It's bright and sunny out.  But it's also less than 75 degrees, so it's cold! :-) I'm on the couch with Penny pressed against me wearing red Christmas pajama bottoms and a navy hoodie.

We're planning on having our "Thanksgiving meal" tomorrow instead.  Tim did make his pumpkin pie which we each had a slice of tonight.  We spent the day lounging around ... See Full Entry »

Last week I got a postcard from Teleflora.  They ... See Full Entry »

We'll probably end up with our usually turkey and sausage stuffing, some other sides, plenty of wine and a pumpkin pie. Yum! Two ... See Full Entry »
