@hicindy2 Yay about adding more Lenox Balsom Lane and glad Mr. HC likes the pattern! I'm thinking about getting another set of four so we have a set of eight in case the family all comes over here.

The same to you @EdithEllenLily Tomorrow I will be cleaning the house and making a quick trip to the grocery store for just a couple of things like spinach dip, pumpernickle bread, cranberry/walnut/pineapple salad and stacy's pita chips. Oh yea I need some paper towel too
I'll be up early on Thursday making 3 different variations of devilled eggs.

@stevieb Regarding Christmas, I am the same as you with the tree up but it's not decorated. Boxes containing ornaments and decorations are waiting to be opened. I went and copied the holiday letters (Mom's and ours) today, and also found some Christmas cards for Mom to send out. I have some cards I found on Zulily a year or so ago so I'm all set. The guest room looks like Santa's workshop with presents and wrapping materials everywhere. After Thanskgiving I will get busy in earnest on Christmas.

@Bird mama wrote:@stevieb Getting off of dead center or getting my rear into gear is the hardest part Once I get going, I stay going. We had some nice weather last week and I found reasons to not hang those lights up on the front porch. In my defense it was a nice temp but it was raining.
Sunday it was nice outside and I did the front yard leaves one more time. I have neighbors around me who never raked so what was on the front yard didn't come from my tree. It was near 50 and since the lawnmower fired up, I used it like a vacuum. Easier on my shoulders that way even if I have to empty the bagger more often.
When I saw how pretty is was yesterday I thought, Bernie you won't get this again, so it's today or never
It's nice again today so I made a run over to the pet cemetery to put out the two new seasonal solar lights on the grave. Might as well do it while I get get the stake in the ground.
@Bird mama Well, the good news is the painter finally showed up at nearly 1130, asking if he could finish the job after Thanksgiving. I made it clear I was a bit annoyed but that actually was much better for me, so I agreed. Asking earlier might have been nice, but it did free me up to run errands and it was a lovely day here... I got a lot done...
I know exactly what you mean about getting started... It's the hardest part and even once I get going I take lots of breaks... No wonder I'm rarely done with a minute to spare... Every year I hope to break the pattern and I think I actually did once or twice...

@Bird mama Three different versions of deviled eggs... Really...
I do love deviled eggs and haven't made them in ages... As I recall, mine were pretty darned good... Maybe I'll put some together for Christmas... I don't have some of the ingredients to make them for Thanksgiving and prefer not to have to go to the store again tomorrow since I ended up going today...

@EdithEllenLily I made cranberry sauce (pecans instead of walnuts, being a Belle...) Christmas before last... It's so yummy and I don't even like cranberries... I'd never actually put in ON a turkey sandwich until a few years ago... It really is delicious that way... The Mt. Vernon Inn has the best cranberry chutney... We don't go there much for holidays anymore, though it's still enjoyable for the occasional lunch... I wish they sold that stuff in their gift shop...

@stevieb The cranberry on the turkey sandwich would be a treat!! Turkey sandwiches can be so very boring. They need to be jazzed up like that! Sounds very yummy!!
P.S. Off to watch the past two days of the B&B story...catching up everywhere!

Just a thought to anyone who makes some kind of cranberry salad. It tastes wonderful on vanilla ice cream.
Your welcome

Yay, Northern California FINALLY got some much needed rain. We have vowed not to complain; not one little peep.
Well, I almost made it. Coach Outlet taunted me with a Taylor tote (my fave) in the lovely washed red at 60% off and free shipping. In person, it is just like a Bobbi Brown pot rouge.
I crumbled like a...well, you know.
Have a safe and lovely Turkey Day my friends.
