2011 Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is almost here. Time to pull out the apron and start cooking. We are going to be a small group this year. My thought was to cut down on the cooking a bit. Whose favorite do you leave out? So here we go again; We are making it all!!! Leftovers until Christmas.

The day before we make the desserts.



Fruit salad  - done

German Cheesecake - done
 Snacks before dinner tonight. Then the Shish-kabobs.

Week before Thankgiving




Last week should have been an easy week for fun and relaxing. Well that did not work out as I thought. Just when you think every thing is going to be easy....


                                                              
 Steve went goose hunting near Haskel Texas. Digging a hole to hide in and setting up decoy geese all around. Then in the early morning in cold weather waiting for the Geese to arrive and shoot them down. Sounds like a lot of work to me. Looking at the pictures I think every one had a good time.

My idea was to redo the bathroom while I have the time.Simple task I thought. Plan A did not workout. So I had yo go to plan B and that took twice as long. After two long days I was finally done.

So much for relaxing days.

Bathroom pictures coming soon.
