunday for our celebration. The Alaska family is scheduled to arrive on Friday, we'll celebrate Thanksgiving on Sunday, and the daughter gets married the following Wednesday, so the excitement is starting to build.

Meanwhile, the turkey is in the freezer, the trash can, aluminum foil, and charcoal are ready and waiting. Next Sunday we'll be doing a trash can turkey for the centerpiece of our Thanksgiving meal.

    1. Thanks, Jerry. We're experiencing some cooler, wetter weather right now but trusting for good Arizona weather for the wedding. It's all going to be fun!

  3. I saw where Phoenix got 2 inches of rain! Bet that was the lead story of the day! Those beautiful sunny skies will surely be back for the daughter's big day.

    Enjoy that special family time!

    1. We did get some rain and the usual hand wringing on the local news that goes with it - "oh my goodness it's raining - how can we survive this?" Obviously, I must be the only one in the valley from the Great Northwet! We're trusting for good weather for the wedding - certainly going to be much more comfortable than a mid-summer outdoor wedding!
