What Day is IT???

By -
First things first: AL painted their bedroom last week.  I love it. 

I know we are odd here at Irisheyes, due to our work schedules.....
so we cooked Tom Turkey yesterday. 

I went to the grocery store at 11 am. and the turkey and sides were on the table at 6pm. 

Just Fireman and I and the clowder. That's the term for multiple cats.....

You know what?  It is so easy to cook Thanksgiving dinner if you don't have to clean the house....
that's the ticket.  It took me 52 years to get that straight.  

The turkey was moist and delish.  I am not a vegetarian this week or Christmas week. 

Today: Leftovers
Tomorrow: Turkey at my dear neighbors......she's having a gluten free dairy free Thanksgiving......seriously.

Friday: Dinner at my Sister In Laws house.  I am gifting that cute boy hat in fall colors to little Jaxon on Friday.  

In between: lots of knitting.  

and lots of thankfulness!  I have so very much to be thankful for. 
Not the least of which is YOU.

Your holiday celebrations sound wonderful - enjoy your time with family, friends and also with your knitting.

Happy Thanksgiving to you (I know gluten free dairy free sounds awful, but as long as there's turkey and cranberry sauce... =)

Happy Thanksgiving to you! Even though I have learned that the worse part of the holidays is the house cleaning, I am having my daughter and her boyfriend for dinner and even that one fella coming (who has been to our home several times) has thrown me into a mad cleaning frenzy!

Happy Thanksgiving to you, dear Kathy, and Fireman. I love the bedroom! Al is so talented!! I wish I could come up with things like that.

We are having turkey day on Friday because the firefighter and all three nurses are working on Thursday. Whatever day--as long as we are all about giving thanks during this season.

Beautiful, serene room! I wish I had painting skills. Okay, not really. I'm not into getting dirty, unless it's on a fire scene. Soot and pump panel grime are fine... paint, not so much.

Happy Thanksgiving week to you and yours!

The bedroom has such a modern, artistic flare. Beautiful!!!

How nice to spread out your Thanksgiving celebrations. Not having to clean/prepare your house for company is a huge PLUS. Nice it worked out that way for you!

Happy Thanksgiving Days!

Multiple celebrations... that's my kind of holiday! My mom calls them "protracted" celebrations. I love that term! Happy Thanksgiving, Kathy.

Al! I love the colors! And, yes, Kathyb, it was nice for me too not to have to clean the house for Thanksgiving...I only roasted the turkey and stuffing and took it to my daughter's house! She's that one that had to fuss this year! Hope you have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas season!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
