Success at Last!

Hurray!  The dog bed actually has a DOG on it tonight lol!

Wow! I Can't Believe We Are Done!

I am a little shocked I must admit.  Its the day after Thanksgiving and the tree is up and decorated, the mantel and piano are decorated and the house is clean.  We never get the tree up and the decorating done until the week of Christmas usually lol!  I am so happy its already finished!  Wish I could say the same about the Christmas shopping lol!

In all fairness, most of the credit goes to my daughter Megan.   I help put the tree together and wrap the garland, and she does the rest.  Her choice I might add.  And I am okay with that, decorating is not really my thing lol.  She always does a fabulous job!

Progress

The cat has graciously allowed Ella to rest her head on the side of the DOG bed.  Progress is being made lol.

Thanksgiving Pie

4 Apple Crumb Pies, 2 Pumpkin Pies and 1 Pecan Pie.

We made two kinds of stuffing too.  Tomorrow, home made mashed potatoes and homemade gravy, corn, and biscuits.  That's just what we are making, it doesn't count what everyone else brings.  We will also have homemade green beans, rottkraut (red cabbage), sweet potatoes, cheesy potatoes, cucumber salad and probably something else that I am forgetting.  Of course. the turkey!

Wishing everyone a very happy Thanksgiving day!

The New Dog Bed

Need I say more?

He's not sharing either.  He has chased off our other cat twice lol.

My Sweet Fat Cat

My sweet fat cat Drake. He is such a sweet heart, very loving and affectionate.  We have had since he was just a baby, he is a rescue from the pound.  He is going on 11 now, and is such a blessing in our lives!
