Thanksgiving Day proper was the best.
I spent the day taking care of some two hundred seventy-five gladiola corms, my canna tubers, and my dahlia tubers, they all got separated, cleaned up and packed in sawdust. My begonias weren’t ready yet, still very damp and then I went to my pile of strawberry plants, separated and cleaned two hundred of those and my pile isn’t even dented. But I felt very accomplished.
As did Elisabet. She made our entire Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, homemade cinnamon bread and green salad. Wow!
.
Not to mention she butchered the turkey the day before. Her dad did the deed while she held th
e wings and he walked her through the process but she pretty much did it all.

This morning Dirt rousted us all out of bed, thankfully he waited till sevenish, so we could do the day after Thanksgiving shopping thing (his choice mind you!). SunBirds in Yelm had a great deal on Romeos so now Dirt and I match. Southhill Freddy’s of course has the half price sox thing and we picked up icicle light for our house and Michelle’s. Then off to McLendon’s for LED colored lights to replace our big C9s. I also picked up a string of lights to replace the rope lights that died in my kitchen display case.

We were home by elevenish so the lights went up while I made homemade mayonnaise, and deviled turkey sandwiches. Man, they were yummy. I used the rest of Bet’s cinnamon bread and made bread pudding. What an excellent day.
Off to the gathering in town. See you soon dear reader hope your weekend is sensational. Looking forward to tomorrow and especially Sunday!
