I got home about 4p...and am so ready to vegetate.
AJ just left for the hotel by the airport. He stopped in to pick up his winter gear. Leaves at 10a for Fairbanks, then a 5 hour drive to Pump Station 5 (I think I said 3 yesterday).
They hope to move Gypsy in January. She goes into a boat yard to have her mast restepped. Then she goes in the water and they will live aboard and start the shakedown process. They will sail and work, sail and work.
No dressing, and Ocean Spray cranberry jello in a can...thick slices on bread for leftovers. Yummy!!
Possible snow on Saturday, and then rain Sunday and Monday. I’m getting really tired of this.
ergh! Liver and onions. You’re right - - made me wanna barf. LOL
I’ll freeze most of the ham in small portions and if there’s any left by Christmas, Hubby can eat that or I’ll do a cola roast if he prefers. More of that corn will definitely be on the Christmas menu! It’s scrumptious! I was so glad to find a farmer here who grows it because it’s been a while since I could find it. The broccoli casserole is dirt-simple to make but is yummy.
The kittehs get nothing special for the holidays. Like yours, they get cat chow just like any other day. Well, I might give them some kitty treats. :-)
I forgot AJ was heading back north this week. It’s a shame they couldn’t have given him a couple more days at home.
Are they taking Gypsy to Brunswick or did they find another place? They’re bound to be anxious to finally sail her after all this time.
Yucky weather! Are you sure you didn’t move down here? LOL! It sounds like the kind of weather we get during winter. Definitely not fun.
Just rain for us this time and it’ll be fairly warm through Sunday. Sunday’s rain is with a cold front and we’ll have 40s for highs next week. That’ll hurt after mid 60s Sat. and Sunday.
Right nippy out there right now but pretty. A bright gibbous moon lit things up while I was out burning trash. Also a little fog rolling across the farm from the lake.
Wowza! It's later than I thought. Not that I have anything to get up early for tomorrow. Peaches is still out, so hopefully I can sleep without being stepped on.
Here he is, surrounded by the enemy, Ghost, Coal and Grey! [the rest of them were only out of the picture by a few feet. LOL] He was NOT happy!
There’s no way he can eat a ham by himself before it goes bad, even the small boneless ones, so I always freeze most of it. He can pull out a bag when he’s in the mood for it and eat that for a couple of days.
A friend of ours rented a couple of acres to grow veggies and melons for a few years and he’s the one that turned us on to Golden Incredible. He grew it one year instead of the Peaches and Cream he usually grew. I lucked on to a farmer between here and the museum this summer who grows it and bought a couple dozen ears. It was picked the day I got it and in the freezer that night.
Check your farmers market next year to see if anyone is growing it down there.
Had to lol at Peaches in his out-numbered moment. Too funny. Not to him though!
Enjoy a night’s sleep sans Peaches. Have a great day tomorrow!
TO ONE AND ALL
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.
Thanks for posting Abraham's Thanksgiving proclamation.
The weather has been nice this week,
but today is going to be Brrrr...
Which might turn out to be a good thing
as the oven will be going soon.
I'm thankful for a lot, but
I'm most thankful that God
has kept me safe all these years,
even during my stupid rebellious stage.
And for the brave men and women who
go out to do what others cannot, in order to keep us safe.
Enjoy the day and be safe on your travels.
So, come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea;
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
One year we made a TV out of an oscilloscope and watched the football game in glorious shades of green...
We were in Conus but on duty and went home for dinner.
Thanksgiving dinner on station is generally a big deal
Mama made me busy with that stuff when I was knee high.
Tear up some bread you heathen... get busy on the grinder LOL
Blessed Thanksgiving Everyone :) (((((Hugs))))
Brothers wife and he were fighting last night LOL
She wanted to make a peach pie (he loves peach pie)
