Thursday, November 23rd, 2017…...
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I got up early and
found the weather was pretty nice. The
last couple of days we had rain showers off and on but it was actually warmer
than normal. This morning it was 54º at
6:30am! I gave Quincy a nice walk and then wiped her feet and brought her in
and fed her her breakfast. Lydia had taken out the (really small chicken size)
turkey she had bought and it was thawed out already. We were not scheduling dinner until we heard
how Penny was doing. But she got all of
it ready to go into the oven when we knew.
No worries. She was doing well and came over early and we spent the day
watching parades and football. I got Quincy walking duties and it was drizzling
every time I took her out! Dinner was turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and
gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes, rolls and pumpkin pie. The girls even cleaned up. Except dog duty, it was a lazy day for me!
Black Friday, November 24th, 2017…...
Neither one of
us is a black Friday shopper so we kind of hung around the house today. Penny spent the night so I got up and walked
Quincy and then came in and took a shower and had breakfast. The girls hung
around the house and Penny hung around the bathroom. She is still not feeling quite right. The medicine has left her queasy, but not
sick. Everything is passing right on through! She did eat some solid food so we’ll
see what happens. She went back home to
get her mail and pick up a few things.
She will stay here at least another night. I worked on some stuff in my shop. I have decided to cover most of the west and
north walls with pegboard so I worked on one of the panels and got it
installed. That was in between rest
breaks watching some of the college football games. It’s rival week across the country so each
team is playing their rival and has something to prove. The big thing up here right now is the Civil
War game. That’s the BIG game between
Oregon and Oregon State. University of Oregon
campus is in Eugene and Oregon State is in Corvallis, about 30 miles away so
folks up here pick their team and are adamant supporters of that team. You’re
either a Ducks fan or a Beavers fan! Neither
team is going to a bowl game but Oregon has a way better team most years. But OSU comes to play each time so we’ll see.
They play tomorrow afternoon.
Dinner tonight
was turkey tetrazzini. Lydia keeps some
turkey for sandwiches but cuts up some for this dish. I know I’m weird but I actually like it more
than the original Thanksgiving dinner! Yesterday
we had pumpkin pie, today she made an apple pie. Later, after another walk with
Quincy, we rested and watched our taped shows.
