The second sleeve of the stash
sweater finished. This whole sweater has
taken longer than I hoped, but I did stop several times along the knitting way
to do other things like fix the sweater that Bethany washed and nearly ruined
in the machine. Believe it or not I did
a pretty good job of re-knitting the neck using washable Lion Brand Amazing (53%
wool). She whisked it away so fast I
didn’t get a picture of it. I will do so
the first time I see her wearing it.
This is 2015 Thanksgiving dinner. We’re moving along toward the big day 2016 so the menu is being planned. I usually do all the cooking myself with the help of granddaughter Samantha when she is home from school. This year it is going to be me alone. So sad!!!
I’ll share the menu in the next post
but you can be sure it will include fresh baked bread and pomegranate/orange
glazed brussel sprouts. Thanksgiving
this year will be on Saturday November 26, due to wonky schedules, but when it
happens there will be a full table and 12 filled chairs!
Max and Macy have taken up turboing at bedtime. I don’t know what has gotten into them. I do know that Max wouldn’t think of
streaking flat out through the house if Macy didn’t spur him on (he is the brown blur at the left). Must be the cooler weather.
Life is good.

I have to have you try my milk bread from the bread machine recipe. I got rid of the bread machine when we moved as I cant indulge in bread, hardly ever on weight watchers. So try to find the milk bread recipe ok? It is just stuff you have on hand and it makes a yummy loaf.
Love your sweater fix.
We have so much to be thankful for. Fireman and I are together for a tiny turkey day. In this new home that we love. Then his cousin invited us for a big big friday thanksgivng and guess what...we are going!
Im thankful for you dear Katherine!
Glazed brussel sprouts? Oh my, that sounds divine. I love my bread machine, too, but rarely use it. I really must dust it off and bake a loaf.
Love the thought of Macy and Max turboing through the house - wish I had the energy to do that.
Have you watched all the Longmire episodes yet? It's a good season.
I would love to have that brussels sprouts recipe! Thanksgiving here will be quiet, just us and our son. DD#1 is in the Midwest as always, and DD#2 will be with her inlaws. Gotta share, right?
Bread. I enjoy making bread. I often make too much and then send it to my sister's office, ha! Now I want to make bread, see what your post has done? My sister will be pleased hehe. I baked a breakfast bread with fresh cranberries the other day. Very pleased. :)
